**Topics for background tutorials:
 
**the main components: transform, similarity function, optimization, interpolation
 
**coordinate systems: physical vs. image space, RAS vs. LPI etc.
 
**relevant image meta-data: image/axis orientation, image/CS origin, voxel size, dynamic range
 
**overview of scenarios and their different challenges: image pairings, DOF, multi-modal, intra/inter-subject etc.
 
**how to evaluate a match: tools & concepts
 
**common mistakes to avoid:  inappropriate DOF, overly flat similarity metric, CS inconsistencies, FOV discrepancies, wrong interpolation, insufficient search (sample points, multi-scale, DOF scale-space)
 
**Troubleshooting guide: insufficient match - what next?  Parameter modification, DOF change, initial alignment assist, fiducial help, ROI masking (e.g. skull stripping)
 
*Tutorial Resources
 
**Coordinate Systems / Image Orientation

Development Efforts

Reference Manual

  • The reference manual will contain detailed descriptions of each parameter and each control element within the slicer registration module. The description should help the user understand what exactly that function/parameter does and if/how useful it will be for their specific registration problem.
  • Each entry will have one short description (that could also serve as tooltip) and one longer, more technical explanation.
  • Preferred formats: Slicer Wiki, maybe PDF, cross-linking required
  • Draft Registration Reference Manual

User Manuals & Tutorials

  • The user manual will contain a systematic overview of registration functionality within 3DSlicer. formats: Slicer Wiki, PowerPoint.
  • Turtorials will be case oriented and always demonstrate a particular task or feature
    • Video Tutorials: showcase of specific workflow
    • Background Tutorials, explaining the basics of registration, formats: PowerPoint. Minimal understanding of the inner workings of a registration optimization algorithm is essential to understand and judge the results obtained and obtainable.

Contact

  • if there is anything you think would be of help to the 3DSlicer registration user, be that documentation, examples or features, we'd love to hear about it:
