The mitkExtractImageFilter uses internally the itk::ExtractImageFilter. This filter has a bug at line 203. Here the filter tries to collapse the direction matrix and copy the non-collapsed part of the input to the output. The problem here is a small index error. For a part of the matrix the collapsed part is taken from the input which leads for example to following matrix:
0 0
0 1
The determinant of this matrix will be 0 and therefore following exception is thrown: ExtractImageFilter(0x40f5170): Invalid submatrix extracted for collapsed direction.
I will file a bug for ITK. But for now I will add a patch for ITK which will solve the problem.
