InSpace
provides an extensive assortment of features for medical
imaging volume visualization. InSpace is a totally interactive
tool. You can change any setting within InSpace and instantly
see the resultant image for true real-time imaging. Real-time
imaging allows you to be in control of imaging process and
produce superior results. InSpace's ease of use makes it
perfect for the radiologist, clinician, and technologist.

| Common
syngo User Interface
InSpace
features the syngo user interface style. You will feel comfortable
with InSpace immediately. Smart mouse modes provide for
easy manipulation of imaging parameters such as view orientation,
window width-level, clip planes, and zoom factor.

Image
Rendering Mode
InSpace
can display the volume using a number of different methods.
You can switch the imaging method on the fly. InSpace provides
the highest quality image rendering.

| View
Layout
Many
different view layouts are supported within InSpace: one
view, two views, and four views. In addition, each view
can be resized dynamically to allow a mixture of smaller
views with larger views. You can load multiple data volumes
and use separate views to display multiple studies
side-by-side.

|
| Clip
Planes
The
removal of obscuring structures during 3D viewing of volume
datasets is often necessary for optimal evaluation. InSpace
provides clip planes to quickly and easily remove objects
from the view. You can also use clip planes to interactively
view a cut-plane in the volume similar to an MPR. However
unlike a MPR, the cut-plane is displayed within the 3D view.
The orientation of a clip plane can also be transferred
to the standard MPR view providing for easy oblique MPR
display.

Input
Volume
You
can display volume image data from many sources in InSpace:
CT, MRI, and 3D Angio. Input volumes of up to 1600 slices
at 512x512 matrix can be loaded and displayed with the VolumePro
option. InSpace can display multiple volumes simultaneously
in separate views (the number of volumes is limited only
by the number of slices). With the optional VolumePro, the
3D images are calculated using the full 12-bit input dynamic
range of the input data.

Volume
Editing
Sooner
or later you will want to display a dataset that requires
the removal of complex structures from the view for optimal
evaluation. The volume editing tool will allow you remove
arbitrarily complex shapes from the view to get that optimal
image. You simply draw polygonal shapes on the 3D image
and InSpace will remove or keep everything inside or outside
of the shape.

Measurement
& Annotation
With
InSpace you can make measurements of lengths and angles,
annotate images with text comments and arrows. All annotation
and measurement is filmed along with the image.

Presets
InSpace
comes with a wide variety of presets that store the settings
used to create the 3D images. InSpace has Real-time Preview
of presets; when you browse a preset, the preview window
will show the effect of applying that preset to your currently
loaded volume dataset. You can create customized presets,
and import/export presets to share with other users. Presets
can store more than just window width and level; all imaging
parameters can be saved in a preset allowing for highly
customized capabilities. You can also link a preset to an
imaging protocol series description; when a dataset with
the series description is loaded the appropriate preset
is automatically applied.

Ranges
When
a set range of viewing angles are required for a viewing
protocol you can use the Ranges window to quickly create
those batch views. The range window lets you pick the starting
and ending viewing orientation, the number of views and
the spacing of the views. The resulting images can be filmed,
output to a digital movie, or saved back into the database.
Range macros are provided to save the range parameters for
later use.

Output
You
can document your InSpace session by filming images to any
syngo compatible filming device. Images can be saved back
into the image database and sent to other devices via DICOM
or archived to CD-R. Images can be exported to external
formats such as BMP and TIFF. Using InSpace you can create
digital movies in AVI format that captures the true interactive
nature of InSpace.

| 3D
Angio Support
InSpace
provides unprecedented integration when paired with a compatible
Axiom Artis Angiography system, InSpace will display a virtual
C-arm in the imaging window. InSpace can create a viewing
orientation matching the current C-arm orientation (and
stay oriented as the C-arm moves). The C-arm can also be
moved to match the current InSpace viewing orientation.
