Description
The BETA Center requires 3D image reconstruction software. This software should be capable of rendering 3D images using data from magnetic resonance imagers (MRI) or micro computed tomography (microCT) in order to create a model that can be quantified. It should also enable 3D segmentation and element meshing, which can be used for computation fluid dynamics.
