Add local folder to VivoQuant as repository

Note: when loading data with an iPACS, this is the preferred method of opening data, rather than simply double clicking or dragging and dropping the data into the application.

VivoQuant has 3 types of repositories: Local Folder, DICOM server, and iPACS.

Each are added in the same dialogue, which can be reached from the data browser either by using the menu File > Data Browser, or by clicking the Data Browser button.

In the resulting window, click the + button:

From here, enter a display name for the repository and click the ‘Local Folder’ button. In the ‘Folder’ menu, click the ‘…’ button to select a folder path:

Click ‘OK’.

Otsu Thresholding Segmentation with the 3D ROI Tool

Since its introduction in 2010, the 3D region-of-interest (ROI) operator has aided our users in quantification and volume estimation from their image data.  The prerequisite of any quantification or volume estimation task is an accurate segmentation for the volume of interest.  The 3D ROI tool’s combination of manual, semi-automated, and fully-automated segmentation routines provides a highly complete toolbox with an emphasis on accuracy and efficiency for the user.

iPACS reporting: Generating PowerPoint Presentations

After a VivoScript has been run, it is often useful to organize its output in a single document that can be used for a quality control check or to present the results. This is especially helpful in compiling many results into one document–reporting tools can loop through a study with hundreds of datasets and compile their relevant results into a single document, saving you a lot of time. You may be familiar with VivoScript reporting tools that create PDF presentations or XLS spreadsheets, but did you know you can also generate Microsoft PowerPoint Presentations from VivoScript? Keep reading for an overview of how it works and a few examples of cool features that give you a lot of freedom to control formatting, hyperlinks, and more in the resulting presentations.
