3D software Listed here are software that are especially useful for the analysis of 3D data. Note: many of the entries are just cross references to software listed elsewhere on this site. |

| slicer | The toolkit enables biologists to retrieve, visualize, measure, annotate, and perform geometric morphometric analyses from high-resolution specimen data both from volumetric scans (CTs and MRs) as well as from 3D surface scanners effectively within 3D Slicer. Descriptions of the software and links to documentation are available here Developed by A. Murat Maga. | 12/3/2020 |
| geomorph | A morphometrics package in R for the collection and analysis of landmark-based geometric morphometric data. It is available on the CRAN package website. Thanks to Dean Adams. | 11/1/2012 |
| TIVMI | Requires a (free) license, and allows for the treatment of DICOM files, 3D HMH reconstruction, segmentation, along with numerous operations described in the manual TIVMI also includes a facial approximation module, AFA3D, still on development.
This software can be used to collect landmarks on 3D and automatize geometric operations. The recently added "Path 3D" plug-in allows for the positioning of series of points on outline that can be resampled to be equidistant. The segmentation module is the latest one, and is similar to what Amira (Avizo) proposes. The software TIVMI (Treatment and Increased Vision for Medical Imaging), is developed by the University of Bordeaux (B. Dutailly, UMR 5199 PACEA), and is freely downloadable. |

| 3D-ID | Geometric Morphometric Classification of Crania for Forensic Scientists. 3D-ID is a dedicated, but flexible, Java program providing geometric morphometric tools to aid in the assessment of the sex and/or ancestral affiliation of unknown cranial remains. By Dennis E.Slice and Ann Ross. | 1/19/2010 |
| Article from 2008 giving overview of 3D procedures. | ||
| BioImageXD | Free open source software for analysis and visualization of multidimensional biomedical images. Website. Theoretically BioImageXD will run on nearly any platform/hardware with an OpenGL graphics card, but for comfortable use with large images you really need gigabytes of RAM, a modern processor running at 1.5 or more GHz, and 256 or more MB of memory on your graphics card. |

| Landmark editor | Landmark was developed by the scientists at the Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization (IDAV) and the University of California, Davis. Working together with collaborators at the American Museum of Natural History, the team was able to build an easy to use tool for 3D landmark editing and placement on geometric surfaces typically obtained via laser range scans.). Version 3.6. Documentation, and software as well as an example of its application to "evolutionary morphing.". |

| Edgewarp3 | Thin-plane splines and related methods for 3D data. Linux and Mac OSX. Reads CT and other medical images in Dicom format and produces a grayscale volume which can be navigated and landmarked by the usual Edgewarp tools. By Bill Green and Fred L. Bookstein. | 2/24/2005 |
| 3D Imaging Workstation | The MGI Workstation operates on 3D Image data derived from a variety of sources of section scan data or from Laser surface scans. Developed for Maxillo-facial surgery, this has found many applications in orthopaedic and other surgery. The user can use a variety of cutting, repositioning and joining procedures on the 3D data, which will have been acquired from CT, MRI or even 3D ultrasound. Surface views of the manipulated image can be viewed from any direction; sectional images can be reconstructed along any plane, allowing full assessment of the spatial image structure modified by the user. By Robin Richards, Medical Physics, MEDICAL IMAGING GROUP, University College London and the UCL Hospital. | 2006 |
| VTK | VTK software is free and was built for CT scans. Can use its Marching Cubes algorithm to produce 3-D surfaces and then export it in a format for INTEGRATE. | 2/22/2005 |
| DSDIGIT | A program to collect 2 and 3-dimensional coordinates of points using a digitizer. By Dennis Slice. | 11/5/1994 |
| Morpheus et al. |
Cross-platform package for morphometric data analysis. Versions for AIX, DOS/WIN, LINUX, and SGI. Provides a comprehensive, cross-platform environment for the acquisition, processing, and analysis of morphometric data. By Dennis E. Slice. |

| IMP | The Integrated Morphometrics Package for Windows contains programs that can be used on 3D data. Developed by David Sheets and described in the primer by Zelditch et al. (2004). | 7/7/04 |
| MorphoStudio | Commercial 2D & 3D software they describe as a "software suite for dentists, orthodontists, oral and maxillofacial, craniofacial, plastic and cosmetic surgeons, and other specialists... , who need advanced geometric-morphometrics tools." Includes GPA, finite element analysis, thin-plate spline, measurement analysis, and statistical tests. MorphoStudio incorporates a dense correspondence algorithm so that a mean object can be derived from a sample, ready for further analyses e.g. PCA etc Version 2.0 (for 2D data) and 3.0 (that can load 3D surface scans as wrl files) are available. | 4/19/2005 |

| Idoimaging | If you work with medical imaging files, this site can help you. Looking for a free DICOM viewer, DICOM converter, or PACS client? You'll find them here. idoimaging.com tracks free medical imaging applications and resources: conversion programs, image display and analysis, surface and volume rendering, PACS clients and servers. Many programs are classified by a speciality to allow you to find similar programs by imaging modality, medical specialization, or similar. Half of all the programs listed here work with DICOM files, but there are over 25 file formats covered. All the programs included are free and intended for distribution; there are no "demo" versions of commercial applications. If you are involved in programming, many of the programs are open-source, and provide APIs and SDKs for radiology programmers. |
