Modules:Editor-Documentation

Introduction

• This is very preliminary
• To be completed by Steve Pieper and others

Volumes

• Source volume: Indicate the volume that you want to use as backdrop for the editing session
• Provide the name for the label map volume and, if new hit the create label map button.

Tools

• select the label value for the tools to work on. Clicking on the colored box will provide a pop-up with a selection of labels.

Threshold

• Select a label value.
• Voxels in the source volume within the range will have the label value that is selected.
• When apply is clicked, the labels are written into the label map.

Threshold Painting and drawing

• Use Threshold to determine a threshold range and click on Use for Paint
• Change into Paint or Draw and click on the Threshold button
• begin painting/drawing

Change Island

• Changes color of an island, where Island is a group of connected pixels with the same label. Does not change other voxels with the same label.
• This tool is useful after thresholding, to separate anatomy further.
• Click Change Island.
• Click New Label and select a color, or enter a color number.
• Click any part of the island.
• Pixels that are part of that island will receive the New Label value.

Remove Island

NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

• Remove Islands: Automatically removes areas based on size.
• Useful for removing small areas that should not have been thresholded.
• Example: use an area of 10 to remove all islands less than 10 voxels in size.

Save Island

NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

• Save Island retains the selected island, and removes disconnected pixels with the same label. This is another way to clean up the results of a thresholding operation.
• Useful for separating a single connected structure from other structures.

Modelmaker

• A simple version of the full CLI module
• select smooth model for more pleasing results
• Just click apply and models of all label maps will be created.
