I already have a series of DICOM images as CT of verts, I read it with vtkDICOMReader.
And use volume ray cast to transform as 3D image.
Now I need to split each vert by plane, and get slice of 3 dimensions.
How can I do that?

Are you try to say to do multi planar reconstruction ? If you do, you can find several documentation regarding this, here is a good one: [https://github.com/srinivasrvaidya/Multi-Planar-Reconstruction-using-VTK/blob/master/MPR/src/slicer.py](https://github.com/srinivasrvaidya/Multi-Planar-Reconstruction-using-VTK/blob/master/MPR/src/slicer.py)
Of course, it’s in Python, but you can easily translate it in C++ if you wish.

I’m sorry for my bad expression.
I know how to slice actually.
What I want to ask is “How to split imagedata into more object, I have plane data from normals and origins of normals”

Hey Guys!!
I am not clip my volume with two vtkPlane,
And new question is coming, The origin of this volume still not change.
That is weird to rotate my result.
**Hot set origin to the center of the part I clipped??**

With _vtkObject-\>SetOutputOrigin(…)_
P.S. See also this point: [vtkImageReslice Output Appears to be "Shifted Up and to the Left" by one Pixel](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/vtkimagereslice-output-appears-to-be-shifted-up-and-to-the-left-by-one-pixel/3884/4)

Thanks!
But a new question comes, the slice I need is the area after clipping.
I’m trying to get use position of imagedata between the area.
then get the slice.
Is there any better way??
