Calibration Tool

See this related issue in cornerstoneWADOImageLoader: https://github.com/chafey/cornerstoneWADOImageLoader/issues/131

…the xray tech to place a physical object of a known size (e.g. 10mm diameter circle) at the correct depth during the xray and then provide a tool to calculate the row/column pixel spacing for the image by measuring that object… Manual calibrations should be handled separately from the metadata provider, appropriate infrastructure put in place to manage them in cornerstoneTools and updates to the tools themselves…

I could see a “Calibration Tool” as being useful. Not sure where it would fall on the roadmap, but creating an enhancement request here. I know I’ll need it for my personal project before too long. I’ll mark it “up for grabs”, but I’ll claim it if some time passes and no one else has dug in.

Feel free to discuss.

When we did the US calibration and macro project for a different application, we allowed the user to draw a line in one or more directions then define the real world value within an input box and we stored that in a presentation state for presentation pixel spacing.

@Zaid-Safadi, I actually have a Calibration Tool in an upcoming sprint for work. If I gain any insights, I’ll be sure to share them with you; although, my implementation will be in the vNext branch.

I’d recommend creating a new tool, but yes, the mechanics would be very similar to ArrowAnnotate or Length.

Hey @dannyrb, has there been made any progress? Best!
