Segment

Available for 3D views. Use to view and edit tissues.

Note
Changes made with the Segment tool are not saved when you close the study. However you can save a static screenshot using a secondary capture image (see Share secondary capture images).

To view a tissue:

  1. Select a 3D view.
  2. Select Tissue (side panel). The Tissue panel contains part segmentation results by tissue.
  3. Select a tissue from the panel. You can select multiple tissues to view simultaneously.

To edit a tissue:

  1. In the Tissue panel, select beside a tissue, then select Segment.

    The Current Tissue area shows the tissue you are currently editing. This area also contains rendering presets you can apply to the tissue.

  2. You can use the Segmentation tool to edit the tissue. See the following section for details.
  3. Select Undo to undo the last change made to the tissue.
  4. Select Reset to remove all changes made to the tissue.

Note
If you do not select a tissue, any changes you make with the Segment tool will be saved as a new tissue. You can also create a new tissue based on an existing tissue. If you edit an existing tissue then deselect the tissue in the Tissue panel, the edited tissue will be added as a new tissue. You can only create one new tissue.
