SPHARM analysis of 3D slicer

Community SlicerSALT

Hello, experts!

Recently, I want to use the 3D Slicer expansion module, SPHARM, to analyze the condylar models of the same patient in different periods. I used 3d-slicer to complete the registration and segmentation of CBCT images of condyle in different periods, and then used itk-snap to complete the modeling and export them to VTK format, but when I imported folder, which contained the condyle VTK files, into the SPHARM module for shape analysis, the first and second steps can be completed, but the third step：ParaToSPHARMMesh completed with errors. The following shows the error points indicated by 3D Slicer, Can someone help me see where the problem is?
Operating system:win 10
version:3D Slicer 4.10.2

Thanks in advance!

When I used SlicerSALT for SPHARM analysis of the same file, ONLY the third step completed with errors, as shown below. Does anyone know where the problem is?
Case 0: 1111 - step 3: ParaToSPHARMMesh completed with errors
loadNodeFromFile returnNode argument is deprecated. Loaded node is now returned directly if returnNode is not specified.

Hi Kaiwen,

Thank you for using SPHARM! Could you please try to repeat this process with the preview version of Slicer or using our SlicerSALT package?

Thank you very much for your reply!
I tried to reanalyze the data using slicersalt 2.2.0.I changed the number of iterations to 100, and the other parameters remain default.
The first and second steps can be completed, but the third step:ParaToSPHARMMesh completed with errors.
Python Interactor showed me the following information:

Is this problem due to my mistake in operation or other reasons？
I look forward to your reply！Thank you in advance！

What other information do I need to provide to help you analyze this problem?

What is the content of your paratospharm mesh folder?

Hi ,Beatriz Paniagua!
I followed your advice and used the 4.8.0 version of 3D slicer for SPHARM analysis.
Surprisingly, when I import the VTK model file into 3D slicer, I can complete three steps of analysis. Here is a screenshot of the file contained in the third step folder, paratosparm.

Does this mean that I have finished the SPHARM analysis？
