Displaying data as volume/MIP render

Structural data can be displayed in separate volume render window by pressing the <Launch volume render window> button under the <Display options> tab. Note, this option can also be launched for dynamic data, whereby the currently selected dynamic scan will be selected for volumetric view.

By default, when the volume render option is launched, data will be displayed in ‘plane render’ view; that is simultaneous display of the three orthogonal planes (like the display in the nordicICE DTI module):

Two additional viewing modes can be selected from the <interaction mode> pulldown menu:

Volume render mode (figure 2) and maximum intensity projection (MIP) mode.

Note that for volume render and MIP mode, optimal visualization can be tuned using the <set opacity function> option

If a lesion segmentation has been defined for the current structural dataset, then the segmented volume will be displayed as a separately rendered structure in volume render mode (figure 3).
