to run it.
Displa y Layout (1 ×1, 2×1, 3×2, 4×3, 6×4)
This function is for setting the Display Layout. Five settings are available for selection. 1×1 displays one large image and 6x4 displays many small slice images.
▶
Measure
This function is not provided in Volume CT and Oblique. Select the Measure to move to the screen where measurement is possible.
-
Distance: Measures the distance between two selected points.
-
Ellipse: Measures the area of the selected ellipse. To select an ellipse, select two points and use the connecting axis to adjust the ellipse shape.
-
Clear: Clears the Distance and Ellipse measurement results.
-
Main Menu: Returns to the Multi Slice Mode screen.
-
To cancel measuring , right-click on the mouse.
▶
Initialize
This function resets the Multi Slice Mode setting to default values.
▶
Ref. Plane (A/ B/ C Plane)
This function allows the user to select the Reference Plane image of a Multi Slice image to view the image in a desired plane. Select OH to verify where the selected slice is located in the volume data.
▶
Rot. Z (0/ 90/ 180/ 270)
This function rotates the Multi Slice image by the selected value. If the mode changes or the Reference Plane is modified, the current Rot. Z is reset to 0. The rotation will be performed along the Z-axis as illustrated below.
▶
Zoom
This function allows the user to zoom into the Multi Slice image up to 400%. Use the mouse to select the slide button and make appropriate adjustments.
▶
Post P rocessing
This function allows the user to produce a desired Multi Slice image. Images that have been post-processed are not applied to Volume CT.
-
DynamicMR: Improves the image quality by maximizing the contrast and sharpening the borders of the Multi Slice image.
-
Invert: Inverts the black and white of the Multi Slice image.
-
Auto Contrast: Auto-adjusts the Multi Slice image contrast. This calculates the image histogram and stretches the contrast distribution; little or no effects may be seen for images with even contrast distribution.
-
Threshold: Sets the threshold for the Multi Slice image. This removes the unnecessary levels of brightness from the image.
-
Sharpen: Sets the sharpness of the borders for the Multi Slice image. Use this to obtain sharper borders or a clearer image when using a blurred image. Setting the value higher results in a sharper image.
-

the
brightness of desired areas in the Multi Slice image. To use this function, choose [Top], [Bottom], [Left], [Right] or nothing.
-
Flip Left/ Right, Flip Top/ Bottom: Flips the Multi Slice image horizontally or vertically.
-
Image Setting: Sets the Chroma Map and Gamma values. •
Click Return To Main to return to the Multi Slice Mode screen.
•
Select a button under Palette to apply desired colors on the display image.
•
Adjust the [Pos] value and [Bias] value for Post Curve to adjust the Gamma value.
▶
Rotation
This function adjusts the Rotate X, Rotate Y, and Rotate Z slide buttons in order to rotate the Multi Slice image. Rotating the selected reference plane also rotates all other planes in the same manner.
▶
Select Imag e
This function allows the user to choose an image to view by selecting Previous Image or Next Image. The selected image is indicated by a yellow border.
▶
Select Page
This function allows the user to choose a different page of images to view by selecting Previous Page or Next Page. Page range varies depending on the Display Layout.
▶
Cut Depth
This function sets the Multi Slice interval. The interval for slice images can be userconfigured and is represented by an internal operation value by default. “Cut Depth” indicated here refers to the interval of each slice within the volume data; it does not represent the actual anatomic location in the scanned target.
3D XI ™ - Volume CT™ ▶
The Volume CT Mode expresses the Coronal / Sagittal / Axial images in the
selected 3D locations for easy identification of plane image information.
Select
to start the Volume CT Mode. Select Cube or Cross under
Display Format to select a desired Volume CT format.
▶
Displays the respective surface according to the location of the image selected in
Multi-Slice view. If the Front/Top/Left side of the volume is nearer, the image is displayed from the direction of the Multi Slice view. If the Back/Bottom/Right side of the volume is nearer, the image is displayed from the opposite direction of the Multi Slice view. When displaying the location for the selected slice, the image is displayed as slightly slanted. This is to simultaneously show all the plane images
seen from different directions. ▶
Cube Volume CT
This function identifies the information for the external plane image neighboring the cube.
-
Boundary: Toggles the boundary of Cube Volume CT on or off. The boundary expresses the external area for the total 3D volume.
-
Initialize: Resets the Cube Volume CT settings to default values.
-
Select Surface (Front/ Back/ Left/ Right/ Up/ Down): Sets the reference surface. The user can select from 6 different surfaces.
-
Zoom: The Cube Volume CT image can be zoomed up to 400%. Use the mouse to select the slide button and make appropriate adjustments.
-
Surface Offset: Moves the offset position of the selected reference surface.
-
Rotation: Adjust the Rotate X, Rotate Y , and Rotate Z slide buttons to rotate the Cube Volume CT image.
▶
Cross Volume CT
Identifies the information for the cross internal plane image.
-
Boundary: Toggles the boundary of Cross Volume CT on or off. The boundary expresses the external area for the total 3D volume.
-
Initialize: Resets the Cross Volume CT settings to default values.
-
Zoom: The Cross Volume CT image can be zoomed up to 400%. Use the mouse to select the slide button and make appropriate adjustments.
-
Plane Offset: Moves the position of the reference plane.
-
Rotation: Adjust the Rotate X, Rotate Y , and Rotate Z slide buttons to rotate the Cross Volume CT image.
Oblique Mode ▶
At the anatomic location of the Coronal / Sagittal / Axial image, use Line or
Contour on the selected plane to view an oblique plane image. Select start the mode.
to
Display Format
-
Static Line: Acquires the information of the oblique plane image using the default line.
-
Dynamic Line: Acquires the information of the oblique plane image using an edited line. To edit the line, use the mouse to select S(Start) and E(End) points. Once the line is confirmed, the corresponding oblique plane image will be displayed.
-
Contour: Acquires the information of the oblique plane image by editing the contour. To edit the contour, use the mouse to select S(Start) and E(End) points. Once the contour is confirmed, the corresponding oblique plane image will be displayed.
-
Note that the amount of data is limited for specifying Dynamic Line or Contour; the plane image for any excess data will not be displayed.
-
The view direction for the oblique plane image is the oblique location of the plane cutting the volume data.
Line Rotation This function allows the user to rotate the default line when using Static Line or Dynamic Line. Line Offset This function’s arrow button allows the user to move the location of the edited line when using Dynamic Line.
