Saving an loading ROI Specifications

  • Main Menu: Measure->ROI->ROI Buffer->Save…
  • Popup Menu: ROI->ROI Buffer->Save…

This option saves the details of the ROIs in the ROI Buffer as a binary file (with extension .buf), which can subsequently be reloaded into nordicICE. Note that, contrary to the Save All option in the ROI Buffer window, which saves the actual data in the ROI Buffer, this option saves the location, type and size specification for all ROIs in the buffer. This is a convenient way of applying multiple ROI s to the exact same position in multiple datasets. Note that this latter operation saves the actual ROI type and size/ position of each ROI in the buffer and not the ROI statistics contained in the ROI. (The ROI statistics will, however be retrieved once the ROI buffer is re-loaded. In order to save the ROI statistics, the Save all function available in the ROI Buffer window must be used (See Saving ROI Data to the Buffer). A ROI Buffer is loaded into nordicICE via

  • Main Menu: Measure->ROI->ROI Buffer->Load...
  • Popup Menu: ROI->ROI Buffer->Load...

Note that an error message will appear if the number of slices in the active image set is not identical to the number of slices specified in the ROI Buffer file.

The current (active) ROI is saved as an ascii file (with extension .roi). Which can then be re-loaded into nordicICE via

  • Main Menu: Measure->ROI->Current ROI->Load...
  • Popup Menu: ROI->Current ROI->Load...

The image window size and zoom/pan factor active when the ROI Buffer - or single ROI- were generated will be saved with the .buf or .roi file. When the .buf or .roi file is re-loaded, the image size and zoom/pan settings will then be restored to the exact same values as when the measurements were originally done. Note that it is assumed that the image size and zoom/pan settings are the same throughout a ROI session (i.e. for all the ROI s in the buffer).
