Thank you for the information. My knowledge of using 3D Slicer is limited as I am learning information, and I appreciate your time and assistance. If using data with isotropic spacing for better resolution images is the better way to analyze 3D volumes, are there methods for obtaining this type of data without understanding computer programming?

Would anyone be able to explain or provide a source that explains how to complete the crop volume module method that was mentioned?

> Create a high-resolution isotropic volume from any of the input volumes, using Crop volume module. Then create a segmentation node using this isotropic volume as master volume. After this you can switch between master volumes - the segmentation node’s internal binary labelmap representation will remain high-resolution and isotropic.

Thank you,  
Jacob
