Meeting Notes

Slicer 5.8 Release

  • The update of the DCMTK version used in Slicer, from 3.6.6 to 3.6.8 (based on DCMTK commit d1fb19792 from October 2024), is nearly complete.
  • The release process for Slicer 5.8 is expected to begin next week.

SlicerSOFA Updates

  • Discussed PR #27, which introduces the SofaParameterNodeWrapper to manage data communication between MRML and SOFA.

SlicerAutoScoper

  • Reviewed a renaming issue in the Sequences module.
  • It may require a debug build and debugging tools to identify if it is a bug needing resolution.

SlicerVirtualReality

  • Ongoing work to resolve bugs with OpenXR compatibility.
  • Improved interaction with the scene would benefit SlicerHeart and other applications.
  • VR integration could be valuable for interacting with SlicerSOFA simulations.

SlicerTelemetry

  • Implemented new statistics display functionality using WebWidget.

SlicerMorphoDepot

Terminology and ColorTable

  • Moving forward with plans to unify Terminology and ColorTable functionalities.
  • Introduced a custom terminology, 99-slicer, designed to support collaborative sharing of anatomical codes (e.g., kidney.1, kidney.2, etc.).
  • Leveraging Protocols.io could be useful in supporting these custom codes.
  • Relevant pull requests and issues:
    • PR #8011: Enhances the use of standard terminology in the segments table.
    • Issue #8005: Improvements to the Terminologies module.
