- Line 496: Update _normalize_class_ids so an explicitly empty class-ID
container remains an empty selection rather than being converted to None;
preserve None for the unspecified/all-labels case, allowing the existing
empty-mask and fail_on_empty handling to apply.
- Around line 756-759: Handle missing spacing and orientation metadata in
DICOMSeriesToVolumeOperator before converting values with np.asarray or
constructing direction_matrix. Validate the relevant DICOMSeries properties for
None and raise the established missing-metadata error, while preserving the
existing row, column, depth mapping and spacing conventions.

Includes several patches to the STL conversion operator, as well as some enhancements and increased control over parameters.
Geometry Defects
Marching-cubes vertices are passed to SimpleITK in reversed index order
Where:
STLConverter.convert, the vertex loopMechanism:
sitk.GetImageFromArraymaps numpy axes(a0, a1, a2)to ITK index(i, j, k) = (a2, a1, a0). The App SDK array is(depth, row, col), so a SimpleITKcontinuous index is
(col, row, depth)— the reverse of whatmarching_cubesreturns.Passing them through unreversed transposes the mesh and applies the in-plane spacing to the
slice axis and vice versa.
Observed impact: for anisotropic cases (i.e. in-plane spacing differs from slice spacing), the STL could be stretched or compressed along the in-place and slice axes. The degree of stretching or compression depends on the anisotropy ratio between the depth and column spacing. For example, testing with the MONAI-provided abdominal CT series (204 SOP instances) with DHW =
[1.5, 0.789, 0.789]mm, the output STL columns are stretched by 1.5/0.789 = 1.901 and depth is compressed by 0.789/1.5 = 0.526. This results in an elongated, flattened STL (also seen in Issue #389):On isotropic data the scaling error vanishes, but the axis swap does not. The mapping
(x, y, z) → (z, y, x)has determinant −1, so the mesh is mirrored. A mirrored organstill looks like an organ in a standalone STL viewer, which is likely why this went
unnoticed, but it does not register against the source images.
Fix: reverse the index order before the transform:
This aligns the channel spacing, resulting in a geometrically accurate STL:
Image origin is never set
Where:
SpatialImage._load_datacallsSetSpacingandSetDirection, but neverSetOrigin.Mechanism: the SimpleITK origin defaults to
(0, 0, 0), so every vertex is translated bythe first slice's
ImagePositionPatient.Impact: meshes are never in patient coordinates. A standalone STL viewed on its own looks
correct, but it will not overlay on the source series, and it cannot legitimately carry a
FrameOfReferenceUIDif wrapped as a DICOM Encapsulated STL. This is visible when loading in STLs produced from the previous version of the operator as a segmentation in 3D Slicer:Fix: take the translation from the affine already present in the image metadata.
STLs are now aligned with the source DICOM series in 3D Slicer:
ITK direction matrix is built from rows instead of columns
Where:
SpatialImage._load_dataMechanism: an ITK direction matrix holds the physical directions of the index axes as its
columns. Stacking the three cosine triplets as rows produces the transpose, which for a
rotation is its inverse.
Impact: none for canonical axial
ImageOrientationPatient, where the matrix is theidentity and D = Dᵀ. For an oblique series the mesh is rotated by twice the tilt angle, about
the volume-corner origin rather than about the organ.
Fix:
Note the DICOM naming asymmetry when assigning the triplets:
ImageOrientationPatient[0:3]is the "row direction", meaning the direction of travel along a row, i.e. of increasing
column index (ITK x).
PixelSpacing[0]("adjacent row spacing") is the step along therow index (ITK y). The two "row" attributes refer to different axes.
Spacing tuple order does not match the array axes
Where:
STLConverter.convertMechanism: the spacing tuple is
(row, col, depth)while the array is(depth, row, col); the isotropic-resample loop pairs them positionally.Impact: the wrong axis is resampled to isotropic — the slice axis is left anisotropic
while an in-plane axis is upsampled by the anisotropy ratio for no benefit. Wasted memory and
runtime, and a lower-quality mesh. Final vertex coordinates are unaffected, since they are
rescaled back into source index space before the physical transform.
Fix: carry a spacing tuple ordered to match the array,
(depth, row, col).SetSpacinghas the same issue and should be
[col_ps, row_ps, depth_ps]in ITK(x, y, z)order,though this is a no-op wherever
PixelSpacing[0] == PixelSpacing[1].Class-Selection Defects
Class-filtered mask was being discarded
Where:
STLConverter.convertnew_ndais rebound to a resize of the unfiltered label array on the line after it isbuilt.
Impact:
class_idshas no effect.marching_cubes(level=0.5)on an integer label mapfinds the outer boundary of every non-zero label, so everything gets meshed. This is
masked in the bundled single-label example, where
keep_largest_connected_component=Truehas already binarised the array.
Fix:
resize_volume(new_nda, ...).Connected-component filter runs before the class filter
Where:
STLConverter.convertMechanism:
get_largest_ccreturns a 0/1 array, sonda == class_idis uniformly Falsefor any
class_id > 1.Impact, once B1 is fixed: any
class_idsother than 1 produces an empty mask andmarching_cubesraisesValueError: Surface level must be within volume data range,killing the fragment.
class_ids=[1]"succeeds" but returns the largest connected componentof the whole label map relabelled to 1 — on abdominal CT that is whichever organ is largest,
not label 1.
Additionally,
skimage.measure.labelgroups by equal value, so calling it on a multi-labelarray produces per-organ components rather than a binary component analysis.
Fix: filter to the requested classes first, then apply the CC filter per class, then
union. Applying it to the union is a distinct behaviour that silently discards organs.

step_size5 → 1, andallow_degenerate=False. A stride of 5 on the isotropic griddiscards small and thin structures and leaves degenerate triangles, so the mesh is often
not watertight and its enclosed volume is not meaningful. This meaningfully increases
output size; callers who prefer the old density can pass
step_size=5. Noteallow_degenerate=Falseis not exposed as a parameter — degenerate triangles are thereason the enclosed volume was previously unusable, so there is no reason to opt back in.

write_stlis retained as a standalone helper, sonumpy-stlremains an optionaldependency but is no longer used by
convert.Validation
For our CCHMC Liver-Spleen segmentation model, liver and spleen STLs were rasterised back onto the grid of the DICOM SEG it came from and compared voxel-for-voxel. To create analogous meshes to the DICOM SEGs, the following parameters were used to remove any smoothing:
The mesh is transformed into the SEG's voxel-index space first, so the target grid becomes a unit-spaced axis-aligned lattice and all oblique geometry is carried by the affine — nothing is resampled, and the comparison adds no interpolation error of its own.
Exactness is the correct expectation for an unsmoothed mesh: linear interpolation of a binary mask crosses 0.5 at voxel faces, and marching-cubes corner chamfering cuts through face midpoints, so neither ever crosses a voxel centre — which is where the rasterisation samples.
This test set include an oblique case (
ImageOrientationPatienttilted 2.046°), which produce perfect DICE, RVE %, and no offset.Summary by CodeRabbit
