First half of work completed

We completed the 1st of our work we intended i.e. we were successfully able to built a simple tool which visualized a MRI scan data. We also wrote a paper and here is our code which does the work only it requires the standard headsq data which comes with vtk data. (Vtk should be installed in the system of course.)

vtk installation instuction, set up and other datails can be found here.

It's a beautiful application easy to download and install . It has been written using qt and c++.
The source code is also available for changes. It uses Visualization tool kit as the base because it is very easy to implement then the basic toolkit like Open GL.

our 2nd step

We have downloaded few application already created using vtk and installed vtk. Now we are going through an online tutorial about how to use vtk for writing various functions. We also downloaded the example source code. Now our job is pretty easy. We compile source codes, check outputs, edit them or rewrite them.

our 1st approach

We did background check on what vtk is all about and what are the scopes of creating a useful application using this toolkit. We took up the project when we had enough resources and information for our design. But all the credit goes to our mentor Mr. Anupam Agarwal who suggested us the topic as well as guided us.
Visualization Tool Kit:
It's a toolkit which can be imbedded with c++ on windows i don't know if its available for other plateforms but i read it its' plateform independent so i guess there must be ways to run it on various plateforms. It has many inbuilt libraries which makes the work of a programmer very easy. For example if you will write a programme for 3-D cone which interacts with user . It would be pretty lengthy using open GL since they use basics for this but here its hardly few lines. So for creating bigger apps you don't have to worry about minute details.
What we have thought of designing is a medical utility as a coloured x-ray so that a portion of the body can be seen in different colour which can be a breakthroug in medical science. We have though of taking up a software approach.
