Hi All,

I have a use case where given a 3D dicom image, I wish to apply for the filters only on selected slices. For example if 3D image has depth of 52 slices I want to apply Segmentation filters only from slice number 20 to slice number 30. How can I create an image out of these 10 slices so that I can apply Segmentation only on new image created out of these 10 slices image.

Thanks,  
Jiten
