Data representation

• Volume = collection of image files• Image file = header + raw dataThe header contains the parameters of the image.

The Panel Propsappears by default.

Click on Select DICOM Volume

The DICOM panel appears

Select the directory dicom in

the Tutorial-with-dicom dataset

The list of DICOM studies appears.

Click OK

Name : The name that the

volume will have within Slicer

Change to something descriptive: Cortex and click on Header

Slicer loads the dicom study

The DICOM Headerinformation panel appears

Click Apply

Slicer loads theDICOM volume ofthe brain

Visualization Support

• Control Window: displays a zoomed view of the position of the mouse on the selected image

Move the mouse inside an anatomical view

Visualization Support

The value of the gray level of the pixel under the cursor appears in the corresponding slice

Viewing VolumesV toggle button controls

whether slice is visible in 3D Viewer

Click on the three V buttons to display the

Axial, Sagittal and Coronal images inside the Viewer

Viewing Volumes

The Axial, Sagittal and Coronal Images appear in the Viewer

Manipulating the images

Left-click and move the mouse to the left

• Rotation

The images move to the left

Right-click and move the mouse down

The viewer gets closer to the model

• Zoom

Right-click and move the mouse up

The viewer moves away from the model

• Zoom

Viewing Volumes

Come back to Normal View

2D Viewer

• Three 2D windows (red, yellow, and green)• Slider selects which slice of volume to display • Field shows the slice number

2D Viewer

• Bg (Background): displays volume in background layer • Fg (Foreground): displays volume in foreground layer

Superimposed over the background layer

Volumes without Header

Motivations:• The DICOM file format incorporates all

the parameters that Slicer requires to render the data

• Other images files types may not

Motivations:• The DICOM file format incorporates all

the parameters that Slicer requires to render the data

• Other images files types may not

Slicer has a simple protocol for

loading volumes without header

Volumes without Header1. Main Data

2. Add Volume

3. Browse to find the first image of the Volume spgr in the directory tutorial

4. Select first image I.001 of volume to load, and click Open

5. Click on Manual

6. Click on Apply

File Pattern: Pattern of file names, in C syntax.

Example: a file named skin.001 has a pattern of %s.%03d.

Image Size: Number of

pixels of image in x and y

directions.

The Header section of the Props tab appears.

Pixel Size in the x and y directions. Slice Thickness z dimension of the voxel. Scan Order:

• LR = left to right • IS = inferior to superior • PA = posterior to anterior

Scalar Type: Data format of the pixel. Generally, it is Short (16 bit integer). Slice Tilt: The tilt of the gantry during an MRI.

Num Scalars:

Number of scalar components for each voxel. Gray-scale data: 1. Color data: 3.

Little Endian:

In little-endian architectures, the rightmost bytes are most significant. In big-endian architectures (Slicer default), the leftmost bytes (those with a lower address) are most significant.

DTI data, Swap, No Swap: Placeholders for future.

Click Apply to load the volume.

The spgr volume appears in the

Viewer

from the right side of the patient

Click on the Spin button

The model starts spinning inside the

Viewer Panel.

Click on the Rock button

The model starts rocking inside the

Viewer Panel.

Come back to initial orientation of the Viewer Panel by clicking on the A letter (Anterior) inside the window.

Models representation

A model is a 3D representation

of the anatomy.

Type W (Wireframe) in the Main Window

Models representation

The triangles of the Model become visible in the Viewer.

Type S (Surface) to come back to Surface Mode rendering

Model Opacity1. Click on Models in the

Main Menu

2. Select the Display Tab

The properties Panel of the model appears

3. OpacitySet the opacity of the Skin model to 0.5

Model Opacity

Skin model

Opacity = 0.5

Model VisibilityVisibility on and off by

left clicking on the name of model in the list

Left Click on the Vessels button in the list of models

Model Visibility

Vessels model Visibility 0ff

Global Visibility

Show All to display all

models in the 3D Viewer.

Click Show None to display none of the models in the 3D Viewer

Viewing 3D Models

Show None: the models have disappeared

2D Viewer

Lb: displays label map

Displays results of a segmentation

Left click on Lb in the Axial View and select the Label Map named None

2D Viewer

The segmented volume named all disappears from the 2D Viewer.

2D Viewer

Left click on Lb in the Axial View and select the Label Map named all.

2D Viewer

The segmented volume named all appears in the 2D Viewer.

2D Viewer

Images in the label map layer appear as outlines around the structures that were segmented.

2D Viewer

Left Click on Fg in the Axial View and select the Volume named all in the Axial, Sagittal and Coronal slices.

Image Fusion

•Fade slider:

fades between foreground

and background.

Set the Fade slider to 0.5

2D Viewer

The volume all is superimposed on the images

Clipping Models• Clipping: cutting away sections of a

model at one or more selected slices.

• The model is removed from one side of each selected slice, revealing the image of each selected slice and the rest of the visible model.

Select the Models Display tab

1. Click on Show all to make all the models visible 2. Right-click the Skin model in the list

A drop-down menu appears.3. Check that the Clipping option is selected.4. Set the opacity of the Skin model to 1.0.5. Select the Clip tab of the Models panel.

Clipping Models

Click + or - to select which side of each slice to clip on.

Set the sides to: Red Slice +Yellow Slice -Green Slice -
