Module Description
|
|
|
The idea behind this module is to rapidly prototype a module for a specific clinical workflow. Since Slicer 2.x there have been several efforts to create modules that provides all functionalities required for a given clinical application with an integrated GUI. The issue of such approach is that there are many duplicated codes among the modules; the developers have to copy the entire module and modify just a few parts of it even if the new clinical applications share the large part of workflow with the existing modules.
Instead of implementing all features in a module, the new prototype module only binds the existing modules that are required for the given clinical application, and allows the users to go through those modules by simply clicking the "next" button. The module is written in Python script so that the developers can use it as a template for new module development.
