    This will create

      Assign the same name to each drawing to create a DICOM segmentation volume.

    Thus, these drawings must have the same name on the entire volume.

    Info

    When you create a segmentation on an image, the information about the image and frame number

    will display

    appears in the image list.

    It is used to inform workstation users about

    This information describes a set of images that form a DICOM segmentation volume.

  3. Users must select

    Select the appropriate values in “Segmentation

    Properties:” section before a DICOM segmentation can be created.
    You need to

  4. When prompted, confirm that you want to create a DICOM segmentation.

    a segmentation.Once a segmentation has been created, opacity level can be adjusted via

    it, though you can adjust the opacity level using the opacity slider bar.

  5. When a user create more than one DICOM segmentation, each DICOM segmentation with the same name is grouped together. A name of DICOM segmentation will be added to the “Name:” drop-down box. Each DICOM segmentation requires “Segmentation Properties:” section to be appropriately filled before a DICOM segmentation can be crated, See step 5.

  6. For a study with DICOM segmentation objects, the workstation will automatically display DICOM segmentations on corresponding images.
