Blow up displays the selected image in the size of the display area. With Acquisition size, you show the selected images in their original resolution. This makes graphic and textual annotations particularly easy to see. With Magnify ROI, you can magnify an image area on all selected images. (ROI = region of interest.) Zoom/Pan allows stepless scaling and panning with the mouse. syngo® Imaging The zoom factor is displayed in the image text top left: 34 Thus you can precisely interpret the image size at every magnification stage. syngoImaging_QG.book Page 35 Monday, June 23, 2008 3:19 PM Studio Evaluating images syngo Imaging provides extensive support to the radiologist with evaluation of images. Perform measurements and add annotations to the images. The measuring precision is heavily dependent on the modality in which the images were created. The Label image function allows you to place text annotations in an image. The Measure angle function allows you to calculate the angle between two lines that you draw with the mouse. Angle The Distance function allows you to measure the distance between two points that you define with the mouse. As of V31A, you can calibrate the distance line for an object with known size for projection images such as ultrasound (US) or digital radiography (DR). syngo® Imaging Text annotation 35 syngoImaging_QG.book Page 36 Thursday, June 19, 2008 3:22 PM Studio With the Pixel lens, you determine the current density/grayscale value at the position of the mouse cursor. Click to place a measuring point which is then displayed permanently. Length Grayscale value Define an image area (ROI) and evaluate it. Example: Rectangle ROI. For this ROI, the area, the minimum and maximum grayscale value, the number of pixels, and the averaging value/standard deviation of the grayscale values are displayed. The displayed value selection can be configured. Rectangle syngo® Imaging Ellipse 36 Circle, rectangle, ellipse, and freehand line ROIs are available. syngoImaging_QG.book Page 37 Thursday, June 19, 2008 3:22 PM Studio Key images During reporting you have the opportunity of marking particular images as relevant to your report.
