This 2-D display module is used to extract slices at any arbitrary orientation within a volumetric data set. New data sets with slices parallel to a selected oblique angle can be generated after resampling and interpolation. Oblique sections can be shipped into shared memory to be used by other modules such as Region Of Interest to make quantitative measurements. Oblique orientation descriptors can be stored to a text file for automatic re-extraction at a later date, or the oblique sections themselves can be saved as a separate image file on disk.
Features exist to help visualize where one oblique section intersects others.
For example, any oblique section can be placed into a snapshot window with a line superimposed showing where a newly selected oblique intersects this slice. This module can be used, for instance, on a cardiac data set to resample and generate slices that are perpendicular to the true short axis of the heart. The Oblique Sections module allows you to view arbitrary oblique sections of an image in shared memory. To choose a file, left-click on the filename. Output Volume panel which is used to create a sequence of views.
