Overview

You will find below on section for each tutorial listed here. After testing a tutorial, report in the appropriate section the operating system, Slicer revision and remarks.

General Introduction

Slicer Welcome Tutorial

• r22128 / Windows7 / 64-bit / Chrystel: OK
• r22159 / Ubuntu 12.04 / 64-bit / Yuzheng: OK

Notes

PROBLEMS

1 / [Yuzheng]: There are 11 sample datasets as of now and there was only 6 in the tutorial.

SOLUTIONS

1 / This problem has been resolved. In the updated version, there are 11 sample downloads instead of 6.

Slicer4Minute Tutorial

• r22128 / Windows7 / 64-bit / Chrystel: OK
• r22159 / Ubuntu 12.04 / 64-bit / Yuzheng: OK

Notes

PROBLEMS

1 / [Chrystel]: Scene is loading automatically and no add volume in file menu (add data)

2 / [Yuzheng]: Icon has changed: (on slide 22) The spin icon represents 'yaw the view of the scene' now instead of 'spin the 3D view' shown in tutorial. One click won't start spinning the model, but yaw the model once.

SOLUTIONS

1 / {Chrystel}: This problem has been resolved. The program should work soundly if you click "Load Data" in the Welcome to Slicer module. This will load the scene correctly.

2 / {Yuzheng}: This problem has been resolved. Click on the ‘Spin the 3D view’ icon (the icon that looks like a cross-hair) which will start spinning the model after clicking it once.

Slicer4 Data Loading and 3D Visualization

• r22128 / Windows7 / 64-bit / Chrystel: OK
• r22159 / Ubuntu 12.04 / 64-bit / Yuzheng: See below notes.

Notes

PROBLEMS

1 / [Chrystel]: Menu has changed, there is no tab Material Properties anymore

2 / [Yuzheng]: Menu has changed: no add volume and add scence in file menu (add data)

3 / [Yuzheng]: Error messages in standard output

when loading 3DHeadScene.mrml (tutorial slice 19), get the following:

ERROR: In .../Slicer/Libs/MRML/Core/vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode.cxx, line 82
vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode (0x4295b10): ReadDataInternal: file does not exist:.../3DVisualizationData/3DVisualizationData/3DHeadData/Axial.png

ERROR: In .../Slicer/Libs/MRML/Core/vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode.cxx, line 82
vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode (0x4295e90): ReadDataInternal: file does not exist: .../3DVisualizationData/3DVisualizationData/3DHeadData/Sagittal .png

ERROR: In /home/yuzheng/Source/Slicer/Libs/MRML/Core/vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode.cxx, line 82
vtkMRMLSceneViewStorageNode (0x4296420): ReadDataInternal: file does not exist: .../3DVisualizationData/3DVisualizationData/3DHeadData/Coronal .png

4 / [Yuzheng]: Additional .vtk suffix and possible error messages in standard output

When saving a scene (tutorial slide 62), the default vtk file name has two vtk suffix, e.g. left_eyeball.vtk.vtk.
If these vtk files are not saved as instructed in the tutorial, then the following errors will be shown in output when scene is restored (tutorial page 66)

ERROR: In .../Slicer/Libs/MRML/Core/vtkMRMLModelStorageNode.cxx, line 114
vtkMRMLModelStorageNode (0x3ced680): ReadDataInternal: model file '.../3DVisualizationData/3DVisualizationData/3DHeadData/left_eyeball.vtk.vtk' not found.

5 / [Yuzheng]: Additional white space in default file name

When saving a scene (tutorial slide 62), there exists additional white space in these two default file names:
'Sagittal .png' and 'Coronal .png'

SOLUTIONS

1 / [Chrystel]: In the new updated tutorial this no longer exists.

2 / [Yuzheng]: In new updated file, go to ‘File’ and click on ‘Add Data’. Then you will be able to load a scene.

3 / [Yuzheng]: In the updated tutorial, the 3DHeadScene.mrml should work and load in the 3D viewer with no errors.

4 / [Yuzheng]: File will be saved as ‘myNewScene.mrml’

5 / [Yuzheng]: This problem is still currently being resolved.

Notes

PROBLEMS

1 / [Chrystel]: Tractography Fiducial Seeding module doesn't exist .

2 / [Yuzheng]: In slide 70, advanced display tab is broken, so operations in slice 70-75 cannot be reproduced.
