How to convert a set of 50 cross sectional images into a 3D object?

Hello,

I have a set of 50 PNG image slices (cross sections) of a brain that I would like to stack together to re-create a 3D object (the whole brain) that can be rotated, zoomed inside a webpage.  Can someone tell me the tools I will need to create the 3D object?  Can I use Adobe?  What will the file format be for the completed 3D object, does it need to be .3DS?  And what web programming language do i need to display this 3D object once I create it?  Can I use javascript to code the webpage interactivity part (zoom, rotate in 3 axes)?  Thank you.

Papervision, Away 3D, Sandy 3D and the AlternativaPlatform all are 3rd party class's that support full 3d, including import of models (3ds, obj, ect).

I don't think any of these libraries are capable of handling cross-sectional slices in 3D for all of them use planes/vertices concept. Cross-sectionals add another level of complexity for internal structure (sort of 4th dimension) must be taken into consideration. I may be wrong though.
