Module Description

The module generates a Body Centric Cubic (BCC) mesh from a labeled image. Initially the generated mesh is homogeneous, that means does not distinguish different tissues. Later the module specifies which tissue each tetrahedron belongs to. Each tissue is capable of automatically adjusting its resolution based on its geometric complexity and the predefined subdivision criterion. The current version of the module supports a single-tissue input labeled image.

Use Cases

Brain BCC mesh
Nidus BCC mesh
Ventricles BCC mesh


Panels and their use

  • Input/Output panel:
    • Fixed Volume: Here you choose the "fixed image", which is the reference image.
User Interface
