3D Cursor and 3D Lines

3D Cursor

3D cursor is a cross that marks a point that matches the volume in all projections
The 3D cursor works synchronously across different series and studies when series and studies are synchronized
Dragging the 3D cursor causes the images to scroll synchronously in all projections

Enable / Disable 3D Cursor

• Click in the toolbar, group "3D", subgroup "3D Navigation":
  • - disabled
  • - enabled

Using the 3D Cursor for Manual Synchronization of Different Studies of the Same Patient

• Disable study synchronization
• Move the 3D cursor to the desired point in one study
• Move the 3D cursor to the desired point in another study
• Enable manual synchronization

Set a Point for the 3D Cursor on the Image

• Move the mouse cursor to the desired point on the image
• Hold down the key on the keyboard
• Click the left mouse button

3D Lines

3D lines are lines that mark a plane in different projections
3D Lines work synchronously across different series and studies when series and studies are synchronized
Dragging and rotating 3D lines results in synchronized scrolling and rotation of images in all projections
When you hover over a 3D line, the frame of the corresponding projection panel is highlighted in the same color

Enable / Disable 3D Lines

• Click in the toolbar, group "3D", subgroup "3D Navigation":
  • - disabled
  • - enabled

Note: For MRI, the display of 3D Lines can be disabled
Help - Settings - Specialties - MRI - uncheck the box next to "Show 3D cursor lines in MPR"

Image Navigation Using 3D Lines

• Central part of 3D Lines (red color - sagittal projection, green - coronal, blue - axial) - scrolling through the corresponding projections
• Intermediate part of 3D Lines (yellow color) - changing the reconstruction slice thickness
• Ends of 3D Lines (white color) - rotating the projections
