Updated the IDIF user interface and algorithm:
a) Adding a drop down combo box where user can select the direction {X,Y,Z} of the Vessel.
b) Adding an experimental option {Auto} for the direction of the vessel.  In this mode, all 3 directions will be checked and the largest (by voxel count) resulting vessel would be selected.

New features seem to provide a substantial improvement in usability and quality of the result. F.e. in liver, we would like to always work in Axial projection where the Portal Vein direction is often along {X,Y} axis.

So in new version, user does not have to choose the direction of the vessel.  So for portal vein the "Auto" direction is set by default.

Another change is that the seed does not have to cover the vessel.  Instead, it is only assumed that the center of the seed should be very close to the vessel in question.

Provided a basic documentation for Liver DCDI registration workflow.

Corrected defect:  In all 3D registrations 2 documents should be present.  The selected document is used as a Target of the registration.  However, if more than 2 document are present, the selection of Source document is sometimes incorrect.  Now the warning would be issued when more than one possible Source document is present.

Added new UI function:   "MainMenu>Volume>Crop4D - Current dynamic point only"

Fixed the defect of gross misregistration in liver DCDI exam.  New default setting for all parameters were explored and set.  All the gross misregistration cases are fixed. Results are not stellar, but for large proportion of timepoint the movement across the axial plane is greatly reduce.
Further work will be done as needed but result is good enough for now.

Defect corrected: when 3D volume is converted to 4D using the "MainMenu>Volume>Convert 3D to 4D" function, dynamic information (such a timepoints) is not set properly in the new volume.

Developing UI function:   " MainMenu>Volume>Crop timepoints".  This function takes 4D volume.
User specify comma-deliniated set of timepoints such as "1,3,5,7".  Function outputs another 4D volume containing only the specified timepoints. This is a very important function for troubleshooting the 4D registration.

FireVoxel Build 135B is released.

Real Valued volumes (such as PET and parametric maps):  fixed defect when after the cropping such volumes where transformed into the Integer Volume class.

Dialog  Registration 3D\4D:

Further simplified and compacted by conveniently grouping the translation fields in the AutoFocus panel.

PET-to-MR registration:  Achieved a very good registration result on the difficult case "MG".  Problem was that PET image was rotated by 12 degrees with the respect to MR just in one axis Z.
Default registration parameters were "widened" to accommodate such enormous displacements. Also switch default registration measure from MI (mutual info) to URAL (gradients).

Enabled the following User Interface-level functions for PET volumes:
a) Advance to the timepoint of Max Info
b) Optimize ViewFilter setting for the current timepoint

Continue to simplify code in numerous locations due to inclusion of the DIM3D field into the FRAME structure.

Small fixes related to the PET4D<->MR4D registration.  Build 135A is released.

FireVoxel Build 135 is released.

Finalized the algorithm and User interface for the 2 way "PET register to Anatomy" function.
Presently, {PET3D,PET4D}<->{MR3D,MR4D} can be registered. If both source and target are 4D user is given a choice for which one to keep in 4D.

All the additional layers (such as ROIs) are transformed properly.

Restoring the Automatic Build Test as it presently crashes. This is routine after substantial code changes.

Optimized API calls (remover the AddLayerByCrop\LoadDocumentByCrop) for document\layer loading.
Parallelized the internal DICOM header creation.

PET4D+ROIs  registration to MRI4D+ROIs is finished.  When timelines are merged, new 4D volumes created for the merged timeline.  This results in substantial memory overhead at the moment. Implementing the design for efficient memory handling when the redundant timepoints are present.

Paralellized the  "Crop Out void voxels from Volume" function (part of the registration).
