[ITK-users] SliceBySliceImageFilter

[Jonas Teuwen]

Hi all,

I have 3D images on which I apply a collection of filters slice-by-slice. I
discovered the 'SliceBySliceImageFilter'.

The 2D filter contains things such as, after I read the 2D images:

typedef itk::FlatStructuringElement< Dimension >
StructuringElementType;
StructuringElementType::RadiusType radius;
radius.Fill( radiusValue );
StructuringElementType structuringElement =
StructuringElementType::Annulus(radius, outerRadius, false, false);

typedef itk::GrayscaleDilateImageFilter< FloatImageType, ImageType,
StructuringElementType > GrayscaleDilateImageFilterType;
GrayscaleDilateImageFilterType::Pointer dilateFilter =
GrayscaleDilateImageFilterType::New();
dilateFilter->SetInput( reader ->GetOutput() );
dilateFilter->SetKernel( structuringElement );
//dilateOutput = dilateFilter->GetOutput();

typedef itk::MinimumImageFilter <ImageType>
MinimumImageFilterType;
MinimumImageFilterType::Pointer minimumImageFilter
= MinimumImageFilterType::New ();
minimumImageFilter->SetInput(0, reader->GetOutput());
minimumImageFilter->SetInput(1, dilateFilter->GetOutput());
minimumImageFilter->Update();


then I have the output in minimumImageFilter->GetOutput();

However, when I apply SliceBySlice Image filter, my reader is the one of a
3D image, but the minimum filter also uses the reader->GetOutput() which
has to be in 2D.

How do approach this problem?

Best,
Jonas
