'''Image-based meshing''' is opening up exciting new possibilities for the application of computational continuum mechanics (numerical methods such as [[Computational fluid dynamics]] (CFD) and [[Finite element method|Finite Element analysis]] to problems in [[Biomechanics]], [[Soil mechanics]], [[Characterization (materials science)|Material characterization]], and [[Nondestructive testing]]. Meshing techniques that can rapidly generate robust, high quality meshes from complex 3D image data, as can be obtained from [[Magnetic resonance imaging]] (MRI), [[Computed tomography]] (CT) or [[Microtomography]] for example, are increasingly in demand. Different methods of generating the required volume discretizations directly and robustly from the image data have been developed, however there are a range of issues related to image processing and mesh generation which still need to be addressed.
