[ITK-users] Getting different labels slice by slice

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello Sarah,

Here is an idea. Create an image where each slice contains the slice number, then add that to you original label image, and do a little binary logic. The goal here would be to give each slice sequentially higher numbers. Then you can runs a statistics image filter in 3D. You can use the a component from the PhysicalPointImageSource[1] as the image with the slice number.

Good luck,
Brad

However I'm stuck here, because I need to analyze the mean intensities of these objects in the original image, but I need to to this analysis in 2D, because I need the intensities for each slice.

And my idea was to then use the label statistics image filter on the output of the slice by slice filter to extract the mean values. However, it turned out that although the conversion is made slice by slice, many times on adjacent slices the same label is assigned to the same object (I guess that it makes sense!), so when I use the label statistics, is like having 3D labels again, instead of a set of 2D labels. Therefore, I was wondering if there is some option to have different labels for each slice, or there is any other way to evaluate the 2D mean intensity of 3D objects!
