Hello,
I am trying to increase the slice thickness of a volume in one view/plane. The current volume features 0.3 mm slices in all three views/planes. I was hoping there was a way of creating a volume with 1 mm slices in the axial and 0.3-0.6 mm slices in coronal and sagittal.
I would normally use **crop volume** to achieve the opposite result, so I was wondering if there was a similar approach.
The motivation here is to test some datasets using MONAI Label. I just don’t have enough GPU to use the original volume 😅

ResampleScalarVolume will allow you to enter requested image spacing of output image and will resample based on that.
Try that first.

Thank you @muratmaga! I did not know this module existed.
