[Insight-users] Creating an approximate cross-section of a RT

[Xiaofeng Z]

The problem with the approach in the paper is that RT structure contours can have arbitrary resolution.

Hi Xiaofeng, 
 
You can use the code from this Insight Journal paper: http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/publication/701 to read the DICOM-RT structures into a binary volume.  An easy way to then visualize the different orientations of the ROI is to load it into ITK-SNAP ( http://www.itksnap.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php ).  
 
Cheers,
Jason

All,
 
 
 
I've post this in VTK board but I didn't get the answer.  Before I set
 
out to implement it, I'll post it here.
 
 
 
I have a set of contours in axial orientation representing a ROI. I
need to sketch the ROI in coronal and sagittal plane, by connection the
points made from the intersection of the contours and the cutting plane.
Is there a function to do that in vtk or in ITK?
 
 
 
Some in VTK board suggested constructing a surface and create
 
the crosssection by cutting the surface.  But that is not what I need.
 
I need to do it in the rudimentary way for performance.
 
 Many thanks!
 
Xiaofeng
