 |
XY orientation | Displays the XY plane of the volume. In LPI-oriented volumes, this is equivalent to the axial (horizontal) view. |
 |
XZ orientation | Displays the XZ plane of the volume. In LPI-oriented volumes, this is equivalent to the coronal view. |
 |
YZ orientation | Displays the YZ plane of the volume. In LPI-oriented volumes, this is equivalent to the sagittal view. |
 |
View single slice | Displays the currently selected slice of the volume in a single plane. |
 |
View orthogonal planes | Displays the currently selected slice of the volume in three planes (xy, xz, and yz). |
 |
View lightbox 3×3 | Displays the currently selected slice and plane with the next eight slices in the same plane in a 3 by 3 arrangement. |
 |
Rotate active image 90 degrees counter-clockwise | Rotates the primary volume 90° counter-clockwise. This does not change the volume’s file, only how it’s displayed. |
 |
Rotate active image 90 degrees clockwise | Rotates the primary volume 90° clockwise. This does not change the volume’s file, only how it’s displayed. |
 |
Flip active image left-right | Switches the primary volume’s left and right. This does not change the volume’s file, only how it’s displayed. |
 |
Flip active image up-down | Switches the primary volume’s top and bottom. This does not change the volume’s file, only how it’s displayed. |
 |
Rotate active image 180 degrees | Rotates the primary volume 180°. This does not change the volume’s file, only how it’s displayed. |
 |
Reset rotation for active image | Resets the view of the volume to its original orientation. |
