Lots of Slicer components use ITK. You can have a look at modules in Modules\CLI or Libs\vtkITK library for examples.

I have checked the both folders but I don’t find the ITK filters that i want apply. However I find ITK-build folder with ITK solution.

I want use the following ITK filters in a c++ loadable module : itk::BinaryFillholeImageFilter and \*itkBinaryContourImageFilter . what I must do to be able to add :  
\*#include \<itkBinaryContourImageFilter.h\> and  
#include “itkBinaryFillholeImageFilter.h” in my c++ loadable module.

Thank’s in advance

Slicer downloads and builds entire ITK. You can include ITK headers and link ITK libraries to your modules as shown in the examples I linked above.
