PyReconstruct Download
PyReconstruct is a modern update of Reconstruct, a program developed in the lab of Prof. Kristen Harris by Dr. John Fiala (more info below). PyReconstruct was conceptualized and written in 2022-2024 by Harris Lab members Julian Falco and Michael Chirillo, MD, PhD. Like Reconstruct, PyReconstruct allows users to trace and annotate images, thereby creating 3D reconstructions. Among many other quality of life improvements, PyReconstruct can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. The user interface as well as data structures have been modernized and simplified. Questions can be directed to Dr. Chirillo (m.chirillo@utexas.edu).
