6.3. Creating segmented structure

6.3.1 Creating a structure by copying

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Functionality is available in the Pro edition
____________________________________________________________________________________________

When you create a structure by copying, a new structure is created. Depending on the selected element, the current structure is copied to the new structure as a whole (the mask of the current structure and the surface, if it was built), only the mask of the structure or only the surface. To create a structure:

Open the segmentation panel by clicking the Segmented structure panel button.

Choose the base volume or the structure created earlier as the initial volume.

Click the Duplicate structure button on the segmented structure panel or place the cursor over the structure, click the right mouse button and choose the Duplicate structure point in the right-click menu. Depending on the option selected, the whole structure or just the surface is copied to a separate structure.

If the Structure or Base volume option has been selected, the structure mask and the surface (when built) are copied to the new structure.
If the MPR, Volume model, or Mask option has been selected, only the structure mask is copied to the new structure.
If the Surface option has been selected, only the surface is copied to the new structure.

6.3.2 Creating a Structure with a Empty Mask

To create a structure with a empty mask, proceed as follows:

Open the segmentation panel by clicking the Segmented structure panel button.

Click the Add a new segmentation structure button. Set the mask in the dialog that opens (see Section 6.2.1). A structure is created with an empty structure mask and an editing mask with the speciﬁed parameters.
Fill out the structure using volume editing tools (see Section 6.8).
