(Image3d)
Please note, this tool is deprecated.
You should better use the successor imageXd.
Image3d is a command line tool to process and evaluate spatial data (such as CT or MRI data). Additionally, it can process the resulting vector fields, point-vector-lines clouds (see cloud2) and mesh data (see transform2).
Alternatively, you can also use Nipype (AFNI, ANTs, FSL) for spatial data analysis.
Or with a GUI – MRIcro, MRIcron or MRIcroGL and also commercial tools like Imaris and Amira.
