3D Scatter Plots (from PFUS)

The 3D tool has a dedicated application for showing a scatter plot of the pixel values belonging to VOIs of three matched studies in PFUS. The example below shows the matched images of a brain tumor patient studied with fluorocholine, fluoroethyl tyrosine, and FDG PET. Two VOIs have been outlined, tumor and gray matter.

P3D Fusion of 3 Studies for 3D Scatter Plot

When Scatter Plot 3D is activated, the following rendering is generated. Each pixel is shown as a 3D symbol, with the VOI pixels grouped by the symbol color. In the 3D scatter mode there are some new P3D properties for adjusting the rendering as well as the annotations.
