| − | The purpose of the Longitudinal PET/CT Analysis module is to provide a user friendly Slicer interface for quantification of DICOM PET/CT image data by computing the standardized uptake value (SUV) based on bodyweight for different regions of interest and for different timepoints.

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Installation:''' LongitudinalPETCT module is available as an extension that can be installed using [[Documentation/4.1/SlicerApplication/ExtensionsManager|Slicer Extension Manager]]. Make sure Extension Manager is enabled in the Application settings (as shown [[Documentation/4.1/SlicerApplication/ExtensionsManager#Extensions_Manager_Settings|here]]). Follow the Extension Manager usage instructions to find and install Reporting extension. Once installed, you need to restart Slicer before you can use the Reporting module. Note that you need to use the latest Slicer nightly package (starting from Aug 19 nightly) to access the Reporting extension.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Potential issues related to extensions and multiple versions of Slicer:''' Slicer settings are stored in a dedicated system-specific location. These settings are not reset when you install a new Slicer version. If you observe unstable behavior, you could try resetting the settings as follows:
| |
| − | * '''Linux''' and '''Mac''': settings are stored in your home directory in ''.config'' folder (remove ''~/.config'' or move it to a different location)
| |
| − | * '''Windows''': settings are located in ''C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\NA-MIC'' folder -- remove it or move to a different location.
| |
| − | '''WARNING:''' the configuration file contains the path to your DICOM database. Once the configuration file is removed, you will need to re-configure the DICOM module to point it to the location of the database!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please note that this module is under active development, and is being made available for the purposes of beta testing and feedback evaluation! The functionality, GUI and workflows may change in the subsequent releases of the module.

| − | {{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}
| |
| − | This module is designed for the use cases where valid PET and CT (DICOM) image data for different timepoints is imported from Slicer’s DICOM database to be inspected for oncological lesions and their development at different timepoints. Quantitative analysis of these lesions is performed by segmentation and SUVbw computation. In the end an overview over the analysis workflow is provided with interactive qualitative comparison views of all segmentations and different charts for the quantitative results.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Before you start using the module, you need to be familiar with 3D Slicer interface and main features. Please see instruction on using the [[Documentation/4.1/SlicerApplication/MainApplicationGUI|main application GUI]] and [[Documentation/4.1/Training|various tutorials]] to learn about 3D Slicer.
| |

| − | The Longitudinal PET/CT Analysis module uses different internal data structures. The "PET/CT_Report" represents the complete longitudinal analysis for one patient and image data from different timepoints. PET and related CT image data is represented by a “PET/CT_Study” for every timepoint. Every lesions gets declared as a “PET/CT_Finding” which is present for all timepoints but does not necessarily need to have a segmentation for every timepoint (e.g. lesion dissapearance due to radiation therapy) but only one segmentation per timepoint is supported by the “PET/CT_Finding”.
| |

| − | | |
| − | The steps to create a new Longitudinal PET/CT Report and perform quantification:
| |
| − | {|
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | # An DICOM imaging study that will be annotated should be loaded into Slicer DICOM database using Slicer DICOM module. If you are unsure what this means, see [[Documentation/4.1/Modules/DICOM|documentation of the DICOM module]].
| |
| − | # In the Reporting module, new report should be created (see explanation of the module GUI panels below) (Input panel)
| |
| − | # The volume that will be annotated should be selected (Input panel). Following this, the slice viewers will be initialized to show the volume being annotated.
| |
| − | # The name of the structure should be selected from the Slicer terminology list by clicking the colored patch in the Annotation panel.
| |
| − | # Fiducial and ruler markup elements should be placed only in those slice viewers that correspond to the image acquisition plane. Those slice viewers will be listed in the Markup panel of the module.
| |
| − | # To place a new fiducial/ruler markup elements, corresponding controls in the Slicer toolbar should be used (see on the right).
| |
| − | # The tree view in the module Markup panel will be showing all markup elements that have been added to the active report.
| |
| − | # To attach a 3-d segmentation to the report, the segmentation image should be either loaded from file and added to Slicer scene (see [[Documentation/4.1/Modules/Data|instructions on how to use Data module]]), or a new segmentation should be created using the "Segmentation volume" drop-down. Segmentation can then be edited using the Editor panel that is available in the Reporting GUI (see [[Documentation/4.1/Modules/Editor|Editor module]] documentation for using Editor tools).
| |
| − | # "Save Report into AIM format" button can be used to save the report into AIM XML format. "Load Report from AIM format" button can be used to load the report back into Slicer.

| |
| − | | |
| − | GUI of the module contains the following elements:
| |
| − | {|
| |
| − | |
| |
| − | * ''Input'' panel
| |
| − | ** '''Report''': active report being edited
| |
| − | ** '''Annotated volume''': volume being annotated
| |
| − | * ''Annotation'' panel
| |
| − | ** contains the name of the structure being annotated and the colored patch showing the label color. Clicking the colored patch will bring up the selection of the supported named structures. Currently supported terminology is based on Slicer [[Slicer3:2010_GenericAnatomyColors|General Anatomy Colors lookup table]]. Integration of this table with Radlex terminology is planned for the future.
| |
| − | * ''Markup'' panel
| |
| − | ** contains the text listing the slice viewers that should be used for placing fiducial/ruler markups.
| |
| − | ** Tree view widget shows the markups that are associated with the report. The "eye" button toggles visibility of the markup element. Clicking right mouse button over the name of the markup brings up the menu that allows to rename/delete the markup, or to jump to the slice where the markup is placed.
| |
| − | * ''Segmentation'' panel
| |
| − | ** ''Segmentation volume'' selector allows to choose the volume containing the segmentation, or to create a new segmentation. For an existing label map (segmentation) to be associated with the active report, the geometry of the image volume containing the segmentation should match the geometry of the annotated volume. New segmentation volume can be created to match the geometry of the active volume using the segmentation selector.
| |
| − | ** Once the label volume is selected/created, it can be edited using the [[Documentation/4.1/Modules/Editor|Editor]] tools: these are available by expanding the "Edit Selected Label Map" panel (see figure on the right).
| |
| − | * ''Save/Load'' buttons allow to export/import the report into AIM format.
