THE 3D MODEL THAT APPEARS WITH VOLUME RENDERING IS VERY DARK AND CONTRASTY, oops, almost useless. is there a way to juggle those two to make a more useful image? thank you

Thank you for that, however my problem is not the slice views, my problem is that the 3d model in the upper right of my four up screen is too dark. It is just as dark in 4.11 That is what I want to lighten. Also in Slicer 4.11, where is the metadata control? I can’t find one or find metadata. Also n…

I’m not sure what you mean. If you load a model then it is loaded as gray - the same shade in 4.11 as in all earlier Slicer versions. Can you reproduce the problem with a publicly available data set or upload your data set somewhere and post the link? Can you post a screenshot?

[screen shot dark 3d model.jpg] thanks for helping. First of all where’s metadata in 4.11? here’s a screen shot of what I am asking about. The model in the upper right quadrant is very dark with high contrast., I want to be able to see it better. are there no controls for brightness and contrast …

I see now: you use volume rendering to visualize the volume. In most cases, you just need to select a CT preset in Display section to display a nice bone or soft-tissue rendering. Some CBCT scanners are not properly calibrated and you need to slightly adjust the “Shift” slider to compensate for inac…

Can you tell me where metadata is found in 4.11? .

Slicer is very frustrating. I have found no place that tells me how to get to the 3d model except through volume rendering and the presets thru Volume rendering look bizarre. there does not seem to be a slicer book.

Learning a new software takes time. Tutorials are usually good places to start. Your terminology is also not correct. Volume Rendering is not a 3D model, it is simply a visualization technique. To obtain 3D model from a CBCT (or any other voxel data), you have to do a segmentation using Segment Edit…

Thank you. I was just talking about the visualization which appears muddy. Which i was trying to correct. I export 3d models as stl. Btw can you tell me where metadata is found in 4.11?
