Use presets, HU units, and color settings to edit and adjust the visualization of DICOM data.
2.2.1
Presets

2.2.2
Colors
2.2.2.V1.9-01
Assign colors and transparency to HU units to improve the visualization of your DICOM data.
2.2.2.1
Color pins
Adjust transparency and assign colors to specific Hounsfield Units (HU).
Drag a selected pin vertically to change transparency (0–100%, logarithmic scale).
Drag a selected pin horizontally to assign a color to an HU value.
2.2.2.2

Tissue filter
Adjust the visible range of DICOM data by Hounsfield Units (HU). Move the minimum and maximum handles individually, or drag the entire range along the axis.
2.2.2.6
Map colors to range
Switch between color modes. When disabled, colors are fixed to specific Hounsfield Units (HU), so narrowing the HU range limits visible colors. When enabled, colors adjust to fit the current HU window, keeping the full color range visible.
2.2.2.7
Zoom in
Scale the HU axis to display only the selected range.
2.2.2.8
