Hi,<br>
I haven't used the Digisens geometry reader so I hope that it works
fine. Be careful with it because I don't think it's been thoroughly
tested.<br>
Regarding the definition of the volume, in ITK, the origin is the
coordinate of the first voxel. This is what allows you to place the
volume at the right location. Using your grid parameters, I would
say that you have to set the origin as (coordinate-by-coordinate)<br>
scale * 0.5 * (resolution-1) + center<br>
so that the center of the reconstructed volume is around the
"center" parameter of your xml file.<br>
The direction would allow you to tilt your volume but since I don't
understand the digisens parameter, I can't help you. I advise you to
work on it later.<br>
I hope this helps. Good luck!<br>
