ITK-SNAP 3.4:Focus on usability

• After adding tons of new functionality in releases 3.0 and 3.2, we have focused the current release on making the SNAP user interface more friendly and intuitive.

• Some of the features lost in the transition from 2.4 to 3.0 have been brought back, and the tools for working with multiple image layers have been simplified.

Well-liked UI features from version 2.4 are back in 3.4

Segmentation labels are back on the main control

panel!

The inspector tabs are more

intuitive

Use this option to load more than one image in the

* We no longer call these additional images “overlays” because the default behavior is to show them side by side with the main image.

Semi-transparent display of images such as statistical maps is still supported using the “pinning” feature discussed later
