5.17.5 Acquiring/Importing CT/MR Volume Data
Note
Only support DICOM CT/MR volume data.
The following CT/MR volume data not accepted:
Slices less than 4;
Discontinuous or corrupted data;
Slice space not equal or larger than 5 mm;
Data from varied alignment (tissue, plane);
The liver enveloped in CT/MR volume data.
The registration effect will be better if the CT/MR volume data already bears
the data of Contrast Imaging with the ultrasound image.
Acquiring CT/MR Volume Data
Two methods to obtain CT/MR volume data:
Method 1: acquiring CT/MR volume data from network server.
Note:
It is only applied to the Ultrasound System that is configured with DICOM software
package. See also Chapter 2.4.3 Options.
The storage path should be short and clear for network server obtaining. Space or
Chinese character is not allowed.
