Hi Albert;<br>
You have implemented a SSD(shaded surface display) method. With this
method you are creating polygonal data, you must create a volume for
using vtkColorTransferFunction. For seeing vessels and soft tissues,
you must read about hounsfield unit(to understand the meaning of scalar
values), VRT(volume rendering technique)(to understand how to create a
volume from medical image data), vtkVolumeTextureMapper3D(to understand
how to map a texturizedvolume), vtkImplicitFunction (to understand how
to set the opacities of scalar values) and vtkColorTransferFunction(to
understand how to set the colors of scalar values)...I suggest you to
check the demo version of IQ-VIEW

for understanding the basics of these medical methods...<br>

  <div>Thanks for the reply.I am new toVTK can u please tell me the
pipeline execution of vtk color transferfuntion i.e. normally after
which class should I place vtk color transfer function ,my task is to
see vessels and muscles on volume rendered image&nbsp; but currently I am
seeing only bones.Please Help.Thanks in Advance.</div>

You can see the detail of vtkColorTransferFunction() at<br>
  <a moz-do-not-send="true"
 href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkColorTransferFunction.html"
 target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkColorTransferFunction.html</a>,<br>
obviously&nbsp;'SetInputConnection'&nbsp; is not a member of<br>
'vtkColorTransferFunction'. I suggest you to see the examples at<br>
