General Introduction

Slicer Welcome Tutorial

Note 1 [Yuzheng]: There are 11 sample datasets as of now and there was only 6 in the tutorial.

• r22128 / Windows7 / 64-bit / Chrystel: OK
• r22159 / Ubuntu 12.04 / 64-bit / Yuzheng: OK

Slicer4Minute Tutorial

Note 1 [Chrystel]: Scene is loading automatically and no add volume in file menu (add data)

Note 2 [Yuzheng]: Icon has changed: (on slide 22) The spin icon represents 'yaw the view of the scene' now instead of 'spin the 3D view' shown in tutorial. One click won't start spinning the model, but yaw the model once.

• r22128 / Windows7 / 64-bit / Chrystel: OK
• r22159 / Ubuntu 12.04 / 64-bit / Yuzheng: OK

Slicer4 Data Loading and 3D Visualization

• r22128 / Windows7 / 64-bit / Chrystel: OK
• r22159 / Ubuntu 12.04 / 64-bit / Yuzheng: See note 3, 4, 5

Notes

Note 1 [Chrystel]: Menu has changed, there is no tab Material Properties anymore

Note 2 [Yuzheng]: Menu has changed: no add volume and add scence in file menu (add data)

Note 3 [Yuzheng]: Error messages in standard output

when loading 3DHeadScene.mrml (tutorial slice 19), get the following:

ERROR: In .../Slicer/Libs/MRML/Core/vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode.cxx, line 82
vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode (0x4295b10): ReadDataInternal: file does not exist:.../3DVisualizationData/3DVisualizationData/3DHeadData/Axial.png

ERROR: In .../Slicer/Libs/MRML/Core/vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode.cxx, line 82

vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode (0x4296420): ReadDataInternal: file does not exist: .../3DVisualizationData/3DVisualizationData/3DHeadData/Coronal .png

Note 4[Yuzheng]: Additional .vtk suffix and possible error messages in standard output

When saving a scene (tutorial slide 62), the default vtk file name has two vtk suffix, e.g. left_eyeball.vtk.vtk.
If these vtk files are not saved as instructed in the tutorial, then the following errors will be shown in output when scene is restored (tutorial page 66)

ERROR: In .../Slicer/Libs/MRML/Core/vtkMRMLModelStorageNode.cxx, line 114
vtkMRMLModelStorageNode (0x3ced680): ReadDataInternal: model file '.../3DVisualizationData/3DVisualizationData/3DHeadData/left_eyeball.vtk.vtk' not found.

Note 5[Yuzheng]: Additional white space in default file name

When saving a scene (tutorial slide 62), there exists additional white space in these two default file names:
'Sagittal .png' and 'Coronal .png'
