General Enhancements
- Tabbed Analyze Workspace interface for improved management of loaded volume image data for multiple projects
- Analyze Workspace loaded volume image icon arrangement improvements:
- Arranged by name, size, modification time
- Icons can be dragged into new positions
- Volume renaming with icon in current position
- Multiple volume image drag-and-drop to modules that have multiple inputs
- Improved window/subwindow position control
- Subwindow positions can be stored and recalled when module is invoked again
- Smarter subwindow management to keep from opening on top of primary window
- Analyze can be started with a volume image to be loaded on the command line (invoked Load to then load that volume at startup)
- Integrated, searchable, more complete help documentation
File Management
- Full DICOM JPEG 2000 compression support
- User-selectable naming convention for volumes loaded by DICOM Tool
- Support for SUV conversion when loading PET volume images
Display/Visualization Modules
- New 'Volume Compare' module
- Direct comparison of two volume images and associate object maps
- Allows more effective comparison between registered volume images
- Permits direct viewing of objects between the two volumes, such as for comparison of segmentation results
- Multiplanar Sections
- Scroll bars added to the Scan Tool to support very large or magnified images
- Volume Render
- Tissue map color bar and associated scale can be displayed with the rendered image for direct viewing of image value to color mapping
Registration Modules
- 3D Voxel and Surface Registration
- Added full support to use 24-bit RGB volume images
- Registration based on specific RGB color channel or combined grayscale image
- Transformations applied to full 24-bit volume image
- New yellow/cyan comparison option
Measurement Modules
- Line Profile
- New tool for drawing two intersecting lines and measuring distances and angles between the lines
- Region Of Interest
- Median value within sample region added as a sampled metric
- Individual voxel signal intensity plotting through another dimension (i.e., 2D images through time or 3D volumes through time)
- Tree Analysis
- Added a 'Save All Stats' button to the Tree Plot option for efficient saving of tree metrics for all extracted trees
SISCOM Module
- Statistical significance for activation detection now allows a variable range from 0.1 STD to 5.0 STDs
- All registration transformation matrices for any combination of registrations between SPECT and MRI inputs can be saved for use outside of SISCOM
3D Mayo Brain Atlas
- Coordinate query now includes options for transformation into four new coordinate reference systems: MNI, SPM, ICBM and FSL coordinates
DTI Module
- Computation of axial diffusivity and radial diffusivity
- Direct ROI definition for fiber tracking
- Fiber metrics (both global and ROI localized) are computed, including:
- Total number of fibers tracked
- Number of fibers in a given ROI-derived bundle
- Fiber length - max, min, average
- FA values for specific fiber bundle (max, min, mean)
- Object map output for ROI-localized fiber bundles
- Output eigenvalues/eigenvectors from computed DTI maps (lamda 1, 2, 3)
- Improved control of fiber track window (mouse movements for volume orientation and scale control)
