Slicer version: 4.10.2 How to use the slicer to do free-angle cross-section, not only the three anatomy planes? How could I get the cross-section like the several cross-sections in blue planes? [Untitled] Thank you very much!

There are many options, for example: Option A: Reformat module can be used to adjust angles of slice views using sliders Option B: Show reslice widget in slice view and then adjust reslice plane in 3D views: [image] Option C: Use recent Slicer preview release, show slice intersections, and use…

Hi Andras, Thank you very much for your help! Could you please teach me which python package and API should I use to write python codes for getting multiple cross-sections automatically as desired?

I’m not sure what you mean. Would you like to show a number of slice views in a 3D view, rotated by different angles? What is the clinical application? Would you like to compute Cobb angle? Reslice the image along the spinal chord curve? …?

I would like to write codes in python, to get cross-sections just like the figure in my first post above. I.e., for each vertebra, I would like to get four cross-sections. Assume I assign an array of starting points for each vertebra along with four rotation angles, how can I write python codes to…

You can switch to a layout that has at least as many slice views as you need (e.g., “Four over four” built-in layout, or a custom layout that you specify), set the slice view positions/orientations by modifying the matrix returned by sliceNode.GetSliceToRAS(), and show the slice views in 3D. You can…

Hi Iassoan, I am able to manually control the reformat widget now. However, not accurate. Could you please let me know what is the python function to program the position and angle of anatomy plane reformat widget? Thank you very much!

As I wrote above, there are many examples of slice manipulations in the script repository, see for example, this .

Hi Iassoan, I found a existing module “Reformat”, which can do exactly what I want. However, I was not able to find the source file in the Slicer installation folder. I did a lot of search locally on the disk, and still cannot find the module find, even though I can run the module. :innocent: It…

You can find all the source files in the same folder. It is a C++ module, which is compiled into a dynamically loadable library. The source files are not used at runtime and so they are not included in the install package.

Thank you for your help, Iassoan! I figured out how to do it. :wink: One last question, any link that demonstrated how to debug the C++ codes with Slicer API?
