This class enable you to add sort the DB tree according to the path of the TAG files. 

 

It is used if you have the same GLI image segmented multiple times and want to compare them.  For example in repeatability studies.  You can read the same GLI image in sliceOmatic but only if the associated TAG either have different suffix, or are from different directories.  Since the GLI files are the same, the normal sorting classes ("Study", "Series" and "DICOM Tree") are unable to differentiate them.  You can use "Path" and "Suffix" for this.

 

The Path class is enabled through the 2D Mode: "DB Class management" interface.  If this class is placed in the DB tree, there will be one instance of this class per TAG file directory.

 

It is usually placed immediately after the root class and is used to differentiate between the studies.

 

For example, let us say that we to have 3 different users segment the same slice.  We can  have each user segment the GLI and save the TAG results using a different suffix ("User_A", "User_B" and "User_C"). You can then read the GLI 3 time changing the desired suffix each time from the configuration menu and use the "suffix" class to differentiate each. The resulting database tree will be:
