Neuroimage Analysis Center An NCRR National Resource Center Image viewing is still predominantly 2D Native format of acquisition Precision dimensional measurements Multiplanar reformat (axial, sagittal, coronal) provides a natural (perhaps comfortable) navigation paradigm Lightbox provides a mechanism to display 3D relationships Oblique reformats provide a mechanism to mitigate 3D effects (improve accuracy of dimensional measurements) Longitudinal and cross-sectional comparisons build on the same framework of linked controls and coordinate frames Slicer3 allows all these capabilities to be layered due incorporation of coordinate frames at a fundamental level of the viewing pipeline
