Chapter 14 View Images

1 Overview

You view images through a series of viewports and access images using the File Manager. You
can also view and work with images and set image-viewing preferences on the Reconstruction
and Image Processing window. This window is available during the scan session and when
accessing raw scan data via Scan Data Manager.

1.1 Viewports Overview

Images display on a series of viewing areas called
(left) and the image monitor (right).
Viewports on the scan display are used during the scanning process. Viewports on the image
monitor are used during image processing and when accessing images through the File
Manager.
A viewport becomes active or receives primary focus by clicking on it. At that point, the border
around the image turns blue. You can window level, magnify and perform other image
manipulation functions without affecting other images currently displayed on the screen.
Any viewport can be expanded to double size by clicking the [Expand] icon
menu for the viewport. To return the viewport to its normal size, click the same icon.
To expand a viewport in File Manager, click the Expand button above the viewport
the Minimize button to return to return the viewport to its normal size.
