title: Simple Region Growing Segmentation

category: Segmentation

description: A simple region growing segmentation algorithm based on intensity statistics. To create a list of fiducials (Seeds) for this algorithm, click on the tool bar icon of an arrow pointing to a starburst fiducial to enter the ‘place a new object mode’ and then use the fiducials module. This module uses the Slicer Command Line Interface (CLI) and the ITK filters CurvatureFlowImageFilter and ConfidenceConnectedImageFilter.

Inputs:

    [Mandatory]

    [Optional]
    args: (a string)
            Additional parameters to the command
    environ: (a dictionary with keys which are a value of type 'str' and with values which
             are a value of type 'str', nipype default value: {})
            Environment variables
    ignore_exception: (a boolean, nipype default value: False)
            Print an error message instead of throwing an exception in case the interface fails to
            run
    inputVolume: (an existing file name)
            Input volume to be filtered
    iterations: (an integer)
            Number of iterations of region growing
    labelvalue: (an integer)
            The integer value (0-255) to use for the segmentation results. This will determine the
            color of the segmentation that will be generated by the Region growing algorithm
    multiplier: (a float)
            Number of standard deviations to include in intensity model
    neighborhood: (an integer)
            The radius of the neighborhood over which to calculate intensity model
    outputVolume: (a boolean or a file name)
            Output filtered
    seed: (a list of from 3 to 3 items which are a float)
            Seed point(s) for region growing
    smoothingIterations: (an integer)
            Number of smoothing iterations
    timestep: (a float)
            Timestep for curvature flow

Outputs:

    outputVolume: (an existing file name)
            Output filtered
