Hi every one,  
How can I create sagittal ,coronal and axial views using series of DICOM images?  
I can read them but now I want to create different views.

What you may need is the ExtractImageFilter: [https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk\_1\_1ExtractImageFilter.html](https://itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1ExtractImageFilter.html)

It can collapse a 3D image into a 2D slice in desired dimension & index, which you can then display.

Thanks for the help! How could i do that when using my mouse (scrolling/clicking or smt like that) the window changes the slice to render? For example, if i keep pressing the left button and scrolling up, i would see the upper slices of my volume.  
Sorry for my english and thank u in advance 🙂

@Marco_Festugato this is more a user interaction or visualization question, and thus the answer belongs more to the VTK realm.
