Clipper

Clippers are used to selectively remove portions of a study from a 3D rendering. This is generally used to expose a part of anatomy or a pathology. Several types of clippers are available: Plane, Box, Ellipsoid and Cylinder.

To use the clipper, select View Tools (side panel).

• Plane  Front plane clipper. Click (or tap) on an image to enable the clipper. Drag to push the plane in and out.
• Box  Rectangular clipper. Click (or tap) on an image to enable the clipper. Drag a handle on the corner of the box to change the box size. Drag the center of the box to move it.
• Ellipsoid, Cylinder  Elliptical or cylindrical clipper. Click (or tap) on an image to enable the clipper. Drag the center of the shape to move it.
• Clear  Remove all clipping from the image.
• Reset  Reset the currently selected clipper to the default settings.
• Pin, Unpin  Lock or unlock the clipping changes that have been made to an image. This allows you to retain the current clipping while working with an image (rotating, zooming, etc.). Further clipping cannot be performed until the image is unpinned. Pin is not available for the Plane clipper.

Note
You can perform other actions, such as rotating the image, while using a clipper. You can also save a clipped image as a bookmarked image (see Share bookmarked images).
