Slicer / XND Design and Engineering Planning
Logistics
- Confirmed date: Tuesday, December 15 (11-4pm), 2009
- Location: WUSTL Campus, East Building
Goals
The purpose of this meeting is to agree upon an engineering approach and work on interface/interaction design for integrating a future version of XNATDesktop and FileServer into Slicer. The tool is envisioned as an OsiriX-like interface that would be raised when a user selects File->Import ->Load ->Export ->Save from Slicer. It can also operate as a standalone tool, to browse, preview, mark-up remote or local datasets -- and to launch Slicer to view a selected dataset or scene. Issues to consider:
Design
- Review initial mockups, consider them against engineering practicalities
- Agree upon "bare-bones" presentation skeleton for functionality (first pass).
- Collaboration plan for merging design and engineering
Engineering
- How to leverage existing XND codes
- Java QT? -- Jambi?
- PACS interaction
Deliverables
- Report on all issues above
- Propose a timeline to be reviewed by Dan, Steve, Ron
Questions
- When we search for all MRML files, or all MRML files within a project on XNAT, what do we need to know about the returned query results?
- Ron would like thumbnails generated at scene-Save for the scene as-is and for each scene snapshot.
- May want to know the data files referenced by the scene file?
- Do we want to know what the scene tree looks like?
- want Separate viewer for MRML files? (tree-view like that in Slicer?)
- useful to have rudimentary DCOM db structure-like catalog in mrml file?
- We NEED a sensible way for the layout to respond to content types / data formats that admit or do not admit thumbnails and previews.
- Keep things in the same window (no popups)
- Don't have empty frames that may lead to confusion (at first glance) that there's an error
- DICOM files may have thumbnails and previews
- NRRD files: will they have thumbnails and previews?
- MRML files: will have thumbnails but no previews.
- .vtk files: will have no thumbnails and no previews.
- random associated data -- txt files, etc. no thumbnails and no previews
- Should XND/fileserver implement SCP/SCU?
- DICOM listener
- DICOM query/retrieve
Ron requirements
Schedule
- Tues - Dec 15th
- 11:00-2:00 - Design and Engineering discussion: determine:
- scope of functionality & rough out compatible GUI skeleton
- existing functionality we can leverage
- extisting functionality that can be extended
- new functionality that should be developed
- confirm appropriate development tools (for logic & gui)
- 2:00-3:30 prioritize proposed functionality & timelines
- determine first-pass implementation goals & fit to timeline
- rough out design GUI skeleton for first-pass
- fit all proposed functionality & GUI extensions to timeline
- 3:30-4:00 - Decide on collaborative work strategy
- 11:00-2:00 - Design and Engineering discussion: determine:
Attendance
- We hope to keep this group small and tight for this first meeting:
- Mikhail Milchenko
- Wendy Plesniak
