Requisites, expectations and adaptations
Clinicians and researchers need and expect imaging platforms to provide stock capabilities
Window/level Pan/zoom Annotation Probe Measurement Oblique reformat Volume rendering Lightbox
How do we adapt these concepts to a Slicer experience?

Oblique reformat
• Anatomy is rarely predominantly aligned axially, sagitally, or coronally
• Oblique reformation allows image display planes to be aligned to an anatomy’s principal axes

Applications
Atlas construction Manual delineation Quality control Cross-sectional comparison of atlas subjects before and after
aligning to common coordinate frame Cross-sectional comparison of atlas subjects to constructed
atlas Atlas application
Comparison of atlas to new subject Cross-sectional comparison of new subjects aligned with
atlas Longitudinal analysis

Image viewing is still predominantly 2D
Native format of acquisition Precision dimensional measurements Multiplanar reformat (axial, sagittal, coronal) provides a natural
(perhaps comfortable) navigation paradigm Lightbox provides a mechanism to display 3D relationships Oblique reformats provide a mechanism to mitigate 3D effects
(improve accuracy of dimensional measurements) Longitudinal and cross-sectional comparisons build on the same
framework of linked controls and coordinate frames Slicer3 allows all these capabilities to be layered due
incorporation of coordinate frames at a fundamental level of the viewing pipeline
