Dear All:

Is there a simple way to reslice an image stack in an arbitrary (not  
orthogonal) orientation with ImageJ (or other free software)?

I am trying to create isotropic uniform random (IUR) or vertical  
uniform random (VUR) sections from a TIFF stack of CT data for  
stereological surface measurements with cycloids or a vertical spatial  
grid.

Practically speaking, the orientation of my samples during acquisition  
may be random enough. Segmentation and perimeter measurements would  
also work. However, I am approaching this as a learning experience, to  
compare different methods.

One facility on our campus has Amira, but even there, arbitrary re-
slicing apparently requires scripting, and I'd like be able to do this  
in my own lab.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Richard
