[vtkusers] Matching CT and RT dose coordinates

[Xiaofeng Z]

The position of RT Dose grid is usually stored as relative to the referenced image in Grid Frame Offset Vector.  Do you know if GDCM corrected for that?

Subject: [vtkusers] Matching CT and RT dose coordinates

Hi all,

I am trying to overlay an dose shade on a CT slice.I am 
using vtkDICOMImageReader to read the CT and vtkGDCMImageReader to 
display the dose shade.But I am having problem with the coordinates.How 
to relate the coordinates? For e.g: I  get ImagePositionPatient of CT 
image for central slice as [-275,-524,-128.25] and ImagePositionPatient 
for dose as [-228.65,-419.25,-122.5] adn their spacings are 
[1.074,1.074,3] and [2.52.5.2.5] respectively for CT and Rt dose.


The image looks as in the attached figure.

Any hint

Thanks

Jothy
