Creation of Template VOIs

An image series for which a set of contour VOIs has been defined can easily be converted into a template as follows:

  1. Load the image series in the PVIEW tool.
  2. Outline a set of contour VOIs in the VOIs page.
  3. On the Group tab, select the VOIs to be included in the template.
    Important: do NOT include VOIs (such as a whole-brain VOI) which cover other VOIs.
  4. Activate the button Create Template Atlas on the Tools tab.

A dialog window appears which requests a name for template. Using this name a subdirectory with is created in resources/templates/voitemplates, where the image series is saved in NifTI format, and a text file with the VOI names is created. After activating the refresh button Refresh Button in the Atlas pane of Template, the new template appears and can be used for statistics.
