NAME

vnoddisp − Display the results of nodule detection on a 2D coronal projection

SYNOPSIS

vnoddisp [-H] [if=<inputfile>] [ip=<inputfile>] [of=<outputfile>] [og=<outputfile>] [op=<outputfile>] [df=<inputfile>] [cn=] [gif=] [zs=] [zr=] [xr=] [-d] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

vnoddisp displays the results of nodule detection on a 2D coronal projection. The required inputs are the original scan and a textfile with the location of nodule candidates (from vdetect). An optional input ip= can specify an existing coronal projection if it has already been generated.

The output of= is a coronal projection with X’s marking the locations of the nodule candidates. The optional output og= is a 3D scan with nodule locations marked on each slice. The optional output op= is the coronal projection image without nodules marked. Finally, gif= will output a gif identical to of=.

If a current nodule cn= is specified (by number), that nodule is colored differently than the rest.

vnoddisp can also be run to generate HTML code that displays the images on the web and generates links to analyze the nodule candidates by clicking on them. This mode of operation runs when no output image is specified. Also note that the HTML code is dependant on the size of the input image. If no input image is specified, declaring zs=, zr=, and xr= (from vps -iw) will still allow this mode to operate.

OPTIONS

if=

Input Image - 3D CT scan

ip=

Input Image (optional) - Coronal proection (if it has already been generated for this scan.

of=

Output File - 2D coronal projection with nodule candidates marked. Not specifying this argument will genarate HTML code.

og=

Output File - (optional) 3D CT scan with nodule candidates marked on axial slices op= Output File - (optional) 2D coronal projection (with no nodules marked) gif= Output File - (optional) replica of of= as a .gif file cn= Current Nodule - color nodule cn a different color than the rest

-v

Verbose mode

-d

Debug mode - Do no delete tmp files

HTML Mode

The following options may be specified to generate HTML output if no input file is specified:

zs=

The size in the z-dimension

zr=

The resolution in the z-dimension

xr=

The resolution in x-dimension

CONSTRAINTS
