I want to determine changes in a very specific area of an MRI over time. Specifically, I want to draw a line through an organ and have it take the same line from all 300 frames in a data set and display them side-by-side. Is this possible in Slicer?

You can extract a line profile of a 3D volume using “Line Profile” module (in Sandbox extension). If you have a time sequence of 300 frames then you need to do some Python scripting (see relevant examples [here](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/script_repository.html#browse-a-sequence-and-access-currently-displayed-nodes)).

Thank you, Dr. Lasso!
