Detailed Description

Gantry tilt analysis result.

Takes geometry information for two slices of a DICOM series and calculates whether these fit into an orthogonal block or not. If NOT, they can either be the result of an acquisition with gantry tilt OR completly broken by some shearing transformation.

Most calculations are done in the constructor, results can then be read via the remaining methods.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GantryTiltInformation() [1/2]

mitk::DicomSeriesReader::GantryTiltInformation::GantryTiltInformation ( )

Just so we can create empty instances for assigning results later.

Definition at line 17 of file mitkDicomSR_GantryTiltInformation.cpp.

◆ GantryTiltInformation() [2/2]

mitk::DicomSeriesReader::GantryTiltInformation::GantryTiltInformation	(	const Point3D &	origin1,
		const Point3D &	origin2,
		const Vector3D &	right,
		const Vector3D &	up,
		unsigned int	numberOfSlicesApart
	)

THE constructor, which does all the calculations.

Determining the amount of tilt is done by checking the distances of origin1 from planes through origin2. Two planes are considered:

normal vector along normal of slices (right x up): gives the slice distance
normal vector along orientation vector "up": gives the shift parallel to the plane orientation

The tilt angle can then be calculated from these distances

Parameters

origin1	origin of the first slice
origin2	origin of the second slice
right	right/up describe the orientatation of borth slices
up	right/up describe the orientatation of borth slices
numberOfSlicesApart	how many slices are the given origins apart (1 for neighboring slices)

◆ GetTiltCorrectedAdditionalSize()

double mitk::DicomSeriesReader::GantryTiltInformation::GetTiltCorrectedAdditionalSize ( ) const

The shift between first and last slice in mm.

Needed to resize an orthogonal image volume.

◆ IsRegularGantryTilt()

bool mitk::DicomSeriesReader::GantryTiltInformation::IsRegularGantryTilt ( ) const

Whether the shearing is a gantry tilt or more complicated.

Gantry tilt will only produce shifts in ONE orientation, not in both.

Since the correction code currently only coveres one tilt direction AND we don't know of medical images with two tilt directions, the loading code wants to check if our assumptions are true.
