   Important

   It is important to load images before loading the raw spectra files.  If no images exist for this study, blank dummy images will need to be created with the proper header information.  Images can be blanked using the formula function in the Math dialog (For ,,=,0).  Header information can be modified using the Dicom Header dialog.

3. Load a raw spectra file through the File Selection Dialog or the File Load Dialog.

   Note

   Once the raw spectra is loaded, the spectra coordinates will be displayed in the footer of the Display Windows, instead of image pixel coordinates.

Dialog Items

	Spectral Width Enter a value for the Spectral Width of the raw spectral data.
	Slice Number Enter a value for the Slice Number to load from the P-file. Note When the Slice Number is changed, the location for that slice will be displayed from the localizer images. However, the location from the P-file will be used during processing.
	Domain Select Time for time domain data. Select Frequency for frequency domain data.
	Accession # Enter a string for the Accession # to be used when saving Dicom images and files after Spectroscopic processing.  If left blank, this information will be retrieved from the P-file.
