Annotate and Mask Images
The Annotations/Mask panel (Figure 8-6) contains the tools to annotate images. Table 8-4 describes the
tools and their functions.
Image annotations are divided into two categories:
• Image annotation – Lines, ellipses, Cobb angle, user annotation (notes), and RL markers added by the
operator to measure or bring attention to a section of the image. You draw or place these
annotations on the image as appropriate. Refer to Add Image Annotations
(p. 8-13) for more
information.
• System annotation – Information that is kept by the system, such as identifying information, exposure
and acquisition information, and processing information. These annotations are displayed as text at
the corners of the image. You may select which annotations appear, but you cannot control where
the annotations are placed.
