== Reviewing statistics on a single VOI and VOI groups ==
  
 +
The [[Calculating VOI statistics#StatisticsGenerator | Statistics Generator]] command on the VOI menu in the MIPAV window opens the [[Calculating statistics on VOI groups | Calculate Statistics on VOI Groups]] window, which allows you to obtain statistics on [[Delineating volumes of interest (VOIs)| a single VOI]] or on multiple [[Delineating volumes of interest (VOIs)#StatisticsVoiGroups | grouped VOIs]]. You can save the statistics to a tab-delimited file, which can then be incorporated into a database. For more information, refer to [[Calculating statistics on VOI groups]] page.

The Logging page of the [[Calculating statistics on VOI groups | Calculate Statistics on VOI Groups dialog box]] displays the [[Calculating VOI statistics | VOI statistics]] in the tabular form. Whether or not you chose a type of statistic on the Statistics Options page, the table includes a heading for each type. Blanks cells in the table indicate that you did not choose to obtain that particular type of statistics.

Each time you calculate the statistics for a VOI the Statistics Generator adds another row of statistics to the table. Note that the first column in the table lists the name of the VOI and, if appropriate, the slice and contour numbers. Also, you can change the width of each of the columns in the table by dragging the line between the columns in the heading.

=== Saving images as ===

MIPAV uses the file extension to save image into various formats. Thus, saving an image with the extension of <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">TIFF </font>''</span>causes the image to be saved as a TIFF image. Saving an image with the extension of <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">IMG</font>''</span> causes the image to be saved as an Analyze image. See [MIPAV_AppCSupportedFormats.html#1330116 Table 1] for file extensions supported by MIPAV.

Aliases make it easy to locate images, a feature that may be attractive if you work with the same images for a period of time. However, you may prefer instead to use the style of Open and Save dialog boxes that are provided with the operating system of your computer. To do so, you need to select the Use platform-style File dialog boxes check box in the MIPAV Options dialog box. See [MIPAV_QuickStart.html#1994088 Figure 50 on page 75].<br /></font></div>

If this check box is selected and your computer is running Microsoft Windows, MIPAV displays the Windows style of Open and Save dialog boxes. If you use a Sun terminal, when this check box is selected, MIPAV displays the standard Unix-style Open and Save dialog boxes. On Apple MacIntosh computers, MIPAV displays dialog boxes that are standard with that operating system.

=== Debugging MIPAV ===
+
−
 
+
−
You can track debugging information and error messages generated by MIPAV during a session by placing it in debug mode. If errors occur during the session, the program displays any error messages in the Output window on the Debug page. By default, the debug mode is off when you start the program.

The history includes the specific parameters that were set for the action. In addition, if you save the images as XML, the history of actions and their parameters appears in the dataset attributes section near the beginning of the MIPAV header file (the XML file). Each action appears between the &lt;HISTORY&gt; and &lt;/HISTORY&gt; tags.<br /></font></div>

|}Several algorithms and utilities offer a choice of either generating a new image (New image check box) or replacing the original image (Replace image check box). If you choose New image and want to see the actions performed on that image, you must select Image &gt; Attributes &gt; Edit Attributes to open an Image Attributes dialog box for the new image. If, however, you select Replace image, the History page on the Image Attributes dialog box for the original image displays the actions.</div> <div class="CellBody">To illustrate this point, open a sample image; select Image &gt; Attributes &gt; Edit Attributes to display the Image Attributes dialog box; and select History to display the History page. Perform an action such as Utilities &gt; Image Margins, mark New image in the dialog box, and then click OK. Notice that the action does not appear on the History page. Click on the new image; select Image &gt; Attributes &gt; Edit Attributes; and select History. The History page shows the AddImageMargins action for the new image.</div>

For example, suppose you normally work with medical files (files whose extensions are .dcm, .xml, .ima, .img, .mnc, .sig, .head, etc.). In this situation, when opening or saving images, you want to see only the medical files, not other file types. One of the ways of customizing MIPAV is the ability to show only specific types of files by default.<br /></font></div>

Before you create a plug-in, you should have a strong understanding of the underlying structure of MIPAV's software design and data structure. Because plug-ins are written in Java, you should also have a basic understanding of that programming language. After you create the plug-in, you must then install it. Once it is installed, you can access it from the Plug-Ins menu in the main MIPAV window. Plug-ins are addressed in Chapter 12, "Developing Plug-in Programs", in the <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">MIPAV User's Guide</font>''</span>.<br /></font></div>

Reviewing statistics on a single VOI and VOI groups

The Statistics Generator command on the VOI menu in the MIPAV window opens the Calculate Statistics on VOI Groups window, which allows you to obtain statistics on a single VOI or on multiple grouped VOIs. You can save the statistics to a tab-delimited file, which can then be incorporated into a database. For more information, refer to Calculating statistics on VOI groups page.

Viewing VOI statistics

Calculate Statistics on VOI Groups dialog box - the Logging page

The Logging page of the Calculate Statistics on VOI Groups dialog box displays the VOI statistics in the tabular form. Whether or not you chose a type of statistic on the Statistics Options page, the table includes a heading for each type. Blanks cells in the table indicate that you did not choose to obtain that particular type of statistics.

Each time you calculate the statistics for a VOI the Statistics Generator adds another row of statistics to the table. Note that the first column in the table lists the name of the VOI and, if appropriate, the slice and contour numbers. Also, you can change the width of each of the columns in the table by dragging the line between the columns in the heading.

You can include and review the statistics file in a database or in a spreadsheet program by double-clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer window and, in the Open with dialog box, selecting the application in which you want to open the file.

When the number of rows in the table exceeds the length of the Logging page, scroll bars appear on the right side of the table to allow you to scroll from the beginning or to the end of the table.

If at any time you want to clear, or erase, all of the rows of the table, select Options > Clear log window. The complete table disappears from the Logging page, which is now totally gray.

Overwriting statistics files

A warning message
Overwrite file automatically

If you previously ran the Statistics Generator and obtained statistics, after you click Calculate a message appears stating that a statistics file already exists. It asks whether to overwrite the file or to cancel the action. If you not want to overwrite the file, click Cancel. The following warning message appears.

Return to the VOI selection page and choose another file name in the VOI statistic file destination box. Then click Calculate to obtain the new set of statistics. The Statistics Generator calculates the statistics and saves them in the file that you indicated. The statistics appear on the Logging page.

If it's all right to overwrite the file,click Overwrite. The Statistics Generator calculates the statistics and overwrites the previously recorded statistics file.

Tip: If you always want the Statistics Generator to overwrite the file, either select Options > Overwrite file automatically or press Alt O.

Generating graphs (intensity profiles)

MIPAV can generate a graph of the intensity values of a region bound by a VOI. You can then save this graph or intensity profile, to a file for future reference.

Generating new graphs

You can generate an intensity profile for any VOI. To generate a graph of a VOI:

  1. Select a VOI in an image window.
  2. Use the right mouse button to call the context menu, then select one of the following:
  • Graph > Boundary Intensity
  • Graph > Total Intensity
  • Graph > Average Intensity
  • Graph > Total Intensity with Threshold
  • Graph > Average Intensity with Threshold
  • The chosen Intensity Graph window appears. Each function on the graph represents the intensity levels within each channel.
  • Close the graph by either selecting File > Close graph or pressing Ctrl + x.
    • Intensity profiles
    The Graph menu
    Boundary intensity
    Total intensity
    Average intensity
    Intensity with a given threshold
    Average intensity with a given threshold

    Saving and printing graphs

    Saving and printing intensity profiles

    To save a graph to a file:

    1. Select File > Save graph in the Intensity Graph window or press Ctrl S. The Save dialog box appears.
    2. Type a name for the graph in File name.
    3. Make sure that Graphs (.plt) appears in Files of type.
    4. Click Save. MIPAV saves the file under a specified name.

    To print graphs:

    1. Select File > Print graph in the Intensity Graph window. The Print dialog box appears.
    2. In the dialog box, select the printer and adjust the print options if necessary.
    3. Click OK to print the graph or image on your default printer.
