Volume Mode
Volume Rendered Image of a Shell Contour
The shell contour is used to define which voxels in the
3D ultrasound dataset are part of the shell geometry and
which are outside. Voxels outside the shell contour are
not displayed in the Volume Rendered image.
(Shell) Volume Calculation
The (shell) volume is defined as the difference between the volume defined by the outer surface
(of the shell geometry) and the volume defined by the inner surface (of the shell geometry).
(Shell) Niche presentation
The niche presentation allows the visualization of slices and the shell contour
in one image. The presentation gives a 3D overview about the orientation of
the slices and the shell contour.
