Cropping Datasets

If required, you can crop datasets — images, regions of interest, multi-ROIs — to the clip box defined by the Clip tool. You should note that cropping not only allows you to remove unwanted parts of the data, but can simplify segmentation. The result of this modification can be either a new dataset that is a subset of the original or a cropped original.
