Marking a Slab by Center

You can mark one central image, and the system expands the selection to several mm or images in each side.

Important: Mark Slab by Center is unavailable for non-volumetric data, such as CR, DR, XR, MG, US or in localizer images.

NOTE: The system creates a slab with a symmetric number of images or equal thickness from each side of the middle slab image. The system automatically adjusts the calculation to create a symmetric sub-volume around the center image as needed.

Important: Finish the marking process before you apply annotations or measurements, or manipulate the image. If you change the cursor mode before you mark the final image, you will cancel the marking process prematurely.
