i.e., the size of the final image.
MPR Multi Planar Reconstruction; enables new images in any orientation
to be reconstructed based on an image data set.
From one raw data set, it is possible to reconstruct several image
sets with different parameter settings (reconstruction jobs).
Computation of the CT image from the measured raw data.
Imposed graphic line in an image referring to another view or
