Abstract :
CTMRedit is a GUI tool for viewing CT and MRI images in three orthogonal planes, for manually or automatically segmenting regions of interest (ROI), and for interpolating between outline contours to create a 3D outline surface. Features of CTMRedit include display and I/O of 8-bit and 16-bit image formats, easy navigation of a large image database, and easy-to-use ROI editing tools. CTMRedit is written in the Matlab programming language, so the code is platform-independent and easy to extend or re-use
