LUTs in Slicer

You can review and edit LUTs in Slicer via the Colors module.

Slicer ColorPicker

The slicer colorpicker allows to select colors from a label map and to assign them to objects such as surface models or streamlines.

Custom LUTs

It is relatively easy to create custom LUTs by creating a table with the colors on the wiki. This allows to select specific names and colors when segmenting. See below for an example.

integer_label	text_label	color	notes
0	background	rgba(0,0,0,0)
1	tissue	rgb(128,174,128)	Default label for bodily tissues
2	bone	rgb(241,214,145)
3	skin	rgb(177,122,101)
4	connective tissue	rgb(111,184,210)

• Standard color names and values: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#ColorKeywords
• Go here to create a text file in Slicer LUT format.
• A custom LUT can be loaded into Slicer like any other file.

Custom LUT Examples
