The 3D View Screen

Warning!

3D rendering must not be used for diagnosis. Confirmation must be
performed using one or more of the two-dimensional slices used for Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR).

The 3D View Screen provides a fully rotatable view of the acquired 3D volume.

To rotate the 3D view, click and drag in the 3D View Screen. The Orientation Indicator rotates in sync with the rotation of the 3D view.
To reset the orientation of the 3D view, use one of the following 3D orientation buttons.

	Sagittal	Re-orients the 3D image to display it from the sagittal. The image is displayed as if the patient is looking to the left or right (depending on the settings in the “View Orientation Preferences”).
	Coronal	Re-orients the 3D image to display it from the coronal. The image is displayed as if the patient is looking towards you or away from you (depending on the settings in the “View Orientation Preferences”).
	Axial	Re-orients the 3D image to display it from the axial. The image is displayed from underneath, looking up or from above, looking down (depending on the settings in the “View Orientation Preferences”).
	Perspective	Resets the 3D view to display it from the default perspective. The image is displayed so that the front, top, and left sides are visible.

To zoom in and out, move your mouse pointer over the 3D View Screen and scroll the mouse wheel.
To pan the 3D view, right-click and drag in the 3D View Screen.
Use view screen toolbar buttons to take a snapshot, maximize the view screen, or open the 3D view in a separate window.
To move the slice planes using the 3D View Screen, right-click on a slice plane and drag to a new position. See “Moving and Tilting Slice Planes in 2D MPR View Screens”.
Use the 3D sliders to control the overall display of the 3D view and the different tissue types displayed. See “Using 3D Color Sliders”.
To crop the 3D view, either use the Clipping Box on the MPR tab, or use the Custom Region of interest tools (See “Using the Custom Region of Interest Tool (2D)” or “Using the Custom Region of Interest Tool (3D)”).

Note: If your 3D View is not displayed, check to see if it has been deactivated in the “3D View Preferences”.
