ITK 坐标系

With regard to the coordinate of medical image, we use two types of orientation to represent the direction.

Coordinate_systems
orientimagefilter
orientterms
LPS
in ITK, it can also be represented as RAI

RAS (can also be LIP)

    itk::OrientImageFilter<ImageType, ImageType>::Pointer orientationFilter = itk::OrientImageFilter<ImageType, ImageType>::New();
    orientationFilter->UseImageDirectionOn();
    orientationFilter->SetDesiredCoordinateOrientation(itk::SpatialOrientation::ITK_COORDINATE_ORIENTATION_RAI);
    orientationFilter->SetInput(reader->GetOutput());
    orientationFilter->Update();

so, the snippet of code is to convert to LPS (itk is RAI) orientation.
