AMIDE
A Medical Image Data Examiner (AMIDE) is an open source tool
for viewing, analyzing, and
registering anatomical and functional volumetric medical imaging data
sets.
AMIDE has the ability to simultaneously handle
multiple data sets imported from a variety of file formats, image
fusion, 3D region of interest drawing and analysis, volume rendering,
and rigid body
alignments.
The software has been designed from the ground up with
support for multi-modality imaging. AMIDE can work with and
display a large number of objects simultaneous (limited only by
available memory). These include data set, Regions of Interest,
Fiducial Mark, and Study.
The software has been written on top of
GTK+, and runs on any system that supports this toolkit.
Features include:
- Abitrary orientation, thickness, and time period slice
viewing of a data set
- Multiple data sets can be loaded and viewed at once, with
either linked or fused views. Each data set can be viewed from any
orientation. Fusing can be done by blending or overlay
- Nearest Neighbor and Trilinear interpolation functions
- Zooming
- The following colormaps are supported:
Black/White,White/Black,Red/Green/Blue Temperature, Hot
Metal/Blue/Green, Spectrum, NIH/UCLA
- Thresholding: data sets are thresholded independently.
Data sets can be thresholded over the entire data set or over each slice
- 3-dimensional ROI's can be drawn directly on the images
and statistics can be generated for these ROI's. Currently supported
ROI's are ellipsoids, elliptic cylinder's, boxes, and isocontours
- Imports raw data files (8bit,16bit,32bit,float,etc). Also
imports Acr/Nema 2.0, Analyze (SPM), DICOM 3.0, InterFile3.3, ECAT 6/7,
and Gif87a/89a (using the (X)medcon/libmdc)
- Imports most clinical DICOM files (using the DCMTK
library)
- Allows cropping and clearing regions of data sets
- Anisotropic filtering wizard. Current filters: Gaussian,
1D Median, and 3D Median
- Saves studies (ROI and Data Set data) as XML data
- Series of slices can be viewed
- Fly through movies can be generated as MPEG1 files
- True volume rendering support with the capability of
rendering multiple data sets at a time. Series of renderings can be
saved as MPEG1 movies. Data sets can also be rendered as stereoscopic
image pairs
- Alignment Wizard. Alignment of data sets is supported using
fiducial
markers. This is done by placing fiducial reference points on the data
sets to be aligned, and then running an alignment wizard to perform a
rigid body transformation (procrustes method)
- A profile tool is included that can calculate gaussian
fits and FWHM's of the generated line profiles. Profiles can also be
saved for external use
