Image Capture

The capture button located in the lower right corner of the viewport allows creating various types of captures:

CaptureDisplay_Option1

Capture Display

The Capture Display option creates a capture of the viewport as illustrated below:

CaptureDisplay_Option1_1

which can be saved in JPEG, TIFF or can be copied to Clipboard.

The DICOM output is of interest because with the All slices option it can create a full volume of the images which can be saved for archival in a PACS system and inspected with any reviewing workstation. With the File the DICOM SC images are saved to disk, whereas the C-Store option supports direct network transfer to a DICOM server.

The Active Area or the Full Display may be saved. The toogle button Capture_ToogleButton allows overlaying in the capture the VOIs (if available) and the active annotations. The Save button starts the saving procedure.

Capture Full Screen

This options creates a capture of the entire screen (not only the PMOD window):

CaptureFullSCceen

which can be saved as JPEG, TIFF or copied to Clipboard. The Console option automatically appends the capture to the buffer for problem reporting.

The DICOM output supports two options:

  1. with the File the DICOM SC images are saved to disk
  2. with the C-Store option supports direct network transfer to a DICOM server.


Scientific Output

This option creates scientific captures of predefined sizes:

ScientificOutput_1

The Output witdth defines the capture size. The Actual size option allows obtaining exactly the same appearance in the capture like in the viewport. Optionally, Annotated Color Bar can be added to the capture enabling the dedicated check boxes. Two options are avaiable for the color bar postion: VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL. The color bar annotations correspond to the lower and upper threshold set for the image display while the units are read from the image header.

The Yes button opens a Scientific output settings window as illustrated below:

Scientific_Output_2

It allows adding the Image frame, Slice Number, Anatomical Annotation, Grid of predefined size, etc. Optionally, VOIs (if available) can be overlaid on the image. The Capture button allows saving the capture as JPEG, TIFF or to the Clipboard:

Scientific Capture_3

The DICOM output supports two options:

  1. with the File the DICOM SC images are saved to disk.
  2. with the C-Store option supports direct network transfer to a DICOM server.

The Save button starts the final saving procedure.
