<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Bradley,<div><br><div>sorry to bother you again. Would the method that you suggested work also for DICOM images with values ranging from -1024 to 0? I got this doubt because reading the description of the GrayScaleDilateImageFilter it reads "<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">Only elements of the structuring element having values > 0 are candidates for affecting the center pixel.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">" So, I suppose that in this case I should use a different dilate filter instead?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thank you very much!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Mirco</span></div><div><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: mirco9091@hotmail.it<br>To: blowekamp@mail.nih.gov<br>Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 17:42:35 +0000<br>CC: insight-users@itk.org<br>Subject: Re: [ITK-users] Location of 4-connected voxels with a specific intensity<br><br>
