Generate the contours

Description

It generates a contours object from the definition of the VOIs. The VOIs are box-shaped an are defined in a data.frame with columns: x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max, z_min, z_max, voi. Each row correspond to a VOI. It needs, to identify the slices (axial slices), a reference CT. Alternatively the z vector can be used directly. Optionally a tissue name can be supplied. Note: if a box-shaped voulume is defined inside another one and has the same name (voi tag) of the latter, then the resulting volume will be a box with an hole inside.

Usage

generate.contours(contours.df, CT = NULL, z = NULL,
  tissue = "R3PIDEd0.2v0+MKM")

Arguments

contours.df	the dataframe in which the definition of the volumes is stored.
CT	a CT object.
z	a vector that specifies the z of the axial planes.
tissue	the tissue name.

Value

a contours object
