rev-16c

 26/October/2021
  • Work on the Mixer class. Few bug fixes (including min/max/summations in j or k) and cosmetic improvements.
  • Oups, rev-16b sorted the frames from head to toe instead of the DICOM toe to head. This prevented volumes from being computed.
  • Fix a problem with the standard deviation computation.
  • Add 2 new variables to control the reading of TAG files: $FILE_TAG_TEST_UID and $FILE_TAG_TEST_CKSUM. These can also be changed by the File/Config/TAG option menu. By default both are set to "1" and the TAG files associated to GLI files can only be read if their UID and Checksum match the data from the GLI. Unfortuantelly, some older TAG files created by sliceO sometime do not match the new computations. So if you have problems reading old files, yuou can disable both tests.
Additional Modules
rev-16b

 18/September/2021
  • Fix a refresh problem for the Side View tool in double buffer.
  • Fix a problem where the Side View tool would gobble up the translation and scale changes in the 3D window.
  • Fix a bug when reading files compressed with Jpeg-2000.
  • Apply the command line protocol arguments after reading the configuration. This prevent the configuration scripts from overriding the command line arguments.
  • Fix a refresh problem for ABACS+ if the labels are changed in "Vertebral Label" tool.
Additional Modules
rev-16

 18/August/2021
  • No longuer support Windows 32 bit.
  • Add the "ABACS+" module. This mode must be installed from the "ABACS Modes" download.
  • Add the "2D Vertebral Label" tool. This tool must be installed from the "ABACS Modes" download.
  • Add the "2D Side View" in tools.
  • Some changes to the display modes required from Voronoi.
  • --------------- rev-15c ------------
  • Fix a crash when exporting histograms from the "Threshold" mode.
  • Fix undesired threshold values from ABACS in the histogram export tables.
  • Disable CUDA operations (and free memory) while ABACS+ is working.
  • --------------- rev-15b ------------
  • Increase the max number of cells in the Excel line from 100 to 1000.
  • Add the "Ray" option in "Side View" for users with a CUDA compatible card.
  • Recomplied with Visual C++ 2017
  • --------------- rev-15 ------------
  • Improve the read spead when reading a lot of slices at the same time.
  • Modification to the "Get_Version" functions and the protected DLL version verification.
  • Add a System_Vertebral_Label.dll library.
  • Add a new "label:value" pair in the TAG file to preserve any label associated with the image.
  • Add encryption to the TAG files if they are processed with ABACS+.
  • The Result 2D and 3D tools now save more information in the "Result_xD.scp" file. They also save the result of the "Script_Save" fct for each measure they save. This enable the script to have the information necesary to create the measure that will be saved. For example, if you want to save a DICOM tag that is not one of the 4 default one in DICOM_Info, the command to add this new DICOM tag to the toll will be read before the command to add it to the list to be saved.
Additional Modules
rev-14

07/Mar/2021

Rev-14 was removed! The protected DLLs where not recompiled for that version.

  • Split the installation of the "Alberta Protocol" from the main installation script.
  • Move Mode TAG Histogram from the user section to the main program
  • Move Tool 0D Automate from the user section to the main program
  • Move Tool 0D DICOM Compare from the user section to the main program
  • Add warnings if we have a DLL mismatch.
  • Fix a problem with the mixer that did not mark all the used files as selected.
  • Add the "Order" page to the mixer interface.
  • Improved the speed of the mixer.
  • Slight changes to the "Flag" methods and the multi-thread sync.
  • Add the ""Step #:" prefix" option in the simplified menu configuration to make the name on the buttons shorter.
  • Add the "Baylor Thigh Ptrotocol" simplified menu.
  • Slight change to the ABACS module to change the buttons label (Muscle, VAT, SAT...) only when the interface is activated. Also fix a labeling problem when changing the default tag associated with the tissues.
  • Fix a bug in the "Blow-up" tool.
  • Add some new "3D" components to previous info for the "3D Results" tool
    "2D Patient" become "2D/3D Patient" for the patient info
    "2D Scanner" become "2D/3D Scanner" for the scanner specific info
    "2D Slice" become "2D/3D Slice" for the slice specific info.
    Also, the user tool "DICOM Info" is now available in both the "2D Results" and "3D results" for additional DICOM info from any DICOM tags.
    Note: All these info are derived from the slices associated with the geometry when they are created in sliceOmatic in the current session. Geometries that are saved and imported back do not contain a link to the original slices anymore.
  • Add the most of the info from the "TAG Surface/Volume" tool to the "3D Results" tool (Volumes in pixel, in units, Mean, Min, Max, SD).
    Note: The "3D Results" are by geometries, not slices. so to access the values from "TAG Surafce/Volume", you need to create actual geometries from the TAG (using one of the "Shell" modes) to be able to export the results..
  • Fix a bug where the "Result_3D" configuration file was not read at startup ("Result_2D was read twice instead).
  • Add a series of script commands to the "Automation" tool.
  • in the "Automation" tool, now display the current counter.
  • Fix a problem with the script interpreter for the "Snapshot" tool.
  • Add the "snake: polarity" script command.
  • Fix a bug when computing segmentation on mixer slices that have never been displayed.
  • Increased the default MAX_UNDO_SIZE from 10Mb to 100Mb and add the "500Mb" option.
  • Made most of the dialog pop-up "top most" to prevent them going under the sliceO window.
rev-13

 18/Feb/2021
  • Fix a bugs in the spectroscopy module that cause a crash if the "merge" option was selected.
  • A recent problem with Nvidia drivers (#461.40) cause the program to hang on "SwapBuffer()". So now by default, the program start in single buffer mode. This will cause some flicker when scroling images. You can revert to double buffer from the "Config\Drivers" interface. However, if this cause the program to hang, you will need to rollback your changes by deleting the "sliceO_ini.scp" file in the c:\Program Files\Users\your_name \AppData\Roaming\TomoVision" directory.
  • Decrease the flicker in redrawing mode one images.
  • Add the "User TAG read" mode. This mode enable you to import TAG images created outside sliceOmatic.
  • Now start the "Ersae" buffer empty. This will enable to "erase" pixels in most modes even when an existing TAG file is read.
  • Added 2 script commands to the "Histo 2" mode.
Additional Modules

2020
rev-12

 24/Sep/2020
  • Some Intel drivers have problems with the OpenGL function glDrawPixels. You now have the option of not using glDrawPixels in Config/Drivers. It is also the bit 0x02 for the variable $OPENGL_FLAG. So, if the program crash after some time working on an image, you may try enabling the "no glDrawPixels" option. But be aware that I did see some weird things when not using it and running the program in remote.
    $OPENGL_FLAG: bit 0x01 = no double buffer, 0x02 = do not use glDrawPixels.
  • In region growing, the tag=none can now be used to erase.
Additional Modules
rev-11

 18/Aug/2020
  • Add support for remote connection.
    Note: Older dongles (before August 2020) need to be updated to support remote connection. Please Contact TomoVision to get instruction on how to update your dongle.
Additional Modules
rev-10b

 28/Apr/2020
  • New user tool "TAG Save DICOM .seg" to create DICOM "Segmented Image" files from the tag results.
  • Greatly improved the speed of reading a .mov geometry file.
  • Fix a problem that prevent some old Siemens lossless JPEG 16 buits from being read.
  • Fix a problem for some "Geometrical Mask" when the x/y pixel ratio is not 1/1.
  • Add a new user tool "DICOM_Info" that enable to export up to 4 DICOM tag values from the slices to the Excel result file using the "2D Result" mechanism.
  • Add the "3D Sphere Fit" tool in the additional tools. This tool can be used to fit a sphere to a portion of any geometry using the least squares method.
  • Add a new user class "2D Rotating Cut" to create cut planes defined by 3 points and rotating around 2 of these points.
Additional Modules
rev-10

 03/Feb/2020
  • Change the dimensions information in the Matrix and Vector classes from short to int to enable the manipulation/inversion of matrix with more than 64000 rows or columns.
  • Add the "3D Results" tool. The tool can now export the surface and volume of geometries and the coord of up to 10 3D points.
rev-9c

 31/Jan/2020
  • Fix a problem with the previous version (rev-9b) that prevent the DICOM Table directory to be copied correctly from the install dir to the user's dir. (Copying the dir by hand also solve the problem...)

2019
rev-9b

 11/Nov/2019
  • Add a new 2D Measurement tool: The "Label". This enable you to place labels on the image.
  • Add the possibility of re-naming the 2D measurement tools.
  • Surfaces from slices in cylindrical and spherical systems are now computed corectly.
    Note: The volumes are still not valid. To compute a volume from a sphercial system dataset, you should use the "Shell" mode to create a geometry then use the "3D measures" tool to get the volume of that geometry.
rev-9

 19/Sep/2019
  • Fix a re-entry bug in the JPEG lossless compression that can cause the browser to crash.
  • Add support for multilingual user directory name.
  • Add a new group to the "2D Results" tool: "File Info" that give information of the file containing the selected frames
    - Directory name: Give the directory of the file.
    - File name: Give the name of the file.
    - File format: Give the format of the file (ex: DICOM, JPEG...).

  • Force a re-coputation of the surfaces/results each time a new line is written using the "2D Results" tool.
  • Assign a value of "1.0/1.0" to pixel dimensions if the tag (0028,0030) is present with values "0.0/0.0" (seen in a SC image from a INFINITT PET/CT scanner)
  • While reading a file, the "conversion_rules.txt" "REPORT" and "WARNING" now produce a feedback in the text window.
  • The demo numerical values have been changed from "xx.xx" to "Demo". This can be changed with the variable "$INTERFACE_DEMO".

  • Fix a multi-thread problem in the mixer that may cause crashes when computing threshold with mixed images.
  • Merge the installation scripts of the additional modules.
  • I started seeing a problem with Intel on-board graphic drivers! The program report an OpenGL "Out of memory" error while doing the operation "glDrawPixels". Since that operation does not use OpenGL memory, it look like an error in the Intel's OpenGL drivers. I now open a pop-up if that error is seen, at this time, there is not much more I can do...
  • Add "Selected Frames" option to the "Snapshot" tool to save one image per selected frames. The images will be of the frames in the current display mode (gery, mix, over...). They will be of the same resolution as the original images. They will be saved in the same directory selected for the TAG files, but with the extension matching the selected image format (.tif, .png, .jpg...). If a file already exist with the same file name, it be oevrwritten, no question asked.
Additional Modules

The resulting images will have the dimensions of the frame, regardless of how they are displayed in sliceO. So, for example: "snap: "*.*" frame" will make an image for each of the frames currently in the program's database.
    Note: only the GLI and TAG colors are used to create the frame snapshots, all other info is not saved (overlay, points, measures...)
  • Add the variable "$AUTOMATION_LOOP_COUNTER". That variable can be used inside scripts used in the Automation tool. It is incremented for each step of the automation process and reset to 0 with the reset.

  • Add support for non-cartesian voxels: Support for Spherical and Cylindrical voxels from 3D ultrasound files in Ge Kretz and DICOM, Philips DICOM and Hitachi ALOKA DICOM formats. 3D viewing and reconstructions can now be done directly from these file formats.
  • Fix a proble with DB File Management in demo mode. You can now close files in demo mode.
  • Fix a problem with assigning values to array variables.
  • Fix a problem with Philips 3D Ultrasound DICOM files.

  • Fix a bug in rev-4 where the program crash if multiple images are loaded and not all the images are displayed before some operations (like Threshold).
  • Add a "Sort" functions to the DLL. This enable a new file structure for the DLL, where multiple dir can be used for basid and additional modules and module names are not the only criteria for the order of the modules in the menus.
  • New structure and names for the DLLs.
  • Add a new additional class "Path" and "Suffix" that sort the frames using the file's name path and TAG suffix.
  • Modify "Mixer" class. Now you can enter "path", "name" or "suffix" in the "Discriminate Channels on:" input box. This will cause the mixer to discriminate on input TAG file's path or file's name or the TAG suffix. You can use this to compare the TAGs on 2 identical files. For example for repetabilities studies. If the same images are segmented by 2 users, place the GLI and TAG files a different dir for each user, read them in sliceO, and use the mixer (discriminate on "path") to compare the TAGS. (the TAG eq: "((T1-T2)>0)?(T1-T2):(T2-T1)" should show the TAG differences).
  • Fix a problem in the Mixer for images that had a rescale slope and intercept.
  • Add support for SCANCO pQCT DICOM images.

2014
rev-4b

27/Oct/2014
  • Fix a bug introduce in rev-4a that cause a crash if you use a user class.
  • Remove 3 callbacks from the classes and replaced them by virtual methods: Metrics_Get_Res, Metrics_Get_Org and Metrics_Get_Frm. This mean that most of the user modules have to be re-installed with a compatible version.
  • Fix a bug that cause the preview windows of ROI amd MPR classes to not be displayed correctly when these class modes are first open.
  • Fix a bug when closing images with class MPR active
  • Now remember the ROI values when updating DB.
  • Add a "Display 2D" mode.
  • The "Class" modes no longuer are "2D" modes, the current display will not change when opening a "Class" mode. This was done to enable the "Registration 3D" to work on 3D geometries.
  • Add the variable "COMPUTER_TIMEOUT" to control the differnt thread timeouts. If you are working with huge images (>5000x5000) You may want to increase the timeout to 120 sec instaed of the default 30 sec: "$COMPUTER_TIMEOUT = 120".
  • Made "1" the default value for "$COLOR_CLASIC", so if you want the new "Mix" mode, you need to set it to "0" or press "SHIFT F2".
rev-4a2

03/Oct/2014
  • Add the "Tag: t_tag color R G B" script command.
  • Add a progress bar at the top of the text window.
  • Add the "Surface" mask in the "Geometrical Mask" mode. The mask has a fixed radius that can be modified with the script command: "mask: radius value" where "value" is the radius in mm.
  • Modified the "Mix" color scheme. If you prefer the old look, the variable "$COLOR_CLASIC" can be set to 1 to restore the old Mix algorithm. The variable can also be toggled with the "SHIFT F2" key.
  • Add a new color scheme: the "Tint" mode. The GLI color is multiplied by the TAG color. The "Shift +" and "Shift -" can be used to add seom TAG color to the image. The result give a nicer view of the Tagged tissues, but the tag values over the image background (GLI = 0) not visible in this mode (tag * 0 = 0). The shortcuts "F3" and "F4" have been modified.
  • Fix a crash that would happen if you use "flood watershed" without having created a watershed first.
  • Fix a problem with the pen interface for Snake, Geom Mask and 2D measures modes.
  • Changes to the internal structure of the frames class, to enable elastic deformations now all 2D/3D conversion must go through the callbacks.
  • Add the selection of saved results to the "File" page of the config menu.
  • Removed the "sliceO_5.dat" file in scratch dir. Replaced it by a "sliceO_5_crash.scp" in the user's directory. This "crash" file contain only the active files and it is deleted when we exit normally.
  • Better integration of the script and "Medi" Browsers. Some changes to the browsers.
  • Fix a display problem in Thresholding when you select/unselect slices they where not updated correctly.

  • Fix a problem with 3D Volume measurement that falsely reported the volume to be open.
  • Fix a problem with snake to TAG that sometime created horizontal lines.
  • Improve debugging reporting.
  • Slightly increased speed.
