DICOM RT-Struct to nii-mask. This is a naïve approach to rasterizing rt-struct to masks in nii format. If there's holes in your RT-Struct then this approach will most likely not work. The RT-Struct needs to be within the bounds of the slices of the original DICOM. Rasterization is done on a slice-by-slice basis, interpolation between slices is currently unsupported.
Interpolation of the mask between slices is currently unsupported. Send us an algorithm or a pull requests and we'll happly add it.
The DICOM and RT-Struct inputs need to be unzipped in a directory. Currently this is the only way to read the input files.
