syngo 3D
Like editing volume data sets in the VOI mode, you can use the 3D Editor, too. You are provided with tools for cutting out structures from an object that you have previously generated.
Using the Slab Editor you can define your own cutting depth.
Morphological Operations
In some cases it will not be simple to separate the structures of an object using the cutting tools. Here we recommend eroding or shrinking the areas of the object by a specified surface thickness, until the obscuring structures are no longer contained in the object.
You can subsequently dilate or blow up the remaining object areas by a defined surface thickness. As a result, the irrelevant areas contained at the outset are now removed from the representation.
If you perform the same operations in reverse order, small cavities in the object will be filled.
Documentation of Results
The buttons Copy to Film sheet and Save/Save As are always available. You can always document intermedi- ate results by using these buttons.
To save images you have following possibilities:
•Storing the new series automatically during recon- struction
•The Save button will store the image/series with no further check
•The Save as button will give you the ability to choose a name for the new the image/series before storing
