Volume cropping CT images using lung masks

[Vahdane (Vahdaneh Kiani)]

Hello,

I want to crop the lung CT image to lobe subregions by using lung masks. I have the masks, however, as far as I know, we can only crop the image to a rectangular shape in the crop volume module.

Thanks for your help in advance,
Vahdaneh

You can use the “Mask volume” tool in the Segment Editor to do exactly this.

You may need to install Segment Editor Extra Effects; I always have it installed and I don’t remember if the base Slicer has this tool or not.
