Is it possible to reconstruct a panoramic view as is often used in dentistry and if not, are there any plans to add that capability? Thank you.

Operating system: MAC 10.13 (High Sierra)  
Slicer version: 4.6.2  
Expected behavior:  
Actual behavior:

There is no panoramic view but you can set up curved multi-planar reconstruction view:

It would not take too much time to create a module that sets this up by a few clicks and you could also generate an image stack or projection image (traditional 2D panoramic view) using this approach or as described in [this VTK journal article](http://www.vtkjournal.org/browse/publication/838). If you are willing to contribute some development time or funding then you can make it happen soon, otherwise you need to wait for someone else’s contribution. There has been [interest in improving Slicer usability for dentistry](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/kruvi-crowdfunding-slicer-extension-development/2026), but I’m not sure if anything materialized.

Use the latest stable version (4.8.1).

Hi Andras,

thanks for the mention. We’re still running the crowdfunding campaign for that [project](https://bthbdental.com/kruvi) until the end of next month and the functionality described above is a key component of our workflow.

So far there have been a few commitments, most of them from small labs/individual dentists rather than research groups. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Kind regards,

Mihai

Is it possible to do a panoramic reconstruction, a view dentists often use, in Slicer? And if so, how?

Thank you.
