The CornerAnnottion module is a Slicer4 module designed to display annotations, time count, node elements on each panels (3D, Red, Yellow and Green views, respectively) on the Slicer user interface.
 +
You can edit annotations, display panels, font style, color, and opacity, respectively.
  
PercutaneousPathDesigner is a Slicer4 module designed to display bundles of needle path candidates to avoid blood vessels, bones and specific anatomies and create the path from the bundle.
 
The bundles of path candidates is calculated based on a target point, a skin model and an obstacle model.
 
After the calculation, you can obtain possible trajectories to avoid the obstacles as bundles of path candidates.
 
This bundle expression may help you grasp safety paths easily. 
 
Furthermore, it is possible to evaluate the each path on the bundles based on the length and the trajectory comparing with the longest path and the shortest path.
 
The location of the skin entry point of each path can be modified by extending and shrinking the path.
 
The target point and the skin entry point you modified on the selected path could be output as a MarkupsFiducial List.
 
You can clean up the models generated from this module.

The CornerAnnottion module is a Slicer4 module designed to display annotations, time count, node elements on each panels (3D, Red, Yellow and Green views, respectively) on the Slicer user interface. You can edit annotations, display panels, font style, color, and opacity, respectively.


Use Cases

The CornerAnnotation module allows to display any texts you create at any corners on your Slicer viewers. Furthermore, you can also display a timer count and elements of transform matrixes you set. Therefore, you can use this module, for example, to alert a surgeon to an ablation time and to indicate the tip of the tracker for quantitative assessment attractively in image guided therapy. We hope this module can help 3D Slicer to be used as a navigation system.
