might this be the same problem as in<br><h1 class="ha"><span id=":yn" class="hP"> problem with orientation of dicom output from segmentation</span></h1>where the dicom 3d volume is changed in orientation?<br><br>Kind regards, Michael<br>

<div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im">Dear Bill,<br><br>I indeed didn't define the origin correctly. However, now there seems to be a more<br>serious problem.<br><br>Since I'm not sure I can upload screenshots to this mailing list, I have put a <br>
ITKsnap screenshot of the original dcm volume view, together with output after<br>
the affine filter and code on this site:<br><br><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/michielmentink/programming/itk/image-translate" target="_blank">http://sites.google.com/site/michielmentink/programming/itk/image-translate</a><br>
<br>
You can see there that before and after the affine filter, using identity transformation,<br>the filesize, number of pixels, and pixel sizes are identical.<br><br>There is a small bit of the original volume visible in the resulting dicom volume, but<br>
it contains only image data on a eight slices and the slices are deformed. <br><br>What I can make of the data, it seems that the filter has rotated the dicom volume<br>so that the 'coronal' (seeing)from the front) view now shows the 'axial' view (seeing<br>
from above).<br>Also, the image is flipped in both X and Y axis.<br><br></div>If I change the Z origin to -69 instead of 69, most image slices actually contain the<br>image data, but still the views have been changed completely, like mentioned before.<div>
<div></div><div class="h5"><br>
<br>What is going on? <br>What I really want to do is load in a dicom volume, translate it in the X, Y, Z direction<br>and save it. Normally, the affine filter should be used for this, right?<br>
<br>For completeness, I've pasted the code again.<br><br>Kind regards, Michael<div><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 4:05 PM, Bill Lorensen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bill.lorensen@gmail.com" target="_blank">bill.lorensen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
