Importing Scalar Values from CSV Files to Multi-ROIs

If required, you can import scalar values contained in a selected comma-separated values file (*.csv extension) into a multi-ROI. Scalar values can be imported from either an ORS-formatted CSV file, in which case all slots will be imported, or you can import scalar slots one-by-one from generic CSV files that contain the required label indexes and corresponding values.

ORS-formatted CSV files are formatted in columns as follows: | Time Step | Label Index | Name | Values Slot 1 | Values Slot 2 | Values Slot 3 | Values Slot… |. Generic CSV files must be formatted as: | Label Index | Values |. Other information, such as slot title, dimension type, unit, and time step can be entered manually.
  1. Right-click the required multi-ROI in the Data Properties and Settings panel and then choose Import Scalar Values from a CSV File in the pop-up menu.

    The Scalar Values Slots Importer dialog appears.

  2. Check the Import scalar values slots from an ORS CSV file format option, if the CSV file was exported from Dragonfly.
