Exporting 3D volumes

With DICOM support, you can export a 3D volume by downloading it as a file or sending it to a third-party application.

To export a 3D volume

1. If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search box to access the patient's record.

   Note: You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients switch to On.

2. Do one of the following:
