Image Data Pop-Up Menu

A pop-up menu is available in the Data Settings and Properties to provide access tools for processing image data and to export, import, and copy objects.

Dataset pop-up menu options
	Description
Crop	Opens the Dataset Cropper panel. In this panel you can crop datasets to the bounding box defined with the Clip box tool (see Cropping Datasets).
Sample	Opens the Dataset Sampler panel. In this panel you can modify the image spacing of slices within a volumetric dataset by upsampling or downsampling (see Sampling Datasets).
Convert	Opens the Convert Dataset panel. In this panel you can restructure data according to different analysis needs (see Converting Image Data).
Invert	Opens the Invert Dataset panel. In this panel you can invert data within a dataset (see Inverting Datasets).
Dataset Properties	Opens the Dataset Properties panel. The basic and advanced properties related to a dataset can be viewed and modified here (see Dataset Properties).
Generate Contour Mesh	Generates a contour mesh from data values above a selected threshold (see Generating Contour Meshes from Image Data).
Dataset Registration	Allows you to register multiple datasets to a baseline by modifying the position and rotation of the selected dataset (see Registering Datasets).
Dataset Slice Registration	Lets you to align the slices within a dataset to build a consistent image stack (see Aligning Image Stacks).
Segment with Classifier	Lets you automatically segment image data with any of the classifiers that you created or downloaded for trainable segmentation (see Segmenting Image Data with Trained Classifiers).
Apply Registration to Other Dataset(s)	Lets you apply the transformations used to register datasets to another dataset.
Export Images	Opens the Save As dialog. You can export datasets to a number of different file formats (see Exporting Images).
Export as ORSObject	Saves the dataset in the ORS Object File (*.ORSObject extension). See Exporting Objects.
Execute Macro	Provides a shortcut for selecting macros that can be executed for the selected image data.
Derive New from Current View	Lets you create a new 3D volume that is aligned to the selected viewing angle (see Deriving New from Current View).
Align with Current View	Automatically rotates the selected volume so that the selected axis is aligned to the Z-axis of the world coordinate system.
Align Centroid With	Lets you automatically align the centroid of the selected dataset with the centroid of another object. Applicable objects include volumetric image data, regions of interest, multi-ROIs, and meshes. Reference objects can be selected in Choose the object to align with dialog.
Apply Transformation From	To help maintain consistency when you work with multiple objects, you can apply the transformations, such as translations and rotations, that were applied to a reference object to the selected image data. You should note that only objects that were translated and/or rotated, will be available in the Choose an object dialog as the reference.
New Greylevel Multi-ROI	Creates a multi-ROI in which each value in the dataset is assigned a label. If there are 2,000 values in the dataset, then there will be 2,000 objects in the created multi-ROI. Usually done after post-processing, such as creating a distance map, to create a sparse representation of the gray tones in a dataset.
Dijkstra Shortest Path Map	Creates a distance for a selected region of interest using Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes. Refer to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm for more information about Dijkstra's algorithm.
Fast Marching Speed Map	Creates a distance map for a selected region of interest using the numerical method created by James Sethian for solving boundary value problems of the Eikonal equation. Refer to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_marching_method for more information about the fast marching method.
New Dataset from Marked Slices	Lets you extract a new dataset from marked image slices (see Extracting New Datasets from Marked Slices).
Normalize Histogram	Lets you normalize the histogram of a selected dataset to the histogram of another dataset.
Copy	Copies the selected dataset and adds it to the list at the top of the Data Properties and Settings panel.
Remove	Removes the selected dataset from the Data Properties and Settings panel. All views related to the dataset will also be removed from the workspace.
Resample Shape	Copies the intersected values of the selected object(s) into the geometry (or shape) of another object to create a new dataset. Might be necessary if you need to extract statistics from an ROI or multi-ROI, such as the minimum, maximum, or mean values of corresponding image data (see Statistical Properties), or intend to compute other measures that require consistent shapes. Enter a new name for the sampled object in the Name field. Choose the object with the required geometry in the Geometry drop-down menu. Click OK. The intersected values are copied into the new shape and the resulting object appears in the Data Properties and Settings panel.
Inpaint	Can be used to remove small defects within an image or to replace lost or corrupted parts of image data (see Inpainting).
