2.1

Option Preset

Manages DICOM presets. Option preset is a saved configuration of display and processing settings. Select, create, edit, or delete built-in and custom presets here

2.1.1

Add

Saves your color schema, transfer function, edge filter, and segmentation as a new preset. Point at the + button and press the trigger to make a new preset. It will appear at the top of the list.

2.1.2

Export

Saves the preset to your desktop.

2.1.3

Preset

Loads a saved preset. Select it with the trigger to apply.

2.1.4

Delete

Deletes the selected preset.

2.2

Transfer Function

Enables setting transparency and colors to specific Hounsfield Units (HU) using color pins.

2.2.1

Color Pins

They adjust transparency and assign colors to specific Hounsfield Units (HU).
To add a pin, click on an empty spot on the graph.
To change transparency, move the selected pin vertically and release the trigger. Transparency ranges from 0% to 100% on a logarithmic scale.
To assign a specific color to an HU value, move the selected color pin horizontally and release the trigger.

2.2.2

Delete Pin

Deletes a color pin from the transfer function. Select the pin with the laser, then press the delete pin button.

2.2.3

Color Picker

Allows changing a pin's color. Select the pin with the trigger, then choose a new color.

2.2.4

Close Color Picker

Closes color picker.

2.3

Tissue filter

The tissue filter section adjusts the visible range of DICOM data based on Hounsfield Units (HU). It also allows switching between relative and absolute color values.

2.3.1

Min HU

Adjusts the lower Hounsfield Unit (HU) value. Select the slider with the trigger and move the slider left or right, then release. Use the arrow to decrease/ increase the value by 1.

2.3.2

Max HU

Adjusts the higher Hounsfield Unit (HU) value.Select the slider with the trigger and move the slider left or right, then release. Use the arrow to decrease/ increase the value by 1.

2.3.3

Absolute/Relative

Switches between color modes. In absolute mode, colors are fixed to specific Hounsfield Units (HU), so narrowing the HU range limits visible colors. In relative mode, colors adjust to fit the current HU window, keeping the full color range visible. Press the button with the trigger to switch modes.

Mesh Generator

Converts DICOM data into a STL format for printing or further analysis.

2.5.1

Generate Mesh

Displays mesh options and a preview alongside the original dataset.

2.5.2

Tissue

Allows setting the ISO Value to control which tissues appear in the mesh.Press the button with the trigger and slide left or right.

Edge Filter

Improves how clearly you can see where different tissues meet in DICOM data. Move the filter left to show smooth areas. Move it right to highlight where tissue changes quickly.

2.6.1

Min Edge

Adjusts the lower edge value. Select the slider with the trigger and move the slider left or right, then release. Use the arrow to decrease/ increase the value by 1.

2.6.2

Max Edge

Adjusts the higher edge value. Select the slider with the trigger and move the slider left or right, then release. Use the arrow to decrease/ increase the value by 1.

2.7

Quality Settings

Balance DICOM visual quality and app performance. Adjust the settings to prioritize either image detail or smoother performance based on your system’s capabilities.

2.7.1

Quality For Volumes

Controls how many slices are used for rendering. At 50%, all original slices are included. Above 50%, additional slices are generated using interpolation to increase detail.

2.7.2

Data Resolution

Controls the texture quality of each slice in the dataset.
