Method Detail

getNumberOfSlabs

public final int getNumberOfSlabs()

Get the number of localization slabs.

Returns:

the number of localization slabs

getSlabThickness

public final double getSlabThickness(int i)

Get the localization slab thickness.

Returns:

localization slab thickness in mm.

getSlabOrientation

public final double[] getSlabOrientation(int i)

Get the localization slab orientation.

Returns:

the direction cosines of a normal vector perpendicular to the selection plane with respect to the patient as X, Y and Z components (LPH+)

getMidSlabPosition
