# Imaging setup

## Requirements

1. **3D Slicer:** [3D Slicer](https://download.slicer.org/) (v >= 5.2.2) together with the SlicerNetstim, SlicerOpenIGTLink and SlicerIGT extensions should be installed.
2. **ORScene:** An *ORScene* is a file that includes subject images, planning information and atlas-based segmentations ready to loaded into Slicer. It can be created from Lead-DBS and an example dataset is already included in the SlicerNetstim extension.

## Loading sample ORScene

A sample ORScene is included to test the platform. To load it follow the next steps:

1. Open Slicer.
2. Switch to Sample Data module.
3. Scroll down and select STN Planning.

See the following screenshots as reference:

## Creating new ORScene

In order to create an ORScene follow the next steps:

1. Process a subject in Lead-DBS with the **co-registration** and **normalization** steps.
2. Place the surgical planning files under a `leador` subfolder within the subject folder.
3. Load the subject in Lead-DBS and select `Tools > Lead-OR > Create ORScene`. Note that the selected atlas will be put into the scene as well.
4. Drag and drop the `ORScene.mrb` file into Slicer.

See the following screenshots as reference.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://netstim.gitbook.io/leaddbs/lead-or/imaging-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
