MPR Toolbar

The following tab is added to the toolbar when you open the MPR application.

Description

Volume

Swivel the image.

Roll the image from side to side around the center of the volume.

Roll the image to the closest axial, sagittal or coronal plane.

Click a point of interest to locate the matching point in other registered groups for the same or prior study.

Application Layout

Duplicate a group of result images to manipulate them individually.

None: Duplicates the group.

Vertical: Duplicates the group and displays the duplicate group adjacent to the original group.

Horizontal: Duplicates the group and displays the duplicate group under the original group.

Select group layout:

  • MPR standard Layout (default). Display one result image and reference images showing the scanned volume in axial, sagittal and coronal views with default and additional cross-section lines. In this layout you can select one image, two images, 2x2 images, 2x3 images, or user defined number of images for the result display area.

  • MPR 2x2 layout

  • MPR double oblique layout. Allows you to view the data in a 2x2 layout by retaining a perpendicular  relationship between the planes. Press Shift to turn the perpendicular and horizontal cross section lines in the reference images to obliques.

You can also apply:

  • Single-phase mode

  • Multi-phase mode

Rendition Method

 

MPR (average MipPR) - Render the MPR slab using the average pixel value.

MIP (maximum intensity projection) - Render the MPR slab using the maximum pixel value.

MinPR (minimum intensity projection)- Render the MPR slab using the minimum pixel value.

Control rendering parameters. Select rendition type, slice thickness and slice spacing.

Direction

Reformat plane and curve:

  • Axial/Sagittal/Coronal: Lets you define the planar view, or orientation, of the image.

  • Parallel/Concentric/Sectional/Sectional parallel: Lets you draw and manipulate curved cross-sections on the reference images, as follows:

  • Parallel: Curved cross-sections that are parallel to one another.

  • Concentric: Curved cross-sections that decrease in size towards the same central mid-point.

  • Sectional: Cross-sectional slices that are perpendicular (90°) to a defined curved cross-section.

  • Sectional Parallel: Parallel cross-sectional slices on a defined curved cross-section.
