Description: |
This plug-in
uses the JFileChooser Component with ImagePreview and multiselect
(Ctrl+Alt ,Ctrl+Shift) to open and to analyse image files to their according
stacks. The plug-in implements a standard sorter for DICOM Images
which implements a separation of Images according to the following
DICOM header tags: -
frame of reference
UID, -
image orientation, -
Image Position
Patient (Numeric sorting). -
No processing of
oblique slices is performed. First the
slices are grouped by the frame of reference UID. Second grouped by the image
orientation (angles disturb the result!). The sorter tries to detect the
stack slices direction by comparing the image position of the first two
slices. If the slice position is in one direction is larger than 0.75* slice
thickness sorting of the stack is performed according to this direction. With
the methods provided in this package adapted sorters can be easily developed.
The memory use of the java virtual
machine (ImageJ: Edit ->Options->Memory) should be adapted (>512 MB) if lots of images are
processed. |

of management for different sorters. |
