Module Description

The purpose of the Reporting module is to provide Slicer interface for creating image annotations/markup that are stored in a structured form, and can be exported into Annotation Image Markup (AIM) XML-based format. Currently, Reporting module allows to create three types of markup:

• point (fiducial)
• 2-d measurement (ruler)
• 3-d segmentation (label map).

The 3-d segmentations are stored as binary image masks, and are serialized into DICOM Segmentation Storage objects, which in turn can be referenced from the AIM XML document.

Use Cases

This module is designed for the use cases that require creation and/or exchange of self-containing documents describing a certain finding in a DICOM image, such as lesions and anatomical structures.
