AIM on ClearCanvas

DISCLAIMER: These tests were performed by Andrey Fedorov using publicly available version of the software, since no response was obtained from the AIM on ClearCanvas group.

1.Description of the platform/product:

2.Description of the relevant features of the platform:

  • are both single and multiple segments supported? yes
  • how are the overlapping segments handled? semi-transparent color overlay (see screenshot below showing both AIMonClearCanvas and Brainlab datasets from the Read task)

  • do you support both BINARY and FRACTIONAL segmentation types? only BINARY can be displayed; SEGs that are saved as FRACTIONAL will be read as BINARY (i.e., no mapping to fractional occupancy or probability will be done)
  • do you render the segment using the color specified in the DICOM object? yes
  • how do you communicate segment semantics to the user? the user can trigger display of the panel showing the semantic information for the displayed segment (see screenshot below)

  • how do you support the user in defining the semantics of the object at the time segmentation is created? user can select from a pre-defined list of terms

3.Read task: load each of the DICOM SEG datasets that accompany the imaging series into your platform

4.Write task

Andrey Fedorov could not understand how to use the software interface to generate new segments.
