Use-case workflow

Items under development

Issues raised by Reinhard and Marcus on Feb 19, 2013 call:

  • scene save/load is not working in LongPETCT (Paul is working on this)
  • would like to be able to segment on the whole image volume without having to specify the ROI (Paul will look into adding this as an option)
  • there is a crash switching between Editor and Charts layout, only on linux (Andrey will test)
  • need to discuss how Markus' SUV calculation extension can be integrated with Paul's module; Steve: makes sense to package that CLI together with the Paul's module (Paul started working on this)

Other feature requests:

  • use box-and-whiskers for charts (request from Ron; problem: max/mean are not included)
  • report ROI SUV statistics in the findings table (Paul will implement)
  • allow externally supplied label to be specified for the finding segmentation (under consideration)

Slicer-related infrastructure discussion issues

  • should there be an infrastructure for extension/module-specific parameter settings, and an interface to keep them in Slicer settings file? Should these settings be accessibel from Slicer Settings dialog, or from a panel in the extension?
  • It is important for reproducibility purposes to be able to keep track of the parameters and initialization (e.g., fuducials) used for certain processing operation. Should we consider how to do this on the Slicer infrastructure level, or resolve on a per-case basis?
  • PET SUV CLI module improvements: output SUV volume, and use another module for statistics calculations?
