We now want to view the CT images and the RTSTRUCT data together. The module `DicomImport` only allows to select one single object. In order to select more than one object, we use a `DicomImportExtraOutput` module. Select the CT series in the `DicomImport` module and the RTSTRUCT in the `DicomImportExtraOutput` module.

There are no names for the contours by default, we want to show the names for the contour to identify the segmented structure, so we need the `CSOLabelRenderer` module to add labels (e.g., 'Bladder', 'Prostate') next to each contour, helping to clearly identify the anatomy.

The `SoLUTEditor` module allows interactive editing of the LUT, while `SoView2DOverlay` module facilitates overlaying the modified image in a 2D scene.
