Hi Subrahmanyam,<br>
<br>
<br>
It will be great to have your contribution<br>
submitted to the Insight Journal.<br>
<br>
<br>
About your question regarding upload limits:<br>
<br>
The IJ currently supports upload up to 500MB,<br>
this limit is flexible and can be increased<br>
easily if necessary (up to 2GB).<br>
<br>
<br>
Therefore the 60Mb of your dataset should pass fine.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
<br>
Luis<br>

Dear Mathieu,<br>
<br>
I am very happy to inform that I am now able to export the segmentation results to RTSTRUCT using ITK.<br>
Thanks a lot for your valuable guidance on the pipeline, handling DICOM sequences and converting 3-D mask to contour.<br>
<br>
*The inputs to the current Exporter are:*<br>
*<br>
1. A DICOM slice of the CT image:*<br>
For extracting patient related and other common information.<br>
<br>
* 2. 3-D Masks of the segmentation regions: *<br>
These are converted to contours using the itkContourExtractor2DImageFilter & itkExtractImageFilter and is given as input input to the RTSTRUCT writer.<br>
<br>
*3. Few other parameters:<br>
*Parameters like names to be assigned to the ROIs, Number of ROIs to be exported, type of contours etc...<br>
*<br>
The output of the Exporter:* RTSTRUCT DICOM file.<br>
<br>
I verified the results by viewing the output file in a DICOM dumper, and also by superposing the RTSTRUCT contours over the DICOM CT image, using some third party tools. The code seems to work fine :-)<br>
<br>
Now RTSTRUCT Writer part is done. but RTSTRUCT Reader is yet to be written :-(<br>
Since the above application does not need RTSTRUCT Reader, I first started with the RTSTRUCT Writer.<br>
Still many modifications and cleanup are to be done for RTSTRUCT writer itself for using it for other general applications.<br>
<br>
My doubt is: for contributing this part to ITK (Insight Journal?), how should I manage the modified/added files?<br>
<br>
In my code, I *added *the following files to the *ITK\Code\IO direcory*:<br>
1. itkRTSTRUCTIO.h<br>
2. itkRTSTRUCTIO.cxx<br>
3. itkRTSTRUCTIOFactory.h<br>
4. itkRTSTRUCTIOFactory.cxx<br>
<br>
I *modified* the following files in *ITK\Utilities\gdcm\src directory* by adding few additional functions:<br>
1. gdcmFile.cxx<br>
2. gdcmFileHelper.h<br>
3. gdcmFileHelper.cxx<br>
<br>
There are two other files: mask2contour.cxx & Export2RTSTRUCT.cxx.<br>
<br>
Can I simply put all the above files in a single folder and submit to the Insight journal along with the paper?<br>
(I still need to do significant cleanup and write the IJ-Paper :D)<br>
<br>
The DICOM files that I am using for testing are bit large (around 60 MB).<br>
Is there any size limit for IJ submission?<br>
<br>
Once again many thanks for your help.<br>
<br>
Warm Regards,<br>
Subrahmanyam Gorthi.<br>
