Saving
Once a set of contour VOIs has been defined for an image study the VOI definition can be saved using one of the Save option buttons
The buttons have the following function
Save |
Saves all of the VOIs together with their names and color in a .voi file. |
Save Group |
Saves only those VOIs which are checked on the Group tab in a .voi file. |
Save as |
Saves all VOIs as DICOM structure set objects in a file. Such DICOM structure set objects can be used in image workstations and radiotherapy (RT) planning systems. As the PMOD VOI tools allow constructing VOIs which are more complex than supported by DICOM RT structure set (RTSS) definition, a dialog window asks whether a conversion should be applied |
C-Store |
This function also creates DICOM structure set objects, but allows to directly send them to an image workstation or an RT planning system using the DICOM network protocol. A dialog box pops up for selecting the target system among the configured DICOM nodes. |
Loading
Conversely, contour VOI definitions can be retrieved from files using the Load option buttons
The buttons have the following function
Load |
First removes all current VOI definitions and then loads the ones from the selected VOI files. |
Append |
Loads the VOIs from the selected file and appends them to the current VOI definitions. |
Load with |
First removes all current VOI definitions, loads the ones from the selected VOI files, and requests a spatial transformation which is applied to the VOIs. All transformations calculated in the PMOD Image Fusion tool are supported, rigid and elastic ones. |
Load RT |
First removes all current VOI definitions and then loads the VOIs from a file containing DICOM RT structure set objects. |
Append RT |
Loads the VOIs from a file containing DICOM RT structure set objects and appends them to the current VOI definitions. |
