We have developed a module that does this in SlicerHeart project, but we’ll make it public only when the associated paper is published. Until then, there are two modules that you can use to achieve this:

1. Create curved planar reformat volume and measure on that volume

> Hi Andras, Sometimes people end up having to scan coiled snakes, or fish that are in little jars. Depending on what they need to do with it, they may have to ‘straighten’ the specimen. Is there a way this CPR can be generalized for such use cases? [image] [image]

1. Reslice the original volume along a curve using Endoscopy module
