1. | Review the Outer Contour ① by rotating the 3D view and scrolling through all slices. The ACS slices display the tissue model consisting of the Outer Contour in blue ② and the couch top model ③ (if a couch top model was previously selected). The tissue model is shown in gray/white and the original CT in amber ⑤. |
2. | If the results are not satisfactory, use the tools in the Outer Contour drop-down menu ④ to edit the blue outline in the axial, sagittal and coronal slices. You may also select Back ⑥ and modify the Outer Contour using the Crop function. |
3. | Select Next ⑦ to proceed. The Configuration panel opens. |
