Hi Rostislav, The answer is that the ContourModel is suited best for your task. Right now all the 2D segmentation tools are using the contourmodel. However in most of the cases the original contour is written right into the binary image and not stored anywhere after that. You can see an example of how the tools are using the ContourModel e.g. in the mitkContourTool::OnMouseReleased(...). The contour itself is retrieved here from the superclass by calling GetFeedbackContour(). The LiveWireTools keeps the contour in the datamanager until the user confirms the segmentation.
We already have plans of how to enhance the support of the contourmodel for the segmentation: E.g. that the original contour is not thrown away and that the surface interpolation is using the contourmodel. Another topic is a better support for conversion between binary images and contours. Of course we are happy about any contribution! In that case it would be good to get in touch early!

I have the means to create the vessel paths and a reslicing window perpendicular to the path, so the next step is creating the contours which define the vessel shape. For now I would like to create contours either by hand or by using one of the 2D binary segmentation tools and converting this 2D segmentation to a contour. So now it seems to me that I have two choices on how to create, store and use these contours: PlanarFigure and ContourModel. Could you please tell me what is your view on which one would suit the task better? It seems to me that ContourModel is more actively worked on now. Perhaps I could also contribute to that work. Rostislav. PS: The final goal is a full system for running vascular flow simulations - basically I'm creating a new MITK-based GUI for SimVascular - http://wiki.simtk.org/simvascular/. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss anything regarding this work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
