Generate digitally reconstructed radiograph from 3DCT

You can install extensions using Extensions Manager.

There are several methods, they have all pros and cons, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs:

  • Using volume rendering module: magnitudes faster than any other methods, projection is set up by the 3D view’s camera, you can control properties of the X-ray, materials, and processing in the imaging system using a transfer function
  • SlicerRT: new DRR module in SlicerRT, projection parameters are set up using beams, see above for details
  • Thick slab reformatting using “mean” slab mode: projection parameters uses slice position and normal, can only compute parallel projection, see topic and script for details
  • SlicerDRR generator: I don’t know much about this one, you need to contact the author if you have any questions
