4D Markers
4D markers are small spheres that can be inserted into the
image to indicate the position of structures/objects of interest.
4D markers have defined coordinates in image space. They will
rotate/translate/zoom when the 4D image is rotated/translated/
zoomed. Therefore, they always stay in the correct position
relative to the anatomical structures which are annotated. A
legend with marker names is always shown if 4D Markers have
been used.
The markers are shown as 3D-objects when a rendering is
shown. In slices, the markers are only shown if there is an
intersection between the slice and the marker. (Figure 6-3).
Figure 6-3. Image with 4D Markers. The markers appear as
3D objects in the rendering and as lines if the slices cut through
the marker
Inserting a 4D Marker

(Figure 6-4). Select one of the pre-defined markers, or click
“User Defined…” if you would like to define your own text. The
cursor changes to the “cross” symbol:
