Quick Tour of Features and Use

Below are the step-by-step instructions to load, process and save some sample data (see link above).

Step 1. Load the sample data

  • Input panel:
    • Image input select the input image
    • Image output create Slicer node for output image
    • Model output create Slicer node for output model
  • Command panel:
    • Default reset input and output nodes to blank values
    • Cancel cancel the execution of the algorithm
    • Apply apply the segmentation algorithm (takes approx. 3 min)
1. load the sample data

Step 2/9. Select the SpineSegmentation module

7. review result

Step 8/9. Save result image and model

  • Input panel:
    • Image input select the input image
    • Image output create Slicer node for output image
    • Model output create Slicer node for output model
  • Command panel:
    • Default reset input and output nodes to blank values
    • Cancel cancel the execution of the algorithm
    • Apply apply the segmentation algorithm (takes approx. 3 min)
8. save results

Step 9/9. Find contact information for help and paper reference
