Tracks the isoline starting from the startCell.

If this is not an iso-cell (i.e. the isoline intersects this cell) it just returns. One can optionally pass a map where to save all visited cells.

Sets a 3D interpolation function, an image size and voxel size and a fixed z-offset.

NOTE that this approach supports an axial scanning of the function only at the moment; if this class should scan in sagittal or coronal direction as well, some extra flag needs to be provided.
