Hi Marcellus,

ITK does not provide any visualization.
ITK performs image segmentation and registration.

The concepts of Coronal, Axial and Saggital
are mainly related to visualization.

Two possible options are

1) You may extract 2D slices from a 3D volume
    using the itk::ExtractImageFilter.

    Then, you can use this 2D slices for display
    as images in a GUI.


2) You could also use VTK for visualizing the slice.
    In that case you may want to convert the ITK image
    into a VTK image using the ImageToVTKImage filter
    available in InsightApplications/Auxiliary/vtk.

    Then pass the  vtkImageData to the vtkImageViewer2
    class. This class allows to select the orientation
    and the slice to be viewed.
