Hi Amir,
Please read the ITK Software Guide:
http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdfIn particular section 4.1.4 "Defining Origin and Spacing"
in pdf-page 71.
You may want to pay particualr attention to Figure 4.1.
You will find additional information on this topic on the
section on Image Resampling, Section 6.9.4, "Resample Image
Filter", pdf-page 254.
To quickly answer your question
* Origin are the physical coordinates of the index (0,0,0)
of your image. Origin is given in millimeters and it is
associating your image to a coordinate system in the real
physical world (where patients and organs really exist).
* Starting index : are the integer coordiniates of the first
pixel in an image. They are typically (0,0,0) in a 3D image,
but they may get other values when that image is the result
of extracting a Region of Interest (ROI) from a larger image.
When you think of the "Origin" you should think on the Patient
laying on the bed of a CT Scanner, and you should think in
physical units, such as millimeters or centimeters.
When you think of the "Starting Index" you should think on the
integer coordinates of a pixels on the grid used for sampling
the image.
Please read the sections of the ITK Software Guide
recommended above, and let us know if you have any
further questions.
Thanks
Luis
