For the 2
nd
reconstruction the Autoload into MIPthin
Range on the 3D Card is activated. The images will be
automatically loaded into 3D, MIPthin, and a coronal
MIPthin Range will pop up.
Please notice, if you are not satisfied with the Range
preset adapt the parameters to your needs and link them
to the series.
