Other interesting structures include following the path of a vein or artery. Un-wrapped fetal spine. The green arrows indicate the curve drawn in the reslice plane . The user can pan and zoom across the reslice plane Dimensions are displayed along the top line of the reslice window and scales are drawn in red. The new reslice tool offers the benefits of spatial compounding and the ability to perform 3D volume rendering without segmentation.
Segmentation is implicit by virtue of the reslice plane chosen and the thickness of the slice.
Rapid volume rendering in real time is possible. Slice thickness, and hence the amount of spatial compounding, is controlled interactively. This feature assists the depiction of structures from noisy data and is useful for visualisation in its own right, as well as assisting manual segmentation.
