Lets consider sending 3D image as an example. As the first step we recommend to consider compacting 3D image. It converts the image to a thicker slices representation so it gets a smaller size in megabytes. This could be important not only because of faster transferring. Fidex images have a natural isotropic resolution and can have very many axial slices. Not all workstations have a capability to work with so high resolution cubes. Thus degrading resolution sometimes is necessary because a lack of performance of 3rd party DICOM workstations. In order to perform compacting operation one should right click on the 3D image icon and choose "Compact Volume". The way data are going to be compacted (defines a slice thickness) is defined in import/export tab (on the right in Fidex GUI).
Lets consider an example. Lets assume that you want to add a head study and there are 688 slices in the folder C:\CT_Data\AnimalData\AfganHead1(3x); names are 0000.slice - 0687.slice Lets assume that the pet name is Afgan and the owner is John Smith. We also assume that you install fidex demo into default location C:\Fidex-Demo-Application\bin\fidexGUI.exe
<patient pid="7" pet-name="Afgan" owner-last-name="Smith" owner-first-name="John"> <study sid="7" study-name="Study of head" thumb=""> <image iid="7" type="dbdtCube" thumb="" path="/demo/AfganHead/*.slice"> </image> </study> </patient> The red color above identify the record number, pet and owner name , image location, and file names. If you do not have special tools to edit XML files then use WordPad. XML uses long rows of text: we would recommend to set A2 page format, landscape orientation for convenient editing. Please see: original demo-data.xml and modified demo-data-afgan.xml Right click on the 3D CT icon . From the drop down menu select "Open Data Folder". |
