User Interface

PFUSEIT organizes the available tasks on different pages which are explained in the sections below.

Basically, the DB Load page serves for image loading from databases, Matching for image registration, image algebra and VOI definition, Comparison for the parallel visualization of up to six matched images, and MIP for the generation of rotating fused MIP images.

Taskbar

The taskbar on the right side of the application window provides shortcut buttons for frequent tasks. Please note the tooltips for hints regarding the button functionality.

picture_7505

Load images.

picture_7506

Appending toggle button: With picture_7506 the current INP list is cleared when loading a new INP series. With picture_7523 the loaded series are appended to the existing INP list.  

picture_7507

Clear all data from PFUSEIT.

picture_7508

Swap the role of the REF and the current INP.

picture_7509

Opens the saving dialog window.

picture_7510

Initial rearrangement of the INP images by mirroring and rotations with the panel
picture_7535

This may be helpful to bring the images into a standard orientation at start.

 

HFS_ButtonTaskBar Reformat input image to the Standard orientation.

RearrangementTaskBarRef

picture_7511 Initial rearrangement of the REF images by mirroring and rotations.

HFS_ButtonTaskBar Reformat reference image to the Standard orientation.

ReferenceIsotropicInterpolation Performs isotropic interpolation of the reference image to the smallest pixel size.

picture_7512

Initial reslicing of the INP images with arbitrary translations and rotations in the reslicing panel. This functionality is used for manual matching.

picture_7536

picture_7513

Initial reslicing of the REF images by arbitrary translations and rotations with the reslicing panel. For instance, tilted reference images should usually be straightened before matching.  

MaskingTaskBar

Allows preparing input or reference mask

ConfigureMaskTaskBar

Allows configuring the masking of the input or reference image with an existing mask image

picture_7514

picture_7518

Hide the control area for more image space. Activate a second time to show controls again.  

picture_7519

Context-sensitive help, pointing to the html documentation.

picture_7520

Reset all configurations to the default values.

picture_7521

"Run all" button to start a matching workflow without interaction.

Hidden Controls
