Convert vessel centerline model to image volume

Hi all,

Is there a way to convert a 3D vessel centerline model into a 3D image volume? I segmented out the vascular centerline using 3D Slicer but I want to convert it into 3D image volume so that I could use use it in python as 3D array.
Thanks a lot.

You can access the centerline point positions from Python using slicer.util.arrayFromModelPoints().

To generate an image volume, you can create a tube model using “Markups to model” extension, import the generated model to a segmentation node, then export the segmentation to a labelmap volume node.

Hi @lassoan, I appreciate your answer. But it seems that there’s something wrong.

As you can see the endpoints of these lines are connected in the generated model by “Markups to model” extension. But this is not I wanted. Did I miss something?
