This example shows the setup of a lung study where the user must segment two regions of interest. When in the Segment Editor tab, only 2 colors options are presented to the user.

The main attributes of interest used for this example include:

  • ROIColorFile="Lung_SABR_Study_colors"
    • an attribute in the Session root element
    • name of the file holding color rgba definition
    • there is no .txt extension in this attribute
  • EnableSegmentEditor="Y"
    • an attribute of the Page element
    • to open the Segment Editor tab in the Image Quizzer
  • SegmentRequiredOnAnyImage="Y"
    • an attribute of the Page element
    • the user cannot advance to the next Page of images and questions until a contour has been created on any of the images displayed
