Today, we are fully immersed into the era of 3D biology. It has been extensively demonstrated that 3D models: () better mimic the physiology of human tissues; () can effectively replace animal models; () often provide more reliable results than 2D ones. Accordingly, anti-cancer drug screenings and toxicology studies based on multicellular 3D biological models, the so-called "-oids" (e.

- Segmentation of single cells in microscopy images is critical for bioimage analysis and is addressed by the 3D-Cell-Annotator, which combines 3D active surfaces and shape descriptors for semi-automated segmentation.
- The tool is integrated into the Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) and achieves segmentation precision comparable to human experts on various 3D biological structures.
- 3D-Cell-Annotator is available for download as a CUDA/C++ patch for MITK, compatible with Windows 64-bit and recent Linux systems, and can run on consumer-level laptops with a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics card.
