[Insight-users] Exporting Segmentation Results to RTSTRUCT using ITK

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Subrahmanyam,


It will be great to have your contribution
submitted to the Insight Journal.


About your question regarding upload limits:

    The IJ currently supports upload up to 500MB,
    this limit is flexible and can be increased
    easily if necessary (up to 2GB).


Therefore the 60Mb of your dataset should pass fine.


    Regards,


       Luis
