Dear 3Dslicer community:
As congenital heart surgeon, I use massively 3dslicer (mostly MRI chest).
To work, I use always segmentation, it makes my work easier.
I don’t need perfect segmentation, otherwise it will take me too long, I just use simple technique
For example, I have a CT chest, I use
Segmentation threshold
Then I use hollow
With this, I have a segment that I can easily inspect on computer.
My question:
I want to delete specifically some part of the segment BUT without using the scissors:
I explain:
Some certainly know the old fashioned osirix:
In 3d there was instrument called bone delete 
In my volume I want to delete a part of the segment that is not in contact with the rest of the segment, for example, the ribs:
The function asked is:
only selective delete what is in continuation with the location where I click.
The advantage:
for example, it will massive speed up my rib/bone deletion in chest imaging.
Any idea?
Many thx
Always pleasure to word with 3dslicer and interact with the community!!
