Here you can specify which projection/rendering mode you want to use to display the 3D volume. There are three view modes available. To activate the desired view mode, click on the corresponding button.

Parameter

Description

Transparency

Activates the Transparency rendering mode where the structures in the image are rendered in a similar fashion as in the Volume mode. This render mode is particularly suitable for dense image data. The key difference is an applied edge enhancement filter to allow more focus on relevant structures within the data while simultaneously fading out homogenous and less important areas.

Volume

Activates the Volume mode where the structures in the image are rendered as three-dimensional objects and illuminated by means of a virtual light source. This allows a realistic and, in contrast to the maximum projection mode, a quantitative display of the volume.

Maximum

Activates the Maximum intensity projection mode where only the pixels with the highest intensity are displayed along the observation axis.
