Image Processing Window

Provides basic tools for manipulating views, adjusting window leveling, selecting the 2D view properties, and synchronizing previews with the original data (see Using the Manipulate Tools, Window Leveling, 2D Scene's Views Properties, and Synchronizing Scenes Views).

Controls for applying standard image filters and arithmetic operations to image data are available in the Image Processing panel, shown below.

Operations

Provides controls for adding operations to a workflow, selecting inputs and processing settings, and previewing operations on representative dataset slices. If required, you can synchronize the zoom factor, stacking, and window level between the original data and previews (see Synchronizing Scenes Views).

Output

Provides options for selecting the required outputs from an image processing workflow and applying operations. Processing operations can be applied by one of two mechanisms — either at the input so that the original image data is modified, or at the output so that a new dataset is created.

Unless you choose to work with the Advanced Options, all inputs in the Image Processing panel must have the same characteristics — size, location, spacing, orientation, and data type — to be used simultaneously in a standard image processing workflow. With the Advanced Options, you can choose inputs with variable sizes, location, and spacing, as well as select different geometries and data types for your image processing outputs (see Working with the Advanced Options).

Allows you to evaluate the effects of applying selected operations at their current settings. Previews can be synchronized with the original data for easy reference (see Synchronizing Scenes Views).

Provides access to imported image data and exported outputs, as well as tools such as line profiles and histograms (see Data Properties and Settings Panel). See Profiling Intensity and Plotting Region Histograms for information about examining intensity profiles and distributions for evaluating filtering effects.
