[vtkusers] VTK Surface & Volume Intersection Question

[Teek]

Hi VTK Users,

So currently I have a vtkVolume created from DICOM slices.
On the other hand, I also have a vtkSphereSoure->vtkActor which is tracking
the motion of my mouse.

I was wondering if there was a way to detect when the vtkActor and vtkVolume
intersect. I don't need to exactly know how they intersect or the points
that intersect themselves - just when they intersect, like a boolean of
sorts.

Originally I was thinking that maybe I could just get the center position of
the sphere in my application loop and check if that point lies within the
rendering of the volume but I'm not sure if that's the best method, nor if
there are any VTK classes for that. I was wondering if there are any VTK
classes that can already do this or would i have to manually do it.

I was looking through a couple examples and they seem to all deal with
vtkPolyData and not a volume itself.

I would appreciate any help.

Regards,
Teek
