Combine Split Volumes

Combines a number of split sub-volumes along the Z direction.

Input

A 3D volume set with multiple sub volumes. Optionally, a second image set with sparse slices.

Output

A new 3D volume that combines the individual sub volumes into one and has the gaps in-between filled.

Description

This algorithm takes a set of two or more volumes that can be combined along the Z dimension without interpolation. The typical use case is that of missing slices in a DICOM folder, where a single volume is needed nevertheless for image processing. The missing areas will be zero-filled or linearly interpolated based on the maxGapToFill parameter. Optionally, another image set with loose slices may be provided, that are also filled in. Last but not least, if only individual slices are available and not a single volume, the algorithm also will work if those slices are provided as the first parameter (volume).
