Overview

It is important to have accurate insight when you are interpreting an imaging series like CT scan, MRI or Angiography. From a student point of view, it could be more complicated to look for a lesion in many frames. So, by creating an animated imaging with highlighted lesions, instead of uploading many images you can make it simple for all users.
Here we describe, how to make an animated GIF file with highlighted lesions.
