Liver DCDI:  Performed alternative Blood Vessel segmentation, using the 4D algorithm that takes into account all the timepoints. Result is quite different, with fa=0.24 (comparing to fa=0.32 for the 3D vessel segmentation)

Liver DCDI modelling:  comparison of Whole Liver ROI   vs.  Whole Liver without Blood vessels.



FireVoxel Build 146A is released.

1. FVX file format, version4:  implemented format extension to be able to save current dynamic model and the Input functions.  This would be a great productivity multiplier both for end-User and developer.
2. General  4D "Blood vessel segmentation" algorithm and UI with User-provided input function(s).
3. Implemented and added an UI item  "MainMenu>Segment>Segment dark ridges"  which complements the existing "Segment bright ridges" functionality.
4. Implemented Liver DCDI  Blood Vessel Segmentation 3D:  this is an alternative algorithm that uses a single pre-contrast timepoint  assuming the vessels are darker than the liver tissue.  Existing "Dark Ridge detection"  algorithm is used.  
5. Fixed a defect in the IDIF function.

6. Added several "Keep Highest voxels for each individual timepoint" options as specified by Jean Logan.
