The Segmented Structures Panel for 3D reconstruction window is shown in Fig. 6.3. In the MPR window the panel looks like.

The panel contains the Control buttons:

	The Add a new segmented structure button creates a new structure for a visible parts of a model.
	The Copy the segmented structure button creates a structure from an existing structure or the base volume.
	The Restore segmented structure makes the main volume the same as the selected segmented structure (only for the Volume Reconstruction window).
	The Remove segmented structures button removes the selected structure.
	The Export segmented structure button exports the selected structure to a series of DICOM images.
	The Create surface for current segment button creates a surface for the selected structure or for the base volume.
	The Remove surface for current segment button removes a surface for the selected structure or for the base volume.
	The Export mesh button exports the surface of the selected structure to a ply, obj or stl file formats.
	The Import surface button imports the segmented structure from ply, obj or stl file formats.
	The Click and Drag segmentation It creates a structure at the point where the cursor is located and produces its growth within the mask when the cursor is removed from the starting point. The algorithm for constructing the structure takes into account the shape of the mask and performs less intensive growth in those directions in which the mask could be built wrongly.

Volume and statistics for the density are calculated for each structure (Fig. 6.4).
