View Screens

Description

Axial Slice View Screen

This view screen displays horizontal slices. It is displayed by default even when there are no traces present.

Before drawing a trace, use the slider at the base of the Axial Slice View Screen to move the axial slice plane.

The imaging software will display in real time the corresponding Trace View Screen and Oblique Coronal View Screen.

You can use this view screen to trace the jaw arch or temporal bone, depending on which software mode you have installed.

Trace View Screen

Also known as Reconstructed Panoramic View Screen, this view screen displays the jaw arch or temporal bone, depending on which software mode you have installed.

This screen appears when you start drawing a trace on the Axial Slice View Screen.

Once a trace is present, you can use the slice plane handle to adjust the position of the axial slice plane.

Oblique Coronal View Screen

This view screen is displayed dynamically when you start drawing a trace on the Axial Slice View Screen, displaying a 90° view through the trace drawn on the Axial Slice View Screen.

You can fine-adjust the position of the axial slice plane displayed in the Axial Slice View Screen, by using the blue handle in the Oblique Coronal View Screen (also known as the cross-section view screen).

3D View Screen

This screen shows the 3D representation of a volume.

Note: You can configure the color of view indicator tags shown in the workspace tabs in the “Color Preferences”. The colors in the images in the user guide may differ from those shown on your computer monitor.
