I have 3D CT image of the head (DICOM image). It looks like the following.
I want to remove the imaging machine from the image. Is there any function in SimpleITK, which does this?
I saw a previous query similar to this and tried to implement it, but it did not work.
https://discourse.itk.org/t/how-to-remove-ct-bed-shadows-in-a-ct-image/5162
The remove_noise method showed the following error:
AttributeError: module 'morphology' has no attribute 'dilation'
Hello @debapriya,
There is no specific function in ITK/SimpleITK to remove the bed from the image. This usually involves multiple steps. I highly recommend you follow @lassoan’s advice and use the module from 3D Slicer.
p.s. The morphology module, is an skimage module, not ITK/SimpleITK. Its documentation does say it has a dilation method (the code in the other post did not include all the imports).
Thank you @zivy . I tried 3D Slicer using the GUI. In the Segment Editor module, I used scissors to remove the table. However, in the screenshot given in @lassoan 's advice, there is a separate module named Remove CT table (RED rectangle in the below screenshot), which I could not find. Please help.
The “Remove CT table” module is available in Slicer after you install the “Sandbox” extension.
Thank you @lassoan . I could remove CT Table using the Sandbox extension. However, I cannot save the resulting DICOM series. I am trying to do Export to Dicom, but I cannot proceed. The below screenshot shows where I am stuck.
There is no Start Export button to start the process.
You are using a very old Slicer version. Please update to the latest Slicer Stable Release. If you still have problems with DICOM export then please ask on the Slicer Forum.
Yes, it is working with the latest version. Thank you @lassoan
