in the Create group on the Patient tab of the Planning toolbar.When the created model shows irregularities, when artifacts interfere or distort proper diagnostic planning, when the occlusal plane is incorrect or when the overall visualization of the patient model needs to be improved, the patient model may be edited anytime. To do so, use one or more of the following methods:
— Use the Edit Patient action to adjust the VOI and isovalue.
— Patient Mask action: determine the region of interest for or clean up the created patient model by isolating a specific part to be shown, cutting a part off or adding specific parts to the model.
— Adjust level/window: use the level/window tool on the 3D viewer to adjust the range of the used transfer function. The model is adjusted in real time.
