−
** develop a customized NRRD format that would store time stamps for the individual frames. There is no currently such format. There is similar precedent in DicomToNrrdConverter and DWI support.
 
−
** introduce new module, similar to DicomToNrrdConverter (or an option of operation for the DicomToNrrdConverter?) to convert a DICOM study into the customized format
 
−
** introduce new storage nodes into Slicer4 that would enable IO of the customized NRRD format
 
−
** discuss how the 4D MRI node would be related to the existing hierarchy of the volumes in Slicer -- should DWI and 4D MRI be siblings?
 
−
* Visualization
 
−
** anecdotally, very efficient visualization of 4D MRI studies is already possible by reading them as a DWI volume following DicomToNrrd module conversion.
 
−
** an idea is to provide a custom GUI panel in the Volumes module. This would be similar to DWI visualization panel, but would include a field for displaying time stamps instead of b-values.
