Hello
I’ve used slicer for measuring muscle volume change offer 4-time points threshold effect. I’ve compared two different MRI sequences but covered a quite similar area. The volume changes are different between the two sequences. Do you have any explanation or studies discuss this issue?
What is the percentage difference?
Can you attach a few screenshots that show the different segmentations?
These are from the same subject. actually, I’ve run measurements for 8 subjects two thighs the results not consistent. even the percentage change between visits, as the scan repeated 3 times after specific intervention.
the 2nd issue I’ve found slicer 10.2 the best. the others 10.0 and 11 versions have not worked perfectly.
thanks
What are the the total volumes that you measure on the different images? What is the voxel spacing of your volumes (you can see that in Volumes module / Volume information section)?
In general, newer Slicer versions work better. If you encounter any specific issues then let us know.
Hello
the total volume I’ve used is the last column (O) volume(3) as I’ve run a test on phantom and it was the most correct one.
please find the dimensions of the images as screenshots. They are different but I thought the change of muscle volume in both sequences would be similar but it is not.
- yes I’ve found the contrast adjust effect it is changed in the new slicer. perfect
Thanks a lot, Mr Andras for your support
