> Hello, I’d like to extract a 2D slice from a MRI NIfTI file. I believe the RegionOfInterestImageFilter function in itk will do the job: [https://itk.org/ITKExamples/src/Filtering/ImageGrid/ExtractRegionOfInterestInOneImage/Documentation.html](https://itk.org/ITKExamples/src/Filtering/ImageGrid/ExtractRegionOfInterestInOneImage/Documentation.html) However, I’m having difficulties using this function in Python. I’ve tried writing the code this way, without success: image\_slice11 = itk.region\_of\_interest\_filter(image, [512,512,1], [0,0,11]) Can you provide advice on how that should be implemented? B…
