Motivation

Slice View corner annotations can provide valuable information to Slicer users, making access to imaging information easier and results in a better and faster UI experience.

Some of the key information that can be added to slice view are:

Volume names for different layers.
Opacity of different layers in multi-layer situations.
Information extracted from the DICOM objects, such as Patient Information (e.g name, sex, date of birth, ...), study Information, series information, modality specific information (e.g echo time and relaxation time for MRI images) and so on.
Distance scaling bar (ruler) which provides information about the scaling of the image and would change when the user zoom in or zoom out.
Color scaling bar
Orientation marker
