15.6.2 Set Up Study List Module

Select the StudyList module from Installed modules and click the Settings button. The following parameters are set up in the Study list config window:

15.6.3 Set Up 3D Reconstruction Module

Select the 3D Reconstruction module from Installed modules and click the Settings button. The window contains two tabs with the following parameters:

  1. Render tab.

    By default, the imaging device is selected by the program automatically and is shown on the drop-down list as the Auto option. The cache memory limits that can be changed are displayed for this device. For each device on the drop-down list, the amount of memory available for caching is displayed.

    The fields for setting cache memory limits are provided with a restore recommended value button PIC . The restore recommended value button is displayed when the limit value provided is different from the recommended value. To restore the recommended value of a cache memory limit, click the PIC button in the respective field.

    PIC You cannot customize the cache memory limits for the CPU (software). The cache memory limits for this device are calculated on the basis of the values provided in the General tab (see Section 15.1).

  2. Segmentation tab. The following parameters are set up:

    • sets the default structure opacity;

    • option Invert edit mask on MPR can be checked/unchecked;
