The Adjustments Pane

The Adjustments pane in the toolbox contains a range of display adjustment tools. The tools that are available depend on which workspace tab you are in and the Application Preferences you have configured.

 

The Adjustments pane contains the following tools, depending on the workspace tab used:

 

Tool

Description

 

 MPR Adjustments

 

The MPR Adjustments tool, available in all workspace tabs, enables you to:

Use MPR sliders to control the appearance of the 2D MPR views.

Configure or select from MPR windowing presets.

 

3D Adjustments

CS 3D Imaging provides a library of different color palettes that define how different tissue types are displayed in the 3D View Screen.

You can either select a predefined palette or, if necessary, activate color sliders to fine tune the appearance of the 3D View Screen.

This tool is available in the MPR, Curve, Bilateral, and MPR workspace tabs.

 

Mouse Settings

The Mouse Settings tool, available in all workspace tabs, allows you to:

 

  • Adjust Slide, Zoom and MPR options to control how your mouse wheel functions in 2D MPR view screens.

  • Adjust Synchronization settings for view screens.

Basic Region of Interest

The Basic Region of Interest tool allows you to set an upper and a lower limit on the region of interest, when tracing a jaw arch, temporal bone, TMJ or ear slices.

You can find this tool in the Curve and Bilateral workspace tabs.

See “Using the Basic Region of Interest Tool”.

MAR/FDK Adjustments

The MAR/FDK Adjustments tool enables you to toggle between the MAR (Metal Artifact Reduction) reconstruction and the FDK (Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress) reconstruction of an image, and to use an adjustment tool to display all information inside a limited area of interest without the need to toggle.

 

Note: In the Easy mode, some tools are not available. If you have installed the Imaging Center version of the software, the option to switch between Easy and Advanced modes is not available; the Imaging Center version, like the Advanced mode, allows access to all of the tools.
