file.CT	the name of the CT file. The CT file (in PlanKIT format) is needed to properly reconstruc the 3D coordinates of the contours (alternatively to CT and z.CT)
CT	the CT object (alternatively to file.CT and z.CT)
z.CT	a vector for the z coordinates of the slices of the reference CT (alternatively to file.CT and CT)

Value

A contours dataframe consisting of:

id	index of the contours
polygon	index of the polygon
slice	index of the slice
x,y,z	x,y,z coordinates
