Hi Dora,

well, this is strange. Is it possible that you give me/us somehow access to a 
4D image you created so that we can check?

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Many thanks for your reply. I managed to create 4D data using the methods you 
mentioned and I can navigate through the time steps. It all works fine but I've 
faced this new problem when I add the 4D object as a node to the datamanager.

The crosshair disappears from the 4 standard windows/renderers. I can still 
click on different locations of the image and it seems to respond to the mouse 
clicks. More importantly for me is that the 3D window does not render the image 
either it is just blank! It renders my 4D mesh (without the usual three planes) 
but not the 4D image. I tried to force update/render all the windows but 
nothing seemed to make any difference. Any ideas?

Many thanks again.
Dora

Hi Dora,

MITK supports 4D images as well as 4D surfaces (meshes), also commonly named 
3D+t images/meshes, as most of the time such data is technically handled as a 
series of 3D data over time. For example, many methods of mitk::Image or 
mitk::Surface have an optional parameter t (time step), which is 0 by default 
for 3D data. 3D+t data is also supported by our Workbench application as you 
can slide through the time steps in the Image Navigator (usually in the bottom 
left). Our standard image file format NRRD also supports reading and writing 
3D+t images. 3D+t DICOM images work as well. I'm not sure regarding the VTK 
file formats for surfaces but you have to be at least careful for file formats 
like STL, as they don't support 4D surfaces. For example, when you save a 4D 
surface as STL file, MITK creates a STL file for each time step, but currently 
they cannot be read in again as 3D+t surface.

If you are interested in making 3D+t data out of a series of 3D data, have a 
look at methods like mitk::Image::SetVolume() or 
mitk::Surface::SetVtkPolyData(), which have the t parameter as mentioned above. 
With the Movie Maker plugin you can even create animations of 3D+t data, for 
example, see the beating heart example at the very bottom in the Movie Maker 
documentation: http://docs.mitk.org/2015.05/org_mitk_gui_qt_moviemaker.html

Best,
Stefan

Betreff: [mitk-users] How to display motion of images and meshes in time

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody has any experience of displaying some sort of motion 
from a sequence of images and vtk meshes within the MITK platform.

My understanding was to somehow load images and meshes one by one, putting the 
thread to sleep for a second or so and then display the next item. Can I load 
all of the files at once and then dynamically access the (standard) editor to 
display them one by one?

Is there a more elegant solution? Like building some sort of a 4D image or a 4D 
mesh from data I have and then display it using one of the features of MITK ...

Many thanks
Dora
