Advanced Visualization Parameters for 3D and MPR

Advanced Visualization Parameters View or change render types, render parameters, or SUV parameters. The tabs / options that are available in the panel depend on the visualization mode (i.e. Fusion vs 3D) and the series type (i.e. PET vs CT ) or series orientation (i.e. same plane as the original series or not) that is selected in the viewer.

Render Parameters tab

Change the quality of interactive or final images

The Interactive Quality and Final Quality options scale up or scale down the quality of interactive images (images generated during on-the-fly rendering) and final images (images generated at rest, when no user commands are applied to the volume stack).

1. Click and click the Render Parameters tab.
2. Click and drag the handle on the Interactive Quality or Final Quality scales.

Change the slice thickness

This feature is available for Advanced MPR, Curved MPR, and MPR / 3D. It is also available for basic MPR and Fusion if slice-based navigation is not applicable to the reconstructed volume (for example, when a volume is tilted).

1. Click a volume rendered image.
2. Click  and click the Render Parameters tab.
3. Click and drag the handle on the Slice Thickness slider.

Render Types tab

The Render Types tab is available when you select an axial, sagittal, or coronal reconstruction in Advanced MPR, Curved MPR, and MPR / 3D modes. It is also available for basic MPR and Fusion if slice-based navigation is not applicable to the reconstructed volume (for example, when a volume is tilted).

Change the render type

1. Click and click the Render Types tab.
2. Select one of the following render types:
   • Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP)
   • Minimum Intensity Projection (MinIP)
   • Faded Maximum Intensity Projection (Faded MIP)
   • Average Intensity Projection (Average)
