N° Button VV Desktop Description

Click (Curved Reformat) to automatically open the Trace


panel that guides you through the creation of a curved
reformation and switches the upper left viewport to
Curved type
Click (Multi Oblique) to move to an optimized layout for
oblique prescription. Adjust the axis to set oblique
planes.
Click (MPVR 3 mm Average) to automatically switch all
views to slabs of 3mm. Slab thickness of all views can be
modified simultaneously by using the thickness slider
from the MPR/3D tool while the Apply to all option is
selected.
Click (Segment Structures) to open the AutoSelect tool
and change the layout.
Re-ordering the review steps can be done via drag and drop.
Press to save the new steps order.

Additional Layouts and protocols are available when clicking on


the Protocol List button .

Configuration of the Review steps list is available in the Review


Manager section under Layout and Review options .

4 The Mouse Modes provide the ability to change the function of the Left Mouse Button to
perform basic image manipulation:

Image Controls can also be adjusted via right-click

* Seamless Integration: modes available from the PACS tools only. W/L is only accessible via
the right click menu.
5 The Visualization tools provide the ability to interact with the display of the images.

The Image Orientation buttons are used to change the planes of 3D or


Oblique reformatted images.
[L] = Left
[A] = Anterior
[I] = Inferior
[P] = Posterior
[S] = Superior
[R] = Right
Link / Unlink
When comparing several exams or series, volumes are automatically linked
by the cursor location and are synchronized (or registered) as you scroll
through the images.
The Link/Unlink tool is used to manually adjust this registration by unlinking
volumes at series* or exam* level, changing the cursor location, and re-
linking.

This tool is activated only when multiple volumes are loaded.


* see Global Preferences section below to know more about unlinking at
series level or at exam level (default).

The Simple Oblique Mode button displays a line cursor in Reformatted


views that is used to define a new plane. Set the function of one viewport
to Oblique. Make another viewport primary and then click on the Simple
Oblique Mode button. A solid yellow line appears which represents the

6 The Measure/Annotate tools allow to perform measurements and annotate the images.

Distance Measurement

Straight Distance
Click on the image to deposit the first and last points or click to deposit the
first point and drag and drop the last point.
- When endpoints are deposited on the same plane on a 2D image or
on a 3D image, the distance measurement is set as (2D).
- When endpoints are deposited at different depths on a 2D image, the
distance measurement is set as (3D).
Curved Distance
Deposit multiple points on the image with left click and validate the curved
line with right click.
2D Regions Of Interest
2D ROI types are Elliptical, Free Hand and Rectangular.
Click to deposit 2D ROI with predefined values (see Global Preferences) or
drag and drop diameter, then adjust size by dragging ROI corner, using shift
key to force to circle or square (Ellipse and rectangle ROIs).

Statistics are displayed for average, minimum and maximum voxel values,
Standard Deviation, relative Standard Deviation and Area (mm2) within the
ROI.
Right click the 2D ROI to select statistics to be displayed in the viewport from
the Statistics menu.
Note: Only 2D elliptical ROIs can be deposited on SCPT (statistics are not
available).
Arrow Tool Click the Arrow Tool button to deposit an arrow on the screen.
Grab the end of the arrow to resize and rotate it. Grab anywhere on the
arrow to move it.
When depositing an arrow on a 3D viewport, the arrow will appear as well on
all the corresponding 2D viewports.

ANNOTATIONS

Select the Annotate button to deposit an annotation on a viewport.

Click (Preset Annotations) to deposit or create preset annotations (text


annotation or measurement with a predefined label).

Click (Linked Annotation) to deposit an annotation linked to a structure of


32
interest.

Report Cursor
Click the Report Cursor button to deposit a point on the viewports to display
a RAS coordinate and the voxel value for the current cursor position.
3D Region Of Interest

3D ROI types are Auto-contour, Spherical and Parallelepiped.


Right click the 3D ROI and select statistics to be displayed in the viewport
from the Statistics menu.

Displays statistics for average, minimum and maximum voxel values,


Standard Deviation, relative Standard Deviation and Volume (mm3) within the
ROI.

3D ROIs have the ability to colorize voxels inside the ROI based on
ranges of voxel value. Right click the 3D ROI and select (Activate
color coded display) to activate this feature.
The ranges can be updated on the fly directly from the color range
on the viewport (right click), and can be saved as user presets.
Statistics from sub-volumes defined by color ranges can be
displayed as well in the Summary Table as additional statistics.

Volume Measurement
After an object of interest has been segmented, the volume of this object can
be assessed by clicking the Volume Measurement tool and then by clicking
on the segmented object in the viewport.
Angle Measurement
Click on the image to deposit three points.
When depositing an angle on a 3D viewport, the end points will appear as
well on all the corresponding 2D viewports.

Note: Angle measurement can be deposited on SCPT.
