A new module - “Segment cross-section area” - has been added to Slicer. It can compute cross-sectional area of segmented structures along a chosen axis direction. Results are available both as a table and can be shown in a plot, too. Short demo video:

For now, the module is available by installing “Sandbox” extension in the extension manager in a recent 3D Slicer Preview Release.

If you have any comments and suggestions then please post it here.
