Release Name: 2.3.0
Notes:
1. Developer
Gary Hui Zhang, garyhuizhang@gmail.com
2. License
The standard DTI-TK license
applies: http://www.nitrc.org/projects/dtitk/
3. What Does the Plugin Do?
This plugin uses the Mac OS X Leopard's built-in QuickLook
framework to enable a quick assessment of any image volume in the
supported image formats. It was initially developed to support
convenient and efficient quality assessment of diffusion-weighted
images, which can be in the order of 100 for even a single subject.
This plugin should allow these images to be examined very quickly
to catch clear defects in the images.
4. Installation
To install the plugin, simply copy (drag-and-drop from Finder) the
"DTITK_NIfTI_QuickLookPlugin.qlgenerator" either to the directory
/Library/QuickLook (if you want to make it available system wide)
or to the directory ~/Library/QuickLook (if you want to make it
available locally). Create the directory if it does not already
exist.
5. Usage
The standard Quick Look usage applies. See the instructions
provided by Apple for
detail:http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/quicklook.html
6. Supported Image Formats
The quicklook plugin supports the NIFTI-1 format as well as the
traditional Analyze format. For multi-component images, the current
implementation will display the first component image.
The FreeSurfer MGH file format is also supported, thanks to the
contribution by Nick Schmansky.
7. Getting Future Updates
Please join the DTI-TK google group to receive future announcements
of bug fixes and/or significant updates, as well as to report bugs,
post questions, or make feature
