Module Description

Display information about the volume data at the location of the mouse pointer in the Slice views.

Use Cases

Examples:

• Use Case 1: Compare image intensity for two volumes before and after filtering by putting one in the foreground and one in the background.
• Use Case 2: Get a textual description of the label value of a segmented structure.
• Use Case 3: Determine the patient and voxel coordinates of a structure.
• Use Case 4: Control slice view corner text annotations, color scalar bar and interactive ruler.

Panels and their use

The Data probe shows two blocks of data

• The first line displays:
  • color and name of the Slice view that the mouse pointer is currently over
  • the patient-space location corresponding to the mouse pointer in RAS (Right/Anterior/Superior space - see the page on Coordinate Systems for more information)
  • the orientation of the slice view
  • the spacing between slices for the slice view
• The lower block of three lines displays:
  • L, F, or B for Label, Foreground, and Background respectively
  • the name of the volume (or None if nothing is selected)
  • the IJK coordinates corresponding to the mouse pointer (see the page on Coordinate Systems for more information)
  • or Label volumes, the name corresponding to the label value (as defined by the current color table)
  • the value of the volume at that coordinate (a single value for scalar volumes or the number or components for non-scalar volumes)
