I am looking for software to reconstruct a 3-dimensional
object from a series of 2-dimensional slices.
The density of data in a slice plane is much higher
than that orthogonal to the slice planes.  It must be
possible to obtain coordinate lists of arbitrary slices
of the reconstructed 3D object.

I am using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner to get
tomographic images of the human orbit (the eyeball, muscles,
etc), and want to reconstruct the orbital geometry from the
series of slices.  In order to combine the data of several
subjects, I need to reconstruct each separately, normalize
in size and orientation, and then re-slice.  These
normalized slices can, in a way, be averaged.

Does anyone know of such software that runs under UNIX?

[Please reply by mail.]
