7 Batch Film

The Batch function allows you to rapidly set up a set of regularly spaced images, preview the
set as an animated sequence (batch loop) and film and save it.

7.1 Batch types

A batch can be one of the following types:
Parallel oblique batch: a series of parallel oblique slices along a common center line
•
• Radial oblique batch: a series of oblique slices generated radially around a common axis
• 3D batch: a series of 3D images obtained by rotating a 3D object around an axis
Batch loop: a series of 3D images obtained by rotating a 3D object in a continuous mode
•
A batch loop allows you to rotate the 3D model, to adjust the display speed and to stop it in
any position. You can select the number of views making up the loop, the FOV to use, etc. A
batch image set can be viewed step-by-step or as a batch loop. It can be filmed, and/or
saved on the image disk as a new series in the exam. To set up a batch you typically start
with a batch protocol. A default batch protocol is provided for each of the three types of
batches. You can use these as a starting point for your own custom batch protocols which
you can save and re-use.

7.2 Batch protocol

To set up a batch you typically start with a batch protocol. A default batch protocol is provided
for each of the three types of batches. You can use these as a starting point for your own
custom batch protocols which you can save and re-use.
A batch protocol defines:
• Batch mode: oblique or rotation.
•
Number of views and spacing between views (mm or degrees).
•
Spacing between views.
• Display field of view.
•
Slice thickness (and render mode for thick slices).
•
Output mode: this can be preview only, film, archive, film + archive, filmer images or filmer
movies. If you select film mode, you can also define the film layout.
When creating and saving your own custom batch protocol, you have two options:
•
Add it to the list of existing batch protocols for the current loading/processing protocol.
•
Combine it with the current loading/processing protocol to create a new loading/processing
protocol. Create a custom multiple-batch protocol by combing two or more batch protocol
setups.
