Hi, I am also interested in this problem in some way.
On a sequence of CT scans I select the region of
interest on each slice either manually with the
polygon selection tool, or with the Yawi2D plugin. I
need to copy and paste (or cut and paste) these
portions to the exact same locations on a new image
sequence, preferably without nudging with arrows from
pixel to pixel. Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks, Roland Makay
