Version 5.x.x change list

5.0.0 (07/09/2010)

• MIPAV now requires Java 1.6 or higher to run.

• File handling
  • NRRD: Fixed bug writing the header for 4D images.
  • DICOM: Fixed file pointer boundary condition check for some DICOM files.
  • DICOM: Improved read/write compatibility for some DICOM files.
  • DICOM: Fixed handling of DICOM dictionary entries with wildcard element numbers (related to DICOM overlays and curves).
  • DICOM: Fixed an issue opening images as multifile when the file names were just numbers without a file extension or non-numeric prefix.
  • DICOM: Fixed problem saving orientation matrix for some 4D files.
  • DICOM: Improved updating of (0020,0032) and image origin when writing to disk.
  • DICOM: Fixed a problem converting points to/from scanner space.
  • DICOM: Fixed file separator character and character alignment bug in DICOM DIR utility.
  • NIFTI: Eliminated extra disk write when saving nii.gz/zip/bz2 files.
  • NIFTI: Fixed writing of nii.gz/zip/bz2 files via a script.
  • NIFTI: If writing a DICOM image as NIFTI, the tag (0020,0037) is used to fill the rotation matrix if none was specifically set by the user.
  • NIFTI: Fixed qmat and smat replacement from the Image attributes dialog.
  • NIFTI: Added very basic support for reading header extensions.
  • MINC: Eliminated extra disk write when saving mnc.gz/zip/bz2 files.
  • MINC: Fixed some issues converting DICOM tags stored in Minc2 files when writing out to DICOM (private and sequence tags stored in the Minc2 as byte arrays are still discarded and big endian encoding is assumed).
  • MINC: Added support for 4D Minc2 images.
  • MINC: Fixed reading/writing of Minc2 files with data scaling.
  • PARREC: Added read support for volumes where the 4D dataset is sorted by volume, instead of by slice.
  • Fixed writing of unsigned integer data in a number of formats.
  • Fixed boolean support for a number of file formats.
  • Improved performance of a number of image data reader methods, which has sped up compressed file reading considerably.
  • Removed the option to save a MIPAV XML header when writing out Analyze files.
  • Fixed some instances where FileUtility methods were not properly trimming white space from file names and paths.

• Algorithms and utilities
  • Despot algorithms renamed to Tre, with improved 4D processing, parallelism, scripting and JIST support.
  • Improvements to SM2 algorithm.
  • Improvements to Thin plate spline registration.
  • Improvements to Constrained non-linear fitting algorithm.
  • Image calculator modified to allow n-1 dimensional images to be selected for the multiplication operation only. Also, fixed spacing of image names and radio buttons.
  • Correlation ratio now selected as default OAR/BSpline registration cost function for all grayscale images.
  • Removed a number of algorithms and utilities from the source tree that were no longer being used.
  • Fixed a problem in Talairach transform where the origin was not being updated properly and axis orientations when going from acpc to orig or tlrc to orig were not correct.
  • Added JIST support to most algorithms and utilities. Some of the more complex algorithms are not supported, yet.
  • The Convert type utility now has the option to retain the same file info header as the original image for some file formats.
  • Fixed a bug in the Swap dims utility when exchanging dims 1 and 4.
  • The Add margins utility and Transform algorithm now properly update the DICOM extent tags (0028,0010) and (0028,0011)
  • Added inverse (1/intensity) operation to Image math utility. If intensity is 0, the pixel is set to Float.NaN.

• VOIs and paint
  • Changed underlying VOI structures to better support 3D. Many VOI-related features are now available from the Triplanar and GPU-based Volume renderer views. A number of VOI methods have been deprecated (or removed, if deprecation was not an option). If you have plugins that use the VOI system, you will want to test to ensure compatibility.
  • Added toolbar buttons for 3D VOI intersection and union.
  • Saving VOIs no longer causes the DICOM matrix to be saved as well for some images.
  • Improved data output along with the VOI boundary intensity graph.
  • Writing of .voi files is no longer allowed. They can still be opened to allow for backward compatibility. Users should write out all VOIs in XML format.
  • Added coordinate-space element to voi.xsd and text.xsd to better support switching between saving voxel and scanner coordinates.

• Image views and visualization
  • Fixed image linking in the Triplanar view.
  • Improved Triplanar view support for 4D volumes.

• Miscellaneous
  • Removed the option to show platform dependent file chooser dialogs.
  • Refactored slice, time and imageA/B blending sliders to be more consistent.
  • Removed SwingWorker version 3 in favor of using the Java 1.6 SwingWorker.
  • Fixed quick list problem that sometimes caused the wrong file to be opened.
  • Moved MipavMath class to package gov.nih.mipav.util.
  • Refactored contents of gov.nih.mipav.util package to remove unused classes and create new ones as needed (ArrayUtil, ThreadUtil).
