Chapter 4. Series Fusion

There are certain peculiarities associated with fused series depending on the type of the rendering device:

On a CPU-based renderer, the display of merged series may not be accurate in the Volume reconstruction tab.
For the CUDA renderer, no more than four fused series may be displayed in the Volume reconstruction tab.
For OpenCL and Metal rendering devices, no more than four fused series may be displayed in the Volume reconstruction tab and no more than eight fused series may be displayed in theMPR reconstruction tab.

To be suitable for fusion, series must comply with the following requirements:

the images in the series must be monochrome;
there must be an opportunity to sort the images by the position and the phase;
for multiphase series, the number of phases must be equal. Yet, it is possible to fuse a single-phase series with a multiphase series.

The series obtained as a result of fusion cannot be fused again.

The procedure of viewing fused series is the same as viewing series in the ﬂat image viewer tab. It is described in Section 2.7.
