✨ InVesalius — the manual page, but make it slay ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because I'm about to tell you about InVesalius — that's the General Commands Manual entry for it, section 1, and yes it's giving main character energy in the medical-imaging world 💅

💖 NAME 💖

InVesalius — 3D medical imaging reconstruction software. That's it, that's the whole name section, no notes. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Like, here's how you actually summon it:

invesalius3 [-d] [-i <dicom_folder>]

invesalius3 [-d] [<invesalius_project_file>]

Two whole vibes: either you hand it a folder of DICOMs, or you hand it a project file. Choose your fighter. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So InVesalius generates 3D medical imaging reconstructions based on a sequence of 2D DICOM files acquired with CT or MRI equipment. It's internationalized — currently available in English, Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, Greek and Chinese — and it provides several tools, and when I say several I mean several:

  • DICOM support including: (a) ACR-NEMA version 1 and 2; (b) DICOM version 3.0 (including various encodings of JPEG — lossless and lossy —, RLE)
  • Image manipulation features (zoom, pan, rotation, brightness/contrast, etc.)
  • Segmentation based on 2D slices
  • Pre-defined threshold ranges according to tissue of interest
  • Edition tools (similar to Paint Brush) based on 2D slices
  • 3D surface creation
  • 3D surface connectivity tools
  • 3D surface exportation (including: binary STL, OBJ, VRML, Inventor)
  • High-quality volume rendering projection
  • Pre-defined volume rendering presets
  • Volume rendering crop plane
  • Picture exportation (including: BMP, TIFF, JPG, PostScript, POV-Ray)

no cap, that's a whole toolbox. 🧰✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

One bullet per flag, exactly as the original serves them, no crumbs left behind:

  • -h — displays a short help text. Baby's first -h. 💜
  • -d, --debug — debug mode. Causes InVesalius to print debugging messages. So if it's being mysterious, this is how you get it to talk. 🔍
  • -i <dicom folder> — InVesalius opens a <dicom folder>. In the presence of more than one series in the given folder, InVesalius opens the larger one. Yes, it picks the bigger one — it's got a type, and the type is more. 😌
