Conversation
Cornerstone3D computes ROI statistics for the annotation tools but has never defined which voxels those statistics cover, so each tool improvised and none was correct in an oblique view. This adds the shared, orientation-independent iterator that Rule M of #2889 specifies, plus the plane thickness the rule depends on. Rule M: a voxel belongs to an area annotation when its centre lies within (T + T_v) / 2 of the annotation plane along the normal, and its projection along the normal onto that plane falls inside the 2D shape. T is the annotation's own thickness, T_v the voxel thickness along the normal. The viewport slab thickness never appears, so statistics cannot change because somebody zoomed, resized a canvas or thickened a slab. The depth half of the rule is exactly linear in the integer voxel indices - depth(p) = p . g + c0 with g = M-transpose n - so the qualifying voxels along any one axis form a closed-form interval. The iterator therefore emits exact integer runs rather than testing voxels, nesting depth outermost and in-plane runs innermost so a shape's spans can be intersected with the depth interval. Cost is proportional to the voxels emitted plus the rows touched, not to the volume of a bounding box, and it is exact for every orientation. Also adds PlaneRestriction.thickness, the full geometric thickness in mm that carries T on a view reference, and unifies the depth half of Rule D onto a shared helper. When a reference records no thickness the display test falls back to its historical exact-plane behaviour, so existing annotations are unaffected. Two defects that this code depends on are fixed here: - Viewport.getViewReference passed target.planeRestriction to updatePlaneRestriction, which expects the whole reference. A PlaneRestriction structurally satisfies the all-optional ViewReference, so it type checked but built a nested planeRestriction.planeRestriction and mutated that, silently discarding the point-derived in-plane vectors on legacy viewports. - updatePlaneRestriction tested collinearity one-sided, so an anti-parallel candidate was accepted as a second in-plane vector despite being collinear. Verified by a brute-force reference implementation of Rule M that visits every voxel and applies the predicates literally; the fast iterator must return an identical set. Covered at oblique angles from 1 to 89 degrees, anisotropic spacing, rotated direction matrices, thick slabs, clipped and empty results, and both column-axis choices, with a no-duplicates assertion throughout.

Adds the four plane-anchored shapes the annotation tools need, each as an exact run provider for iterateVoxelsInSlab: an ellipse in the plane, an ellipsoid reaching out of it, a rectangle in the plane, a box reaching out of it, and a contour prism. These are the reusable pieces the follow-up PRs consume - the freehand oblique fix needs the contour, and CircleROI, EllipticalROI, RectangleROI and the StartEndThreshold tools need the rest. Ellipse and rectangle are specified identically - a major axis orientation vector plus extents, with an optional third extent promoting the flat shape to a solid - so the two are interchangeable. A contour takes a depth and a world coordinate outline. All four are exact rather than approximate, from one observation: for a fixed outer and row index the voxel centre traces a straight line in the column index, and so does its projection onto the annotation plane. Every shape test therefore collapses to a one-dimensional intersection in the column index - a quadratic for the ellipse and ellipsoid, intersected half spaces for the rectangle and box, sorted crossings for the contour. No voxel is ever tested individually, and a non-convex contour naturally yields the exact-multiple runs the iterator already supports. Each shape exposes containsPoint as its definition alongside getRuns as the optimisation, mirroring how the brute-force reference relates to the iterator. The tests require the two to select identical voxels, and require both to match the reference implementation, across axis-aligned and oblique orientations, anisotropic spacing and rotated direction matrices. Boundary handling needed care and is now uniform: a voxel centre lying on a shape outline is inside it. Three separate cases forced this. - A circle of radius 5 on an integer grid puts centres exactly on its outline at (5, 0) and at every Pythagorean point such as (3, 4). containsPoint sums squares and can land a hair above 1 while getRuns solves for roots and lands exactly on 5, so both now compare against a boundary widened by a relative epsilon. - A contour's interior is even-odd, but containsPoint casts a ray along one plane axis while getRuns intersects a line along whichever direction the column axis projects to. Even-odd is direction independent away from the boundary, but the two tie rules degenerate at different geometry, so a rectangular contour drawn on voxel boundaries kept a row at one end of the shape and dropped it at the other. - An outline edge running along a run line is invisible to the crossing test, since both endpoints sit on the same side of a line they are on. Such edges and any vertex touching the line now contribute their extent directly, and all contributions are merged so no voxel is emitted twice. Ref: #2889 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
createContourShape took a single ring, so an annulus could not be expressed. Worse, the obvious workaround failed silently: flattening two rings into one array inserts an edge from the end of the first to the start of the second, and the probe measured 222 voxels where the annulus holds 264 - the hole was excluded but a spurious wedge went with it. No error, just a different shape. polyline now accepts either a single ring or an array of rings. Interior is even-odd over every edge of every ring, with parity accumulated across rings rather than per ring, so a hole ring flips its interior back to outside. That one rule gives holes, nesting to any depth - a ring inside a hole is solid again - and disjoint rings as separate regions, with no dependence on winding direction. Crossings are gathered into a single sorted list across all rings, so pairing consecutive crossings remains exactly even-odd: a hole ring's two crossings close the interval its surrounding ring opened. Also fills a gap in the run coverage. Multiple runs per row were only tested for two runs, via a U-shaped outline. Adds a three-toothed comb asserting the exact runs for a row through the teeth, for a row through the bar, and for a row clear of the shape, rather than only that some row yields at least two. Boundary handling is unchanged and applies to hole outlines too: a voxel centre on any outline is inside the shape, so the centres lying on a hole's own outline stay in.

Replaces the canvas-space rasterizer with `iterateVoxelsInSlab` and `createContourShape` from cornerstonejs#2893, so voxel selection is driven by the annotation's own plane, normal and thickness rather than by the viewport. The canvas approach fixed the oblique crash but left three problems that no amount of step tuning reaches. Nearest-neighbour sampling cannot cover an integer lattice under rotation. At a 45 degree in-plane oblique, samples marching along (0.707, 0.707) in IJK round to (0,0), (1,1), (2,2) and never visit (1,0) or (0,1). Which voxels are skipped depends on the camera's sub-pixel phase, so a half-pixel pan changed the reported max. `getCanvasVoxelSamplingStep` also measured its derivative with `transformWorldToIndex`, which rounds, so the step was quantized on top. The sampled set was a function of zoom, pan, canvas size and devicePixelRatio, so the same annotation over the same data reported a different mean depending on how it happened to be displayed when statistics were recomputed. Every sample lay on the focal plane, so the result was always one voxel thick. A contour drawn on a 1 mm NM slice, measured against a CT reconstructed at 0.5 mm in the same orientation, must cover two CT voxels back to back. That is a missing dimension, not a tuning parameter. Rule M of cornerstonejs#2889 settles all three: a voxel belongs to the annotation when its centre is within (T + T_v) / 2 of the annotation plane along the normal and its projection onto that plane is inside the contour. The iterator solves the depth half in closed form and the contour shape yields exact in-plane runs, so no voxel is tested individually and oblique is the general case rather than a special one. This is also faster in the non-oblique case it replaces. Cost is proportional to the voxels selected plus the rows touched, not to canvas area, so an ROI magnified 8x costs what it costs at fit-to-window instead of roughly 64 times as much - and the old path additionally paid a `canvasToWorld` per sample, each toggling vtk camera state. `sampleVoxelsFromCanvas` is removed rather than left unused: it is the rejected approach, it was exported from the package index, and its early return on `!storePointData` skipped `statsCallback` too. Since `storePointData` defaults to false, every freehand ROI reported mean and stdDev as NaN, min as Infinity and count as 0. The replacement accumulates statistics unconditionally and only makes the returned point list conditional; a test covers it. `getIntersectionIterator` and `getScanlineIntersections` are kept. They are generic 2D polyline rasterizers with their own tests and are independent of voxel selection, so whether to keep them is a separate call.

Correct the columnAxis default described in the doc comment.
The code sets columnAxis = remaining[0], which is the lower-numbered non-outer axis. For an acquisition-orientation volume outerAxis is 2, remaining is [0, 1], so columnAxis is 0 (i) and rowAxis is 1 (j). That matches the second half of the sentence, but not "the higher-numbered one".

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
This test does not cover an empty selection.
The disc is centred on planePoint, so the voxel centre at (4, 4, 4) is at distance 0 and falls inside radius 0.1. The assertion of length 1 is correct, but the name states the opposite, and the empty in-plane result stays untested. The only empty case covered is the plane outside the volume at lines 169-177, which never reaches a shape predicate.
Offset the disc so no voxel centre falls inside it, and assert an empty result.

Implements the core half of #2889: a definition of which voxels an area annotation covers, and a shared iterator that evaluates it exactly for any orientation.
This is core primitives only. No annotation tool consumes the iterator yet — see What this does not do before reviewing for behaviour change. Nothing in
packages/toolsis touched, and no reported measurement changes as a result of this PR.Why
Cornerstone3D has always computed ROI statistics for the annotation tools, but never defined which voxels those statistics cover. Each tool improvised its own traversal, and none was correct in an oblique view. The concrete failure modes, in the tools as they stand today:
(0.707, 0.707)in IJK round to(0,0), (1,1), (2,2)…and never visit(1,0)or(0,1). Which voxels get skipped depends on the camera's sub-pixel phase, so a half-pixel pan changes the reported max.The rules
Both are stated normatively in #2889.
Rule M (voxel membership). A voxel belongs to an area annotation when its centre lies within
(T + T_v) / 2of the annotation plane along the normal, and its projection along the normal onto that plane falls inside the 2D shape.Tis the annotation's own thickness;T_vis the voxel thickness along the normal.The viewport slab thickness
tdoes not appear in Rule M. That is the point: statistics cannot change because someone zoomed, resized a canvas, or thickened a slab.Rule D (display). A plane is visible in a viewport when the distance from its point to the focal point along the normal is within
(t + T) / 2. Cross-modality consequences here are intended — an annotation on one thick NM slice may legitimately appear on two thin CT slices, and one spanning two CT slices may appear on a single NM slice.Where
Tcomes from. A new annotation inheritsTonce, at creation, from the slab thickness of the viewport it was drawn in (Viewport.getReferenceThickness, overridden inBaseVolumeViewport). From then on it belongs to the annotation. When a reference records no thickness,Tfalls back to one voxel along the normal — which is what stack viewports and every annotation predating this field will use, so existing annotations are unaffected.Note this is not a contradiction of Rule M's independence from
t: the slab is read once when the reference is created, never when statistics are recomputed.How the iterator stays exact and cheap
The depth half of Rule M is exactly linear in the integer voxel indices —
depth(p) = p · g + c₀withg = Mᵀn— so the qualifying voxels along any one axis form a closed-form interval. The iterator emits exact integer runs rather than testing voxels, nesting depth outermost and in-plane runs innermost so a shape's spans intersect directly with the depth interval.Cost is proportional to the voxels emitted plus the rows touched, not to the volume of a bounding box.
The same collapse makes the shapes exact. For a fixed outer and row index, a voxel centre traces a straight line in the column index, and so does its projection onto the annotation plane — so every shape test reduces to a one-dimensional intersection in the column index: a quadratic for the ellipse and ellipsoid, intersected half-spaces for the rectangle and box, sorted crossings for the contour. No voxel is ever tested individually, and a non-convex contour naturally yields the exact multiple runs the iterator already supports.

Uniform across all shapes: a voxel centre lying on a shape outline is inside it. Three independent cases forced this, and they are worth knowing about when reviewing:
(5, 0)and at every Pythagorean point such as(3, 4).containsPointsums squares and can land a hair above 1 whilegetRunssolves for roots and lands exactly on 5, so both compare against a boundary widened by a relative epsilon.containsPointcasts a ray along one plane axis whilegetRunsintersects a line along whichever direction the column axis projects to. Even-odd is direction-independent away from the boundary, but the two tie rules degenerate at different geometry — a rectangular contour drawn on voxel boundaries kept a row at one end and dropped it at the other.Two incidental defects fixed
Both are depended on by this code, which is why they are here rather than in a separate PR.
Viewport.getViewReferencepassedtarget.planeRestrictiontoupdatePlaneRestriction, which expects the whole reference and doesreference.planeRestriction ||= …. APlaneRestrictionstructurally satisfies the all-optionalViewReference, so this type checked but built a nestedplaneRestriction.planeRestrictionand mutated that, silently discarding the point-derived in-plane vectors on legacy viewports.updatePlaneRestrictiontested collinearity one-sided. An anti-parallel candidate has a dot product of about-length, which passes an unsigned comparison while being just as collinear as a parallel one, so a symmetric polyline that doubles back on itself yielded a second "in-plane vector" that pinned no orientation at all.Verification
A brute-force reference implementation of Rule M visits every voxel and applies the predicates literally; the fast iterator must return an identical set. Coverage includes oblique angles from 1° to 89°, anisotropic spacing, rotated direction matrices, thick slabs, clipped and empty results, and both column-axis choices, with a no-duplicates assertion throughout.

Stated explicitly so review scope is clear:
CircleROITool,EllipticalROITool,RectangleROITool,PlanarFreehandROITooland the StartEndThreshold tools all still use their existing traversals. The oblique statistics bug is therefore not yet fixed by this PR — this is the foundation those follow-ups consume.packages/toolsis touched. When the tools do convert, statistics will change for existing annotations — that is the intent — and that migration story needs its own discussion.docs/docs/concepts/annotations/voxel-statistics.mddoes not exist yet.voxelSlab/index.tscites it as normative alongside [Feature Request] Define voxel-relative annotation statistics and implement a shared oblique-capable voxel iterator #2889.
