• Location: 1249 Bolyston Street Boston
• Participants: Daniel, Dominique, Kilian, Nicole, Steve, Wendy

Agenda

• Demo by Daniel
• Current issues
  • Slicer QT debug problem (gdb works fine when python is not enabled - DH)
• 12:20 Review
  • GUI Design
  • Architecture
    • Status of current architecture - what should be improved ?
      • Class diagram of involved classes for creating text annotations (GUI <-> Logic <-> DisplayableManager <-> Widget): (up-to-date)
      • Sequence diagram of creating text annotations as an example for overall creation: http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/File:TextAnnotationWorkflow.png (not up-to-date)
    • Status of VTK Widgets
      • Kitware
      • Testing by Nicole
    • DisplayableManagers
      • MRML<->Widget interaction (f.e. property dialog), this is very close (DH)
      • 2D / 3D Interaction
        • 2D Displayable Managers (not started yet (DH))
    • Annotation hierarchy by Nicole
    • Mouse Interaction Manager
      • Interaction Toolbox as separate QWidget to be able to place in own window (link to sketch: http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/File:Widget.png) (not started yet (DH))
      • Do not worry about it
    • Question: Association of volume and models with annotations for measurements
      • use foreground/background volume when annotation is placed?
      • what happens if annotation is deleted?
• 1:20 Planning
  • Milestones until end of year (for Developer Beta)
    • Finish Property Window
    • Make Top Priority Annotation (Fiducial, Bi-directional, Ruler, Text)
      • Make 2D annotation work
      • Show 2D annotation in 3D and vise versa
      • widget instance cache
      • Grey out other annotations right now
    • Make sure Import /Export works (Load and Save MRML, Save Report)
    • Annotation Hierarchy
      • Creating MRML (Nicole)
      • Interaction with CLI (Nicole)
      • Create GUI (Daniel)
    • Basic Mouse mode Toolbar (Wendy)
  • Goals for the next budget year
    • Create a project at AHM to have DBPs use the annotation tool
    • Collect feedback and remove Bugs
    • implement most important features based on feedback

Current Wish list (updated: 08/30/2010)

• By Ron: specify Use Cases for different Annotations
  • Text: short and long text (multiple paragraphs) should be possible
    • include some international and some special characters in your long version of a test text for the text annotation tool (e.g. a with Umlaut, c with circumflex, the dollar sign)
• By Ron: mode for automatic alignment of annotations
  • example: SPL Atlas java viewer (see screenshot http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/File:Atlasjavaviewerannotations.png)
• Recist widget: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_Evaluation_Criteria_in_Solid_Tumors
  • Is bidimensional measurement the right tool?
• add a scalar color bar annotation
• implement hierarchy (waiting for nicole)
• Screenshots of 2D viewers
• Polyline does not work (HIGH PRIORITY)
• ROI does not work (HIGH PRIORITY)
• ruler node does not work (HIGH PRIORITY)
• initial values are incorrectly shown in the property dialog (HIGH PRIORITY)
• delete text in the property dialog may crash Slicer3 (HIGH PRIORITY)
• icons are not saved properly in the HTML report.
• entering text and numbers in property dialog has very funny behavior
• Have Fiducial saved via vtkMRMLAnnotationFiducialNode
• implement "reset viewer" button - viewer is returned to setting when annotation was last modified
• Include annotation that automatically reads in information from dicom header file such as patient name , ...
• By Ron: Add flag to report so that if it is set only visible annotations are shown
  • we should just use the selected annotations in the table for the report
• By Ron: plugin with AIM (https://cabig.nci.nih.gov/tools/AIM)
• By Ron: adding histology slides as annotations (http://www.youtube.com/user/kitware#p/a/CBEE89D886EBFFBF/0/up9UPM4Wb44)
• By Ron: Make sure that annotations are associated with scenes , i.e. if you set a different scene then annotations disappear
• By Ron: Make a demo with /data/Dropbox/RonsExamples/NeuroDemoMayExperiments/2010-03-4Views.mrml
• By Ron: Create a task for http://central.xnat.org/app/action/DisplayItemAction/search_element/xnat%3AmrSessionData/search_field/xnat%3AmrSessionData.ID/search_value/CENTRAL_E00895/popup/false/project/IGT_FMRI_NEURO
• By Ron: use new LUT created by Michael Halle
• wjp: discuss sketch of mouse-modes and anno gui...
• SP: Want to have different metrics such as nano meter . By default should be a 0.1 mm
• KP: Multiple property windows
• Include hierarchy tree with buttons similar to the data model in Slicer 3.6
• Create flag for associating annotation with module or volume
