Hi Robert,

Thank you for your reporting.  Please join our user's mailing list at
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fusionviewer-users so that =
you
can get up-to-date information about FusionViewer.

The MetaIO link in FusionViewer User's Guide has been updated.  You =
check the
link at =
http://fusionviewer.sourceforge.net/docs/FusionViewerUsersGuide.pdf.
The User's Guide has also been updated for the demo package at
http://fusionviewer.sourceforge.net/demo/FusionViewer-demo_mac.tar.gz =
and
http://fusionviewer.sourceforge.net/demo/FusionViewer-demo_win.zip

The alpha version of FusionViewer has not been tested using NRRD format
image. And if possible, could you please send your image to me so that I =
can
test it?=20

I was a little confused by your words "switching to MetaIO", did you use =
the
executable file called "Dicom2MetaIO"?  Or did you just specify the =
MetaIO
image by using ".mhd" extension?

And we are working on the exception reporting functions as well as the
display window helps.  You can expect these functions to be added and/or
improved in the Beta version. =20

Regards,

Annie

Hi Annie,

Welcome back - congrats on the visa!

Just wanted to let you know some problems I had with FusionViewer.

First off, the link you give in the documentation for MetaIO appears to =
be
out-of-date:  I had no luck with it.  I found documentation, however, at
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/MetaIO.

Before I found that, I tried using NRRD.  I couldn't get it to work - it =
may
be that I did not format things correctly.  However, the way that
FusionViewer responded was not ideal: it sat and thought forever, no =
error
reported, no image displayed.

After switching to MetaIO, I made mistakes on my first several tries and
again found no error reporting or help.  In one case I had the wrong
dimensions for the array - I think I said it was 600 slices but it was =
only
256 - and FusionViewer crashed.

I'm not much further yet - I did get an image up, but I'm not really =
ready
for image display yet - I was just trying to figure it out while waiting =
for
programs to run.  I'll let you know how I come along - I'm going to try =
and
use FusionViewer for the image display for my InfoSNM presentation.
