Basic operations
Rotating/Translating the view plane or crop plane
Rotation and translation can be performed in either Volume
rendering or Flexi-Slice mode. Press Flexi-Slice to toggle
between the two modes.
Volume rendering mode
In Volume rendering mode, rotation applies to the viewing
direction onto the volume rendering. When View Crop on the
Touch panel is selected, the viewing direction and the crop plane
rotate together. When View crop is deselected rotation applies
only to the viewing direction.
Translation applies to a crop plane into the volume (see ‘Crop
tool’ on page 6-25 for more information about cropping).
1. Press Select to toggle between Rotate and Translate.
Rotation:
• Rotation with View crop selected: use the trackball to
rotate the active crop plane together with the viewing
direction. The viewing direction always coincides with
the crop plane.
• Rotation with View crop deselected: use the trackball to
rotate the viewing direction around the volume
rendering. The crop plane does not rotate.
Translation:
• Use the trackball to translate the crop plane into the
volume.
The default position can be displayed again by pressing
Clear.
Flexi-Slice mode
In Flexi-Slice mode each cut-plane may be rotated
independently (or simultaneously if “Lock Slice” is selected on
Control Panel”) and translated (independently only) using the
Trackballl:
1. Press Yellow, White or Green on the control panel to select
the Reference plane.
The volume rendering is updated accordingly.
