Chapter 42: Analyzing 3D-Mode images
The system prompts you to set a Rotational Axis. You can set the axis of
rotation by clicking once at one end of the axis of rotation and then
clicking at the other end.
The axis of rotation should run through entire volume region as shown in
the following illustration:
c. Click to create a point on the circumference of a contour.
d. Trace the contour. The system adds points as you trace.
e. To complete the contour, right-click the last point, or left-click near the
first point.
The contour is displayed in the Contour List as
3D Volume 1 -- 001 if
this is the first contour of the first volume measurement on the image. The
contour color changes from blue to the specified color.
If the position of the trackball cursor is within five pixels of the previous
caliper when you right-click, the previously placed caliper is considered to
be the last caliper for the measurement. This applies to 3D-Mode polygon
measurements and for 3D-Mode volume contours.
f. Click Refine to initiate the edge detection algorithm. This function detects
the edge of the vessel or volume wall and attempts to closely fit the line to
the outside wall of the vessel or volume. The Refine function can be
repeated to achieve the closest possible fit.
The Refine function achieves the best results when the contour is drawn
just outside the boundary of the anatomical structure.
