Exercise 4: Advanced 2D view settings

Starting point

Have completed the exercise 3.

Objective

• Changing the number of sections displayed in the window

• Access to a specific section

Solution

1. By default, 2D windows display the image of a single section of the graphical dataset (a 1x1 representation). To change this, open the extended menu of the window in which we are working, as shown in the Figure 1:

2. Within this new menu, the number of sections shown is managed from the icon marked in orange in the Figure 2

Figure 2: step 2

The display options shown when clicking on the tool are as follows (Figure 3):

Figure 3: step 2

3. Select 3x3 from the pull-down menu and close the menu in the << icon at the top left. The window changes to this state (Figure 4):

Figure 4: step 3

4. To make it easier to view, change the layout of the interface, as seen in the Exercise 2: Changes in the Slicer interface, a Yellow Slice Only. (Figure 5)

Figure 5: step 4

5. We go back to the initial distribution of the screen (*Conventional *Widescreen), with view of 1*x1 in the yellow window.

6. To access a specific section, of which we know its position, all you have to do is type the coordinate of the same one in the upper right part of the menu bar of the 2D window, which is where the coordinate of the section shown is shown (Figure 1). In the example we will go to the section 50:

Questions

• Move the scroll wheel of the mouse over the window where we have multiple sections visible: what happens?

• What happens when you move the scroll wheel while sitting on top of one of the 2D windows where a single section is visible? Does this affect the other two windows?

• Identify work situations where one of the 2D full-screen views, with multiple sections, would be relevant
