PectIndex is a desktop application for doctors to analyze scans of patients with Pectus Excavatum deformities. It allows the doctor to upload a scan of a patient, render the image, and select a slice or range of slices to analyze for different medical indexes. The application is designed for Windows 10 only.
A screenshot of our user interface is Images/Omega_Screenshot.JPG
Format:
Executable (Windows):
First, download the executable from this link (umich email required).
Download the entire folder pectindex (right->click->download), then simply extract the zip file to any folder, and run the exectuable called pectindex.exe inside. Sample scans to upload to our application can be found the the Scans folder.
From Source (Mac and Windows):
To run our program from the source, first you must download Qt from this link.
Afterwards, clone this repo at https://github.com/eagattas/PectIndex.git
Lastly, load the project in Qt (using pectindex.pro), build and run it.
The same tutorial can be found inside the program, but is also pasted here for your convenience
To open a file, either click File > Open or the [...] button on the right side of the screen. Then select an .obj file and click the Render 3D Model button below the file name.
The 3D viewer can be found on the left half of the window. The name of the file can be found above the viewer, as well as the three different modes the 3D viewer can be in. If you would like to change the model color this can be done in the settings page of this application. Camera Mode: In this mode, you can left-click and drag to rotate the model right-click and drag to pan the model, and scroll to zoom in and out of the model. Slice Mode: In this mode, left-click on the model to select a slice, and the slice will appear in the Canvas area on the right side of the screen. Bounds Mode: This mode is similar to slice mode, except you will pick two points on the model. The application will automatically calculate all of the indexes on all of the slices between the range, as well as a 3D volume defect index.
The canvas is located in the bottom right of the application, and is used to view slices after the 3D model is clicked in slice mode. There are two checkboxes above the Canvas Automatic Arm Removal and Run All Indexes. The Automatic Arm Removal checkbox will attempt to remove arms that are connected from the body. Arms that are disconnected from the body are already removed. The Run All Indexes checkbox will automatically run all of the indexes when the slice is selected. There are also 5 buttons above the canvas area. The first three buttons are Haller Index, Asymmetric Index, and Volume Defect Index. When either of these buttons are pressed, the corresponding index will be computed on the slice that is selected. If a slice is not selected, these buttons will not do anything. The next two buttons are Clear and Reset. Clear will remove any drawing from the Canvas and Reset will reset a slice to what it was before any arm removal occurs. Modes: The Canvas has 3 modes Pen, Eraser, and Arm Removal. Pen Mode: allows you to left-click and drag on the canvas to draw a line. Eraser Mode: you can left-click and drag to erase any line on the Canvas. Arm Removal Mode: you can draw a line through a connected arm to remove it. Lastly, if you would like to change the color of the pen, you can choose a color in the Settings page.
To take notes, click the Notes button on the top right of the application. Left-click the text area that appears after the button is clicked, and begin typing. Click the notes button to disable the text area.
PDF's can be generated by going to File>Create PDF and a PDF will be created in the Downloads folder with the name of the file that was uploaded.
