MedImGVisual

Description

MedImGVisual is a visualization tool for exploring MRI, CT, and digitized pathology images in 3D. It supports files with extensions such as:

• DICOM series (.DCM)
• MHA
• VTI

The tool has been tested with datasets from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA).

Key Features

1. 3D Visualization:

   • Render volumetric images in 3D with real-time interaction.

2. Multi-Planar Views:

   • Explore axial, coronal, and sagittal views.

3. Interactive Widgets:

   • Interact with 2D images and customize segmentation of body parts using your preferred colors, based on the Hounsfield scale.

Technology Stack

• Programming Language: C++
• Libraries:
  • ITK for image processing.
  • VTK for rendering, with Qt integration for GUI development.
  • QT for GUI development.
• Rendering: Uses VTK built with Qt integration to manage different OpenGL views seamlessly.

How to Build

Basic Build

-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1 is used for exporting compile_commands.json for the clangd LSP.

mkdir build
cmake ../source -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1

Build Using vcpkg

mkdir build
cmake ../source -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1

vcpkg.json

{
  "dependencies": [
    {
      "name": "itk",
      "features": [
        "vtk"
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "vtk",
      "features": [
        "opengl",
        "qt"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Problem with vcpkg and Qt usage:

Use the command
'/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/tools/Qt6/bin/windeployqt.exe ./{executable}'
for importing appropriate libraries.

Important: Compile in release mode because it won't work in debug mode.

cmake --build . --config Release
