Annotate and Mask Images
The Annotations/Mask panel (Figure A5-6) contains the tools to annotate images. Table A5-4 describes
the tools and their functions.
Image annotations are divided into two categories:
• Image annotation – Lines, ellipses, Cobb angle, user annotation (notes), and RL markers added by the
operator to measure or bring attention to a section of the image. You draw or place these
annotations on the image as appropriate. Refer to
(p. A5-13) for more
information.
• System annotation – Information that is kept by the system, such as identifying information,
exposure and acquisition information, and processing information. These annotations are displayed
as text at the corners of the image. You may select which annotations appear, but you cannot control
where the annotations are placed.
