Hi Daniel,

I think I managed to get the image on which I projected and filled the contour 
of the mitk::contourTool, but know I have to write back this "reoriented slice" 
on the original working data. This is normally done by the 
OverwriteSliceImageFilter but It's not possible to use the same approach in 
this case.

Do you have any idea on how to do that? I had a look at some mappers 
(imageDataMapper and geometrye2dDataMapper3d) but I'm stacked and I don't know 
how I could do that
Could you give me some hints please?

thank you very much

chiara

Dear Chiara,

the tool you describe would be very valuable indeed. Especially
colleagues working with MR images are asking for something like that.

About the implementation idea, I would prefer to change mitk::SegTool2D
in a way that it can cope with reoriented slices. I know that the
current implementation is missing a concept for this, but we could
change that.

The simple part in implementation would be to extract a 2D slice from
the 3D volume -- the 2D rendering does that and VTK provides a flexible
filter for reslicing.

The harder part will be to "write back" 2D slices to a 3D volume. When
this is done for a single slice, I see no problem (only a minor
definition problem of how thick the slice is). However, if you do that
for consecutive (reoriented) slices, I an not really sure how you can
guarantee that you do not generate single pixel holes in structures that
you wanted to segment as a block. One solution could be to define slice
thickness larger than slice offset.

To answer your question clearly: nobody here is currently working on
this issue and I am not aware of plans to do so. But as I mentioned,
there is definitely a demand for this feature, so I would support
integrating changes towards this direction. If you have suggestions for
required changes, please feel free to send them in and start a
discussion.

Would you be willing and able to contribute these changes to MITK?

Kind regards
Daniel
