Once the desired keV energy is visualized, go back to the exam interface to make a new reconstruction at that energy. Navigate to the Recon Ranges on the left side of the screen, mouse-click on the first reconstruction, and select Repeat. Note: If the patient exam is closed, go to the patient browser, select the study, right-click the mouse, and select Recon at the bottom of the drop-down menu to re-open the exam.
