Chapter 2 - Using Preview
Locate a slice you want to “drop” in the model by scrolling or stepping through
slices.
Turning off the Current Slice
When you want to discontinue the current slice display in the model, you can Toggle the
Current Slice button on the model view bar.
Dropping a Slice into the Model
The Drop Slice Into Model command places the current scan slice (from the last active
Slice window) into its corresponding position in the 3D model. The same Drop Slice
remains in the model, even if you view a different slice in the Slice area.
Dropping a slice helps you view and verify the relationship of the scan slice to the 3D
model. You will use dropped slices later in this chapter for volume and centerline
(bloodflow path) calculations.
1. “Drop” the slice into the model.
Press Ctrl-D, or select Drop Slice Into Model from the Slices menu. M2S
Preview sets the two-dimensional slice into the 3D model. You can make
additional format changes to the model with the slice in place.
