Update Description

MOSE v2.3 (Update date: 2012.4.5):

1. Add support to the simulation of fiber-optic endoscope at the inner tissue.

2. Add some new parameters and the version of the parameter file has been updated to 2.3. The latest version still supports the older versions of the parameter file.

3. Change the way of output of the detector result under CW simulation. First, output the result of the plane detector, followed by the result of fiber detector.

4. Fix the errors of the simulation property input dialog.

5. Fix some other errors, enhance the stability of the software to run, and improve the efficiency of the algorithm.

MOSE v2.2 (Update date: 2011.6.8):

1. Fix the errors under the parameter setting.

MOSE v2.2 (Update date: 2011.5.29):

1. Add a message board for user to ask questions about MOSE more easily.

2. Add the support to STL (.stl) format and DICOM (.dcm) format.

3. Fix the errors under the parameter setting.

4. Modify the user manual.

5. Fix some other errors, enhance the stability of the software to run.

MOSE v2.2 (Update date: 2011.5.10):

1. Change two keywords in the parameter file, but the new version still supports the old format.

　　"LightSourceAzimuthalAngle" is changed to "LightSourceAzimuthAngle";

　　"LightSourceDeflectAngle" is changed to "LightSourceDeflectionAngle";

2. Fix the errors under the parameter setting.

3. Add the conversion of the relative path of the triangular mesh file to the absolute path while reading the parameter file.

4. Add the display of the shape data of the tissue, such as the shape bounding-box, the triangle number, and so on. This function can be accessed in "View-Viewing options".

5. Modify the Chinese version of the user manual.

6. Fix some other errors, enhance the stability of the software to run.

MOSE v2.2 (Update date: 2011.4.20):

( Many thanks Karen for helping us check the grammar of the user manual! ^_^)

Compared to the previous version 2.1.2, the updates of version 2.2 are as follows:

1. Add support to Linux system.

2. Add some new parameters and the version of the parameter file has been updated to 2.2. The latest version still supports the older versions of the parameter file.

3. Add the MC simulation under the medium described by the tetrahedral mesh structure. The tetrahedral mesh structure is consistent with that used in finite element method (FEM), hence the comparison between MOSE and FEM can be more easily realized than before.

4. Add the function of extraction of the regional boundary from a complex non-homogeneous tetrahedral mesh.

5. Modify the data input and output functions as follows:

1) Add the support to the .am format (a format of tetrahedral data generated by Amira)

2) Modify the support methods of the .mesh format (a format of tetrahedral data generated by Netgen), replacing the surface mesh in the previous version by the tetrahedral format of the current version.

6. Change the way of output of the transmittance result when the medium’s shape is a triangle mesh or a tetrahedral mesh. First, output the transmittance of each vertex, followed by the transmittance of each triangle mesh.

7. Remove the sidebar which is of no further use to the user.

8. Fix the errors under the multi-spectral and multi-thread simulation.

9. Fix some other errors, enhance the stability of the software to run, and improve the efficiency of the algorithm.

MOSE v2.1.2, (Update date: 2010.12.28):

Compared to the previous version, the update provides some new functions and greatly increases the stability and efficiency. The main contents are as follows:

1. Add the simulation of two types of optical imaging, including DOT and FMT.

2. Add two domains, including TD and FD.

3. Add the simulation of light propagation in free-space under CW based on the method of pinhole projection.

4. Add the function of reverse mapping from the fluence measured by detector to the flux on the boundary of the medium.

5. Add the multithreaded simulation, which can make the most of the strengths of the multicore CPU.

6. Add the function of calculating the photon fluence from the raw absorption (photon density).

7. Improve the display functions, include:

1) Add the function of display setting of the tissues in the medium. The setting includes show/hide, color, transparence, solid/wireframe and so on.

2) Add the function of interpolation while rendering the simulation results.

3) Add the function of multilayer displaying of the absorption results.

8. Extend the functions of file input and output, include:

1) Add the input/output function of the data generated by the different simulations.

2) Support two new file formats, including MESH and SURF, which are both used to describe the tissue boundary constructed by triangle mesh.

9. Improve the stability of the software and the efficiency of the simulation algorithms.

MOSE v2.1 (Update date: 2009.4.2):

1. Redesigned project’s conception
     a  A “project” file includes a simulation project file、a parameter file、absorption result、transmission result and detection result.
     b  It is available for user to get all the data and graphics output of the former simulation by opening a project file.
     c  The above two items only relative to the project of BLT simulation.
2. Added the function of setting color, transparence , display or not and line or entity’s display in tissue, light source or detector of the image.
3. Added palette bar to display the energy of absorption map、transmission map and detector result map , which could be set to appear or not.
4. Absorption map in 3D Analytic and 3D Mesh environment:
     a. Added map which is vertical to Z-axis in Cylindrical coordinate
     b. Added map which is parallel to X-Y and X-Z in Cartesian coordinate
     c. Added multilayer absorption map’s display
5. Added the display of line to plane transform in mesh environment.
6. Added the function to save image
7. Fixed Monte Carlo technique in some details.
8. Fixed the technique of detector
9. Fixed some bugs in the vision of 2.0.0
10. Fixed file format (which is compatible to the old file), as following:
     a. Absorption matrix result and transmittance matrix result , e.g:

               Phantom
               Absorption 1 Cylindrical
               Transmittance 1 Cylindrical
               PhantomResolution 0.100000 0.100000 0.100000 1 1
          Into
               Phantom
               Absorption Cylindrical
               Transmittance Cylindrical
               PhantomResolution 0.100000 0.100000 0.100000 1 1
     b. In mesh environment, added quotation mark to ply file’s path of tissue and light source, e.g:
          Change
               Tissue 1 PhantomSurface
               TissueShape mctrianglemesh
               TissuePath c:\7.ply

          Into
               Tissue 1 PhantomSurface
