How to Create 3D Parallel Ranges

How to Create 3D Parallel Ranges Computed Tomography 3D Parallel Ranges allow volumetric data (usually presented as Axial slice image data) to be reformatted into other anatomic planes or projections (such as Coronal, Sagittal and/or Oblique). 1. From the Patient Browser, load an appropriate data set into the 3D Task Card. It is recommended to use thin-sliced data with a 50% overlap for best results. 2. To create a Coronal, Sagittal or Oblique range, use the existing Axial data as a planning base. Click in the Axial segment to make it active (active segments will be displayed with a bold border). 3. Enable Parallel Ranges by clicking the Parallel Ranges icon. 4. Define the desired image thickness and distance between images.
