 1. Fixed crash when Radiomics are started without ROI and activating Change button causes crash.

2. Fixed RoiStats3D problem when the Histogram range settings from previous volume where used in a different volume and "All voxels void" message appeared. It resets now to the full range of the new image.

Build 342 is released.

 1.  Segment>FLEXR-3D registration functionality does not require the Source ROI anymore.

2. ZNCC (correlation) measure : fixed defect when StdDev was turning negative (-1e-11) and that was causing the measure to return NAND.

3. Implemented UI function to take a folder of FVX files, all  3D, and register them to one of them with ROI present and make a single multi-layer entity document (using FLEXR3D)

 Implemented UI function to take a folder of FVX files, all  3D, and register them to one using DICOM tag functionality.

4. Implemented UI function to take a multi-layer document with all 3D layers, sort it by time and make a single 4D volume.

5. 3. Implemented UI function to take a folder of FVX files, all  3D, and register them to one of them with ROI present and make a single multi-layer entity document (using DICOM Tag registration)

6. Code: consolidated all appearancess of Gridded Amoeba\Simplex optimization into easy to call single function. This affected many Dynamic Models and led to a significant code reduction.

7. Fixed defect win Spline->polyline conversion, when an empty polyline was returned

8. Extended GlobalOptimization function to include relative Cost Eps threshold as the additional stopping condition.

9. Corrected "Split Multiframe DICOM" function so it is possible to load the US multiframe.

2. EdgeWave: fixed defect when output mask is created as INTEGER volume. This was happening when Competetive Growth option was checked.  Added and ABT subtest to cover that situation.

3. Major rework of the IDIF parameter dialog.

4. Fixed defect : When Reset Projection for this View is called current slice is now properly reset to the Mid-slice of the original volume.

5. Code: consolidate all code for invoking notepad.exe

6. Open DICOM dialog: compare tags functions now outputs the info into file and displays notepad.exe.

7. EdgeWave Brain segmentation workflows:  Changed default option to No Competetive Growth. This is due to recently discovered problem of multitude of small connected components (after Peel) which prevent a proper regrowth into gyri.

8.  When Volume>Transform function is invoked and it is pure scale (RotX=RotY=RotZ=0), then we properly scale any present VROIs.

9.IDIF workflow: fixed the tracking map appearing in gray first and then switching to color.

10.  Segment -> Sagittal Brain... (or another tool from this group):  now slice is not switched when the seed is found internally (since the seed is not displayed).

11.  EdgeWave brain basic segmentation workflow:  added a separate  Set Profile UI function. Processing does not invoke the dialog box anymore.

12. Fixed general defect when new raster layer is added as a result of any operation its internal m_position should be set to that of the Main Volume. Otherwise when the MainVolume is removed there is incorrect positioning in object redraw.

13.  WM lesions workflow:  N3 parameter panel:  disabled the Output Bias Field option (for this workflow only).

14.  Bical tool dialog now has the option to Output Real Voxels (default=NO). This is valid when original volume type is INTEGER.

15. Translation tool:  Distance in (mm) shows up automatically during the 

vector construction and while user is changing that vector in any way

(i.e. dragging as a whole or one endpoint only). As soon as User stops

the "distance mm" label disappears automatically.  Display\Hide curve

length flag works as before.

 

16. Rotate by sector is similar,  Angle in degrees is displayed as long as we are changing the object.   17. Fixed defect: When Starting new polyline with the current polyline selected on a different slice prevent from continuing on the current invisible polyline. 18.

8. Dynamic Experiment Single Curve result dialog:  changed layout to more efficient, made time axis display relative time, expanded field width for the Signal axis, added the model name to the title of the dialog.

9. Dynamic Experiment dialog box:  implemented Paste (from Clipboard) for Input function panel.

So Input function displayed in RoiStats4D dialog box can be copied and then pasted to Dynamic experiment Dialog.

10. Radiomics2D:  implemented first order features. Updated corresponding dialog box.

11.  Added the percentile first order features to the RoiStats3D dialog.

12. Implemented ABT subtest for Radiomics2D over {Integer,Real} images.

tau_PET  Rad [8,8]  MaxLength = 70mm

PIB PET   Rad [8,8]   Max Length=70mm

PIB_PET Rad[6,6] mm Max length=70mm

Butanol PET   Rad [6,6] mm   Max Length=70mm

Butanol PET Rad [8,8] mm  Max length=70mm

New version of the IDIF tracking function

 1. Implemented initial version of the Omni-directional IDIF.  

This is a Bi-directional tracking map. Max length in both directions is 70 mm. Color represents the "generation index".  VROI is macroseed in this picture.  Black color corresponds to Miniseed (generation=1).  

 

 

Corresponding IDIF function

 

 1. Fixed DICOM load problem.  DICOM file had  *.im extensions (identical to MIDAS). So expanded the list of possible DICOM extensions.

2. Disabled access to Test Menu items in Release builds. 

3. Implemented new Gamma-variate fir Dynamic Model and made it possible to be called directly from RoiStats4D dialog box.

4. Radiomics file output : Added Volume name to each line.

5. Radiomics dialog :  checkbox option to output Tab-delimited file.

10.  Alt+1  now works with polyline (in addition to spline) to click-insert a new point.

 

Build 338 is released

 1. Code: Replaced FireVoxel custom data types with new VC++ buil-in types {INT8,INT16,INT32,INT64}

2. RoiStats3D dialog - corrected a subtle defect when remembered previous Histogram settings result in "No Valid Voxels" situation with newly loaded image, so it is not possible to open the dialog.  In this situation "Exclude Outside Range" flag is reset to prevent this deadlock.

3. Code :  replaced class function CDrawSet::{CurrentTime,CurrentDynInx} with CDrawView.

4. Fixed defect: unable to construct VROI on some .im and old FVX files.

5. Fixed crash when calling RoiStats3D dialog after "Ambiguous layers present".

6. For RoiStats3D dialog and Radiomics execution: changed how the notepad.exe is called so the FireVoxel does not have to wait till user exits the notepad.

7. ViewTac dialog box: voxel radius is changed now by using standard spin control

to avoid keyboard entering.

8. Fixed crash in Dynamic Experiment : Extrapolate functionality.

9. Added checks for Extrapolated dynamic points to be different from original dynamic points. Exclude repeats from specified extrapolated points.

10. RoiStats4D dialog : fixed defect when it was not possible to change the Curve panel background color.

12. RoiStats4D dialog : removed redundant Info button.

13. Dynamic Framework:  changed output parameter units naming from mm2/s to mm2/sec

14. Removed redundant item MainMenu>4D Processing>Parametric modelling.

15. Output naming consistency in IVIM models #17 and #18.

16. Dialogs RoiStats3D\RoiStats4D, common behavior:  when VROI is present in addition to raster ROI program checks if a single VROI is selected.  If single selected, then a corresponding temporary raster ROI is formed, new ROI layer  is NOT added anymore. If more than one VROI layer is selected, the stop warning is displayed.

17. Fixed naming (ADC->DDC) in Model 21: DWI Stretched exponent.

18. Implemented proposed parameter name changes in models {17,18,19,21,28}

Build 337C is released.

  1 Radiomics: implemented GLRLM feature class (16 features).

FireVoxel Build 337B is released.

 

 1. Radiomics : GLCM corrections:

    a) Pxplusy array calculation 

    b) HXY1,HXY2 calculation

2. Radiomics  GLCM: Checkerboard (64x64) AND (65X65) step (1) image:

7.  UI function: Multiframe DICOM splitting into single slice DICOM files into specified folder.

8. UI function:  "folding" of the 4D multi-echo volume into the single echo TE=0 using T2star fitting.

9. When loading DICOM as a Real Volume (with Rescale\Intercept tags present), recover the RescaleType DICOM attribute if present and display voxel units accordingly.

10. After Loading dicom  Intercept\Slope tags are cleared, since the conversion of data is performed already and the original (before rescale) pixel data is discarded.

11. Added extra Fail diagnostics into FVX document save function.

12. SAT\VAT single slice segmentation:  added a check that a single Spline is required on the selected slice. If found only that spline is rasterized (as opposed to ALL in previous veriions).
