**'''Modify All Ruler Nodes panel'''
 
−
***Select the visibility of all ruler nodes. Set all rulers invisible or set all rulers visible.
 
−
***Delete all ruler nodes from the scene.
 
−
***Generate Report: saves basic information about all rulers in the scene to a file on disk (distance, position, annotation). If a CSV (comma separated value) format is chosen, the information is separated by commas, if .txt is chosen, the information is separated by tabs.
 
−
**'''Modify Selected Ruler Node panel'''
 
−
***Ruler Node Select: create a new ruler node, show the parameters of a previously created ruler node, delete or rename a ruler node
 
−
***Distance: the distance between the end points of the current ruler, updated as the end points move.
 
−
***The next two rows of icons correspond to the two end points:
 
−
****End Point Color: set the color used to show the ruler end point
 
−
****Constraint: constrain the motion of the ruler end point to be on the surface of the selected model or volume slice plane. In order to get the end points of the ruler to move along a selected model surface, you currently need to rotate the view so that the handle is rendered on top of the model, the next click will snap it to the model surface. If you move the model or slice plane, the measurement point won't move with it, the constraint only works when moving the end point handle. If you make the model or slice invisible, the end point cannot be moved, as the constraint will always be false.
 
−
****Position: ruler end point positions, updates when the ruler handles are moved in 3D or 2D, and can be used to update the end points by typing in a value.

===Loading and Saving Lists===
 
  
−
Fiducial lists can be written out to disk using the File menu, Save option. The files can be loaded into Slicer via the File menu, Add Data interface.
 
  
−
Fiducial list files are plain text, with the extension ''fcvs''.
 
  
−
An example file:
 
  
−
<pre>
 
−
# Fiducial List file /home/username/L.fcsv
 
−
# name = L
 
−
# numPoints = 5
 
−
# symbolScale = 5.5
 
−
# symbolType = 11
 
−
# visibility = 1
 
−
# textScale = 12.5
 
−
# color = 0.4,1,1
 
−
# selectedColor = 0.807843,0.560784,1
 
−
# opacity = 1
 
−
# ambient = 0
 
−
# diffuse = 1
 
−
# specular = 0
 
−
# power = 1
 
−
# locked = 0

Lines are commented out by placing a hash mark (#) at the beginning of the line. There is an optional header section that lists display options. If no display options are included, the defaults are used when the list is read into Slicer. The header line formats follow the description of the point format.
 
  
−
The points are listed one per line in the following format:

Module Description

The miAnnotation Module is designed for users to annotate medical images to capture information latent in the scans.

Usage

Eight (8) different types of annotations can be created in the following ways:

  • Region Of Interest (ROI): Click on the ROI Icon MiAnnotation-ROI.jpg on the middle panel of the miAnnotation main panel, a new ROI annotation will then be created on the right-hand-side 3D view. There are seven (7) control points on the ROI annotation for the user to interact with. The six (6) control points located on the six surface of the ROI box can be dragged using mouse left-button to enlarge or shrink the box. The one (1) control point located in the center of the box can be dragged using mouse left-button to relocate the box in the 3D view. A new ROI entry will also be created in the annotation table. The properties of the ROI annotation can be edited by clicking the edit icon MiAnnotation-EditROI.jpg in the annotation table.
  • Text: Click on the text Icon MiAnnotation-text.jpg on the middle panel of the miAnnotation main panel, a new text annotation will then be created on the right-hand-side 3D view. The default location of the new text annotation is on the bottom left corner of the viewer. The user can move the text annotation to any other locations by clicking and dragging the text annotation using the mouse middle-button. A new text entry will also be created in the annotation table. The content of the text annotation can be edited from the entry in the annotation table. The properties of the text annotation can be edited by clicking the edit icon MiAnnotation-EditText.jpg in the annotation table.
  • Ruler: Click on the ruler Icon MiAnnotation-ruler.jpg on the middle panel of the miAnnotation main panel, a new ruler annotation will then be created on the right-hand-side 3D view. The default location of the new ruler annotation is in the middle of the viewer spanned from left to right. The user can click and drag any one of the two control points of the ruler annotation to interact with it. A new ruler entry will also be created in the annotation table. The value of the ruler measurement can be automatically updated when the user interact with the ruler. The properties of the ruler annotation can be edited by clicking the edit icon MiAnnotation-EditRuler.jpg in the annotation table.
  • Angle: Click on the angle Icon MiAnnotation-angle.jpg on the middle panel of the miAnnotation main panel, a new angle annotation will then be initialized on the right-hand-side 3D view. The users are required to manually click three (3) times in the 3D viewer using mouse left-button to create the real angle annotation. After creating the angle annotation, the user can click and drag any one of the three control points of the angle annotation to interact with it. A new angle entry will also be created in the annotation table. The value of the angle measurement can be automatically updated when the user interact with the angle. The properties of the annotation can be edited by clicking the edit icon MiAnnotation-EditAngle.jpg in the annotation table.
  • Fiducial: Click on the fiducial Icon MiAnnotation-point.jpg on the middle panel of the miAnnotation main panel, then the users are required to manually click in any of the 2D viewers using mouse left-button to create a new fiducial annotation. The new annotation will also be displayed in the 3D viewer. After creating the annotation, the user can click and drag it to interact with it. A new fiducial entry will also be created in the annotation table. The properties of the annotation can be edited by clicking the edit icon MiAnnotation-EditPoint.jpg in the annotation table.
  • Bidimensional Lines: Click on the bidimensional lines Icon MiAnnotation-Polyline.jpg on the middle panel of the miAnnotation main panel, then the users are required to manually click in the 3D viewers using mouse left-button to create two lines. These two lines are automatically orthogonal. After creating the annotation, the user can click and drag any of the four control points to interact with it. A new bidimensional line entry will also be created in the annotation table. The properties of the annotation can be edited by clicking the edit icon MiAnnotation-EditPolyline.jpg in the annotation table.
  • Spline: Click on the spline Icon MiAnnotation-Spline.jpg on the middle panel of the miAnnotation main panel, then a new spline annotation point is created right in the center of the 3d viewer. The users are able to manually click and drag the spline point using mouse left-button to other locations in the 3D viewer. Up to five (5) points can be clicked and dragged from the initial location of the spline annotation. After creating the annotation, the user can click and drag any of the five control points to form different splines to fit their needs. Or the user can click and drag the entire spline annotation to move it as a whole. A new spline entry will also be created in the annotation table. The properties of the annotation can be edited by clicking the edit icon MiAnnotation-EditSpline.jpg in the annotation table.
  • Sticky Note: Click on the stick note Icon MiAnnotation-Note.jpg on the middle panel of the miAnnotation main panel, then a new stick note is created. There are no displays of the note in any of the 2D or 3D viewers. After creating the annotation, a new sticky note entry will be created in the annotation table. The properties of the annotation can be edited by clicking the edit icon MiAnnotation-EditNote.jpg in the annotation table.

Use Cases, Examples

This module is especially appropriate for these use cases:

  • Use Case 1: This module is useful for basic measurements of volume, area, length, angle.
  • Use Case 2: Use eight different annotations to annotate medical images.

Development

Notes from the Developer(s)

miAnnotation is not part of Slicer3.6. To use the module, you have to use the trunk version of the Slicer3. See the build instructions.

Dependencies

Fiducials and Measurements Modules are currently needed. Later these will be integrated into a unified Annotations module.
