 | Substance
Perform substance combination by putting each possible overlap areas from
the images into a different range. Only the entered slice ranges for each
image will be included in the combination, all other values are ignored. All
ranges are contained between 1 and 250.
Output
 | Select Single Values to create image(s) where each substance is represented by a single, unique value.
|
 | Select Range to create image(s) where each substance has a unique range of values. |
Method
 | Select Threshold Only
to use the thresholds to determine the areas for each substance. |
 | Select Roi Only to use
regions of interest to determine the areas for each substance. The
regions of interest should be saved for each image with "voi" for and
extension. |
 | Select Threshold under
Roi to use thresholds under each region of interest to determine
the areas for each substance. The regions of interest should be saved for
each image with "voi" for an extension. |
|
 |
Slice Ranges
 | Enter a value for the lower value of the slice
range for the first image in Low (Image 1). |
 | Enter a value for the upper value of the slice
range for the first image in High (Image 1).
.

.
|
 | Enter a value for the lower value of the slice range for the
nth image in Low (Image n).
|
 | Enter a value for the upper value of the slice range for the
nth image in High (Image n).
|
Note
Theses are used only when Threshold
Only or Threshold under Roi are
selected.
Defaults
Low = 0.25, High = 1.75.

Include
Use this option to select which tissues to use and which to
combine into an "other" category. If selected, the tissue will be
used, otherwise, the tissue will be put in the other category. All
tissues that are not included are treated as a single tissue, called
"other." |
 |
Substance Reassignments
 | S1: 1: Assignment of the first substance (overlap area) to a possibly different substance. The 1 indicates the area where the first
image overlaps no other image. |
 | S2: 1,2: Assignment of the second substance (overlap area) to a possibly different substance. The 1,2 indicates the area where image 1 overlaps image 2.

|
 | Sm: n: Assignment of the last substance (overlap area) to a possibly different substance. The n indicates the area where n, the last image, overlaps no other image.
|
Note
By default all overlap areas are not reassigned. Those that the
user reassigns will be mapped into the alternate overlap area, which will
reduce the number of substance overlaps in the final image. This option permits more
values for each remaining substance.

 |
Volume
Press Volume
to calculate the volume of the substances, using optional regions of
interest to define the area to calculate the volume over.
 | Select Calculate Length to calculate the longest
dimension of each overlap region. |
|
 |
Repeat
Press Repeat
to perform substance on other images. The images will be put in the
correct order after processing has completed.
Note
Previous results of repeat processing need to be deleted
manually for images saved in Dicom format. |
