Introduction

Overview

QuantitativeReporting is an 3D Slicer extension to support segmentation-based measurements with DICOM-based import and export of the results. The extension comes with a variety of plugins for loading DICOM Segmentations, Parametric Maps and Structured reports into Slicer.

Capabilities of QuantitativeReporting Include:

• Loading of DICOM image series (CT, MRI)

• Interactive image annotation using automated segmentation tools of 3D Slicer

• Automatic calculation of segmentation-based measurements statistics

• Saving of the segmentation-based measurements as a linked collection of DICOM objects:

  • DICOM Structured Report TID 1500

  • DICOM Segmentation

• Loading and display of the volumetric measurements from SR+SEG
