Module Description
The Fiducials Module creates and manages lists of Fiducial points.
Usage
New fiducials can be created in multiple ways:
Click on the tool bar icon of an arrow pointing to a starburst fiducial to enter the 'place a new object mode', then use the mouse to left click on 3D models or on 2D slices to show where you wish to place your fiducials.
You can also place fiducials while in 'tranform view' mode by positioning the mouse over a 2D slice plane in the Slice view windows (it must be the active window) and pressing the 'P' key.
You can also add a new fiducial from the Fiducials module GUI, using the add button: [image:SlicerFiducialsAddNew.png]. This places a new fiducial at the origin, (0,0,0).
You can right click and drag a fiducial in the 2D slice windows using the mouse in 'transform view' mode. 3D interactions are possible by clicking and dragging the fiducial glyph in the 3D window.
