Maybe apply this suggestion:

> [@RegionOfInterestImageFilter to extract image slice from volume](https://discourse.itk.org/t/regionofinterestimagefilter-to-extract-image-slice-from-volume/4787/6):

> Another option to be aware of: a) use itk.xarray\_from\_image, b) do the slicing with pandas/numpy syntax, c) then itk.image\_from\_xarray. This may be more convenient while preserving spatial metadata.
