Exclude
The
Exclude
function allows an operator to delete tissue from a scan region. The excluded area is subtracted
from the resulting calculations.
Scan data is not changed, but tabulated result values are affected by this operation. The excluded region can be
brought back by re-analyzing the scan.
Note:
If an external object such as buttons or zippers are included in the scan region, it is better to re-
scan the patient after removing the object. Using the Exclude function deletes underlying or superior
tissue values in the excluded region from the calculations.
1. In the Scan Results tab of the Filmstrip view, right-click to open the menu shown below. Confirm that
Baseline is checked.
Note:
All non-bone tissue in the scan image will be displayed in the baseline color or shade. (Not
related to density spectrum.)
2. Right click again to open the menu and select Image Analysis > Modify Region.
3. Click the
button.
