Circular Perimeter ROI  

This tool generates a ROI with the shape of a processed external contour. Additionally it is 
possible to cut out up to three different internal contours. This tool must have the result of 
a previously performed ‘External perimeter’ tool to define the external shape of the ROI. To 
cut out an internal contour from the ROI it is necessary to execute the tool ‘Internal Perime-
ter’ in a previous program step. 

Input Parameters 

01 = External perimeter step 

Refer to step number which executes the 
‘External perimeter‘.tool  

02 = Internal perimeter step A 

Refer to step number which executes the 
‘Internal perimeter‘tool to perform the first 
cut out. 

03 = Internal perimeter step B 

Refer to step number which executes the 
‘Internal perimeter‘tool to perform the 
second cut out. 

04 = Internal perimeter step C 

Refer to step number which executes the 
‘Internal perimeter‘tool to perform the third 
cut out. 

05 = Destination bank 

Image bank in which to display the resulting 
ROI. 

Returned Values 

01 = Error flag 

flag = 0   tool terminated correctly. 
flag = -1   an error occurred.  

Example 

 

Figure – Example of a ROI generated by an external contour with cut outs of three different 

internal contours.
