2.  Model #4 - added hyperparameters  {Start,End} to process only the range of points.

Build 274 is released.

1. Algorithmic work for Lung GRASP 4D fully automatic segmentation.  Working on 5 cases of Deep+Normal breathing trying to achieve a good result so lung spirometry measurements can be performed.

2.  Fixed the memory leak in Bical function.

3.  Corrected the allocated size of each memory block for Volume slice, so it is no more than required.  It also resulted in smaller system memory use and accurate resource usage reporting.

4.  BiCal with  "Output Field" option now otput "double precision Real" volume.

5.  Fixed defect when volume is converted to isotropic for processing and then back to original resolution, so there are no void voxels on the fringe.

7.  Fixed memory leak in DetectRelativeRidge function.

8.  Detected and removed all memory leaks from Lung\Trachea 4D segmentation.

9.  Optimized speed of  MemVol -> SetBox -> (MemVol) function which is the basis of many other
functions.  This reduced the time of Lung segmentation results  construction (not segmentation itself) x3 times.

10.  Parallelized CreateBasicDicomHeader function which is basis of many functions on UI.

FireVoxel Build 273 is released.

1. Corrected Multi-modal registration using crosscorrelation measure.

3. VolumeSmooth in 2D:  implemented a pure, fully parallel 2D function.  It is D-times faster,
where D is the diameter of the apperture than the previous version.  D can be quite large  20-50 in
some segmentation scenarios.

4.  Developed morphological segmentation "Unlump ROI" procedure.
Applied to Lungs ROI.  When lungs are segmented, usually both lungs ROI is lumped together and to other small objects.  Unlump procedure runs and then we take 2 largest connected components.

5. Implemented an initial prototype of fully automatic Lung segmentation from MRI
GRASP-4D exam.

6.  Implemented the Volumetric Time Profile dialog.

7.  Implemented the Lung Static split based on   ROI Union algorithm.  Applied the volumetric time profile dialog to it.

9.  Introduce the Roi Compression switch ON\OFF which can be called withing heavy computation procedure to substantially speed up calculation, without involving Users input into  User Interface Options.

10.  In multiprojection view with the synchronized cursor:  allow now to scroll through time synchroniously.

11. VolumeSmooth function: added the processor test for AVX2 capabilities.

12.  Change to menu item Volume>Change Volume Type function.  Added ROI->to->Integer conversion UI item.

13.  Implemented first prototype of fully automatic trachea segmentation from 4D MRI GRASP.

14.  Added the spirometry measures {FEV1,FVC} to Volumetric profile curve dialog.

15.  Implemented a new scheme to reduce the DICOM header size stored with each slice.  Space reduction is x2.

16. Implemented a single dialog to specify 3 integer values. This serves as the dialog for Lung splitting at the moment.

Achieved new result in Chest Wall segmentation from GRASP data.

FireVoxel Build 269D is released.

1.  Texture  Analysis Batch:  fixed defect when disabled layers were processed too.
2. Texture  Analysis Batch:  fixed the text format defect in the results (.17g)

the resolutions are displayed and option is offered to proceed and change the new layer resolution
to the base.

FireVoxel 269C is released

1.  Fixed defect in RoiStats3D\Blob Statistic when blob can contain some void voxels.

2.  Rolled back to 269A and reimplemented changes of 269B.

1. ROI colume Save to DICOM:  removed the dialog specifying the change of encoded bits.


2. Fixed defect with constructing DICOM  TAG_STUDY_UID when volumes originated from data other than DICOM. This allows outside packages to load volume with all slices.




3. Removed the MainMenu>File>Save DICOM Extended option and merged the functionality with the >Save DICOM function.

4.  Dialog RoiStats3D:  Save Stats - increased the text output precision of real numbers to the full possible precision.

3.  Fixed defect when  Volume was not loading with "SVD error" message.

4.  Texture Analysis Batch:  corrected the defect so that only Enabled volumes are analyzed.

5.  Fixed defect in  Volume>Convert Integer to Real.  Incorrect volume type was previously produced.
