Run a sample deformable image registration using a command line

  • Run the plastimatch command prompt, which sets the path. Or if you chose to add plastimatch to your path during install, you can run an ordinary command prompt.

[Optional] Review images using an image viewer

  • There is no image viewer available inside the plastimatch, users are recommended to use a third-party software to see the images generated from plastimatch such as ”.nrrd” and “.mha” files.

  • Recommended software: 3DSlicer

  • Install the 3Dslicer

  • View image files using 3Dslicer

    • Drag&Drop the image files onto the 3Dslicer (available in up-to-date version)

    • Select images for overlay and review them by using the overlay slide bar.
