How do I create a smoother model from a low resolution scan (wide spacing between slices)?
As a basic guideline, higher resolution scans (small spacing between image slices, small voxel size) will generally allow you to create higher quality models. However, sometimes you may have to work with images that have wide spacing (or large slice thickness, very few slices). The following lists some tools you can use to improve the image quality and create smoother image: • Reslice the image to create a new image with thinner slice thickness by using the “Image/Reslice” command. Simply enter a new slice thickness that’s smaller than its current slice thickness, a new image file name to create a reslices image. The reslicing command uses image interpolation algorithms to add additonal slices. • Segment the resliced image to get object boundaries. Select the “VIew/Overlay/Neighbor Boundaries” option to show boundaries on neighboring slices. Use the “Edit/Boundary Editor” to edit the boundaries to ensure smoother transition between slices. • Create a surface model using the Surface Ren
