Module Description
The Contours module manages contours and contour hierarchies.
Use Cases
- Load as ribbon, then compute DVH; the user wants to see the contours in 3D
- Edit contour 1, edit contour 2; see contour 1 while editing contour 2
- Create contour node, convert it to (empty) labelmap; do contouring on the labelmapo representation; convert to model
- Create/load labelmap or surface, create Contour node from that in Patient Hierarchy module

How to
- Create contour from scratch
- In Contours module select 'Create new Contour' in the contour selector drop-down to create a new contour
- In Patient Hierarchy module drag&drop new contour from 'Potential patient hierarchy nodes' list to under a structure set in the tree
- The default representation is an empty Ribbon model. It can be converted to Indexed labelmap in the Contours module and then the labelmap can be edited in the Editor module
- Create contour from labelmap volume or model
- In Patient Hierarchy module drag&drop the existing representation (labelmap or model) from 'Potential patient hierarchy nodes' list to under a structure set in the tree. This way an encapsulating Contour node gets created and associated to the corresponding color table
- Create new Structure set from scratch
- Right-click on an existing Study node and select 'Create child structure set'. This menu item is only available for Study level nodes
Panels and their use
- Current contour(s): Currently selected contour node (vtkMRMLContourNode) or conotur hierarchy node (vtkMRMLContourHierarchyNode)
- Active representation: The active representation (Ribbon model / Indexed labelmap / Closed surface model) of the selected contour. If a hierarchy is selected in which the active representations of the contained contours do not match, Various is indicated
- Change active representation: This box contains controls to convert from one representation to another
