This documentation page is work in progress

This is a placeholder for MultiVolumeExplorer module documentation.

Disclaimer: this module is Work in progress. This means that

• the functionality provided by this module may change drastically in the future releases of 3D Slicer
• the scenes containing data types specific to this module may not be readable by the future versions of Slicer
• the functionality and user interface may change at any time
• some functionality may not work as intended
• testing and documentation is limited

If you would like to try this module:

1. download the sample dataset File:2011-ProstateDCE.nrrd.zip (anonymized prostate DCE MRI DICOM series)
2. check out this screencast if you would like to learn how to use this module.

Known bugs

• you may need to have quantitative layout on Slicer start in order for charting to work correctly. If you have problems, switch to a quantitative layout, restart Slicer and try again.

Unresolved issues:

• general
  • review the comments from JC/J2 on github and fix the code
  • add testing
• Importer
  • widget should be reorganized and improved for MultiVolumeImporter
• Explorer
  • assign more intuitive names to the extracted frames
  • look why DWI appears on the list of scalar volumes
  • look into flickering issue of vtkChart
  • assign correctly title and points for the X axis
  • look into why the chart view node is not recognized if the quantitative layout is not used initially
