How do the coordinates in eclipse relate to coordinates in a parse dicom? #348

Open sama2689 opened 1 year ago

I noticed that the y coordinate in eclipse (the axial position along the patient) corresponds to the z coordinate in dicompyler core. Do I have this right? if so then the GetIsodosePoints command is actually going to need an input plane corresponding to a Y plane rather than a z plane. Have I understoof that correctly?

Yes, the Z coordinate axis represents the axial plane in dicompyler-core as it is based on DICOM. Eclipse is using IEC 1217 notation which labels it as the Y coordinate axis.

Hope that helps.
