Image Optimization 5-39
Image Editing
Function
Image editing is a more elaborate function than VOI adjusting for optimizing the 3D image
by clipping (removing) the obscured part of the region of interest.
Tip:
In image editing status, no image parameters can be changed. A cutting cursor is
displayed , and the system enters “Accept VOI” status.
The editing function is available only on VR.
Procedures
1. Enter image editing status by clicking the [Edit] tab.
2. Select an edit tool:
Contour
a) Press <Set> to position the start point, and roll the trackball to trace the region.
b) When the start point and end point coincide, the region is selected, or press
<Set> twice to finish tracing.
c) Move the cursor to the region you want to cut and press <Set> again to cut.
Rectangle
a) Press <Set> to fix the rectangle's position, roll the trackball to change the size,
and press <Set> again to finish drawing the rectangle.
b) Move the cursor to the region you want to cut and press <Set> again to cut.
To undo the last cutting, Click [Undo] on the screen.
