[vtkusers] [Insight-users] visualization-problem after segmentation and cropping

Wed May 26 21:10:09 EDT 2010

Hello Luis,

I have manually converted the pixel type to unsigned long (ElementType = MET_ULONG) in. mhd file and loaded with 3Dslicer. It works but the 3D-image is not correctly displayed. I get as 3D two axial-view side by side. If I visualize it in my program with vtk, then I get purposeful 3D-image.

Here are the screenshots:

Output-Image of watershed on my program (visualized with vtkContourFilter):

Output-Image of DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2, so before segmentation:

Thank you.

Hi Yusuf,

Excellent.

Thanks for posting the screenshots.

They illustrate that the pipeline is working correctly
up to the output of the region growing filter.

You can now focus on getting the Watershed 
filter to work correctly by using as output image
an image of pixel type "unsigned long" and 
making sure that it doesn't turn into "long long"
in your 64 bits machine.

Please post the screenshot of the Watershed
output once you get it to work.

    Thanks

           Luis
