3D ROI generation

Sullivan, Michael J (College of Med.)
Hi. I'm in need of some direction.  It has been a while since I've made any extensive use of imageJ.  I have a set of dicom files (e.g.  export-0001.dcm) from a microCT of mice lungs.  I need to build a 3D ROI.  

The process as I imagine it is to progress through the set of images drawing 2D ROIs as I go -- hopefully I don't need to draw ROIs on every slice.  I then want to construct the 3D ROI and view it in a tool that will allow me to 1) change the angle of the three axis, 2) Allow me to select the color of the 3D ROI,   3) Allow me to have more than one 3D ROI visible in different colors, and 4) Save the image to a TIF or JPEG.

I've been looking at the plugins available but feel like I'm drinking from a fire-hose.  I'm hoping that someone might direct me to the best place to start.

--- Mike

Hi Mike, for working with DICOM files and building 3D ROIs in ImageJ, a good starting point is the 3D Viewer plugin. You can draw 2D ROIs on selected slices, then interpolate between them to create a 3D ROI. Using a BratGenerator tool alongside this workflow can help simulate and optimize ROI placement across slices, saving time and improving accuracy before final 3D reconstruction.
