Options for correcting misaligned image slices in a volumetric dataset are available in the Slice Registration panel, which appears in a contextual window that provides a large display area for previewing registration results and manually correcting misaligned slices.
Right-click the dataset you need to align in the Data Properties and Settings panel and then choose Slice Registration in the pop-up menu to open the Slice Registration contextual window, shown below. You can choose to automatically align slices with a number of registration methods (see Aligning Slices Automatically) or to work in manual mode (see Aligning Slices Manually).

The Manipulate panel provides the tools that you may need to manipulate views in the workspace. You can pan, zoom, and scroll with these tools (see Using the Manipulate Tools).
Options and controls for automatically and manually aligning slices are available in the Slice Registration panel (see Slice Registration Methods and Settings).
You can adjust the leveling of the images in the workspace in the Window leveling panel (see Window Leveling).
For evaluating alignment results and for working in Manual mode, views of the selected dataset are arranged by default so that the image plane occupies two-thirds of the workspace and the XZ and YZ lateral views share the bottom third. You can change the default view by de-selecting the Display lateral views checkbox to maximize the view of the image plane. You can also resize the views, if required.
You can use the Using the 3D Cursor to quickly navigate through the image stack, as well as zoom, pan, and adjust window leveling with the interactive text annotations (see 2D Views). You can also use the tools on the Manipulate Panel (see Using the Manipulate Tools).

Preview windows are available for previewing and evaluating the Feature Base and Template Matching methods (see Feature Base Settings and Template Matching Settings). You can pan, zoom, and customize the window, as well as save the figure.
