X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been an important technology in paleontology for several decades. It helps researchers to acquire detailed anatomical structures of fossils non-destructively. Despite its widespread application, developing an efficient and user-friendly method for segmenting CT data continues to be a formidable challenge in the field. Most CT data segmentation software operates on 2D interfaces, which limits flexibility for real-time adjustments in 3D segmentation. Here, we introduce Curves Mode in Drishti Paint 3.2, an open-source tool for CT data segmentation. Drishti Paint 3.2 allows users to manually or semi-automatically segment the CT data in both 2D and 3D environments, providing a novel solution for revisualizing CT data in paleontological studies.
