[vtkusers] [Insight-users] output of segmentation to DICOM

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Ali,


1) Regarding the output of the Watershed filter,
    Please look at the examples:

          Insight/Examples/
               WatershedSegmentation1.cxx
               WatershedSegmentation2.cxx

    These examples are described in the
    ITK Software Guide:

       http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf


    You can save the output images using the
    MetaImage file format, or the VTK file format.

    Simply use .mhd or .vtk as filename extensions
    respectively.



2)   You could view these images with:

        a)  ParaView (www.paraview.org)
        b)  Slicer (www.slicer.org)

      (Among others...)


3)   The classes used for connecting ITK and VTK
       are described in the following Tutorial:

"Getting Started II: Using ITK with VTK"
http://www.itk.org/CourseWare/Training/GettingStarted-II.pdf

       You will find the source code under

        InsightApplications/Auxiliary/vtk
http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Auxiliary/vtk/?root=InsightApplications



4)  Regarding connecting ITK and VTK, you will also
     find useful to look at the following Insight Journal
     paper:

      "Seamless VTK-ITK pipeline connection for image data handling"
      http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/publication/146
      http://hdl.handle.net/1926/495

     The corresponding source code
     can also be found in the directory:

        InsightApplications/Auxiliary/vtk
http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Auxiliary/vtk/?root=InsightApplications



5)  For basic examples on how to use VTK
     to visualize segmentation generated by ITK,
     you may want to look at:

          InsightApplications/Auxiliary/vtk
                 itkReadITKImage3DExtractContourVTK.cxx
                 itkReadITKImage3DSegmentShowVTK.cxx
                 itkReadITKImageSegmentShowVTK.cxx
                 itkReadITKImageShowSplineVTK.cxx
                 itkReadITKImageShowVTK.cxx


6)  You may also find useful to look at the following
      segmentation applications that use the watershed
      filter:

      InsightApplications/SegmentationEditor
http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/SegmentationEditor/?root=InsightApplications

      InsightApplications/SegmentationEditorFltkGui
http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/SegmentationEditorFltkGui/?root=InsightApplications


      Both of them use the Watershed filter,
      and both of them use VTK visualization.



7) Finally,
    Please note that CMake works fine in Windows Vista.

    You may have run into the common problem with
    the Windows Vista UAC, that forces you to run
    CMake (and the Visual Studio IDE) as Administrator.

    For solutions,
    Please look at this email from the archives:

     Regards,


             Luis
