Dual Volume viewing - control room (VExx)
This job aid will describe the workflow for creating a dual volume on VExx application software.
Dual Volume Viewing - Control Room (VExx) job aid Angiography – ARTIS software VExx An additional job aid is available on PEPconnect to determine the software version of the system. Dual Volumes are used to display and manipulate Mask and Sub images separately. For example, this allows bones, clips, or coils to be shown in a different color from the vessels. To visualize im- ages as a Dual Volume, a DSA or DSA DCT spin is required. A DR or DCT spin cannot be used, as they only reconstruct a single volume. Prerequisite: All three types of reconstructions are required to be in the Local Database – Sub, Nat Fill, and Nat Mask. If all three are NOT in the Local Database, this will not work. Users could create secondary reconstructions of the missing reconstructions. 3 3D Head Sub Medium EE Auto Mo [AX3D] XA 3 3D Head Nat Fill Medium HU Auto [AX3D] XA 3 3D Head Nat Mask Medium HU Auto [AX ...

Using the middle mouse button, the user can window the segments to visualize the volumes better. a) If only one volume is displayed, this can be done on the individual volumes; if loaded together, the position of the mouse will determine which volume is windowed. b) Windowing in the left half of the image segment affects Volume 1 only while win- dowing in the right half of the image affects Volume 2 only. 8.
