You can view the back of the VR by rotating it 180°. The back view image may not
be as vivid as the front. (Here we call the initial view of the VR the “front”). It is
recommended to re-capture rather than rotate the VR if a certain desired region is
obscured in the VR.

Comments and Body Marks
Function:

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.

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.
