Figure C.11.26-1. Volume Rendering with visualization of MPR plane orientation and resulting PLANAR MPR rendering

A PLANAR MPR is a thin slice or thick slab of the input volume defined by a geometric plane as illustrated by Figure C.11.26-1. Figure C.11.26-2 and Figure C.11.26-3 depict the relationships between MPR Geometry Module attributes and Thin and Slab MPR views, respectively.

Figure C.11.26-2. Planar MPR THIN Geometry

The following attributes describe the PLANAR MPR:

- MPR View Width Direction (0070,1507) and MPR View Height Direction (0070,1511) specify the orientation of the MPR view rectangle in the Volumetric Presentation State Reference Coordinate System

- MPR View Width (0070,1508) and MPR View Height (0070,1512) specify the size of the MPR view rectangle in the Volumetric Presentation State Reference Coordinate System

- MPR Top Left Hand Corner (0070,1505) species the position of the upper-left corner of the MPR view rectangle in the Volumetric Presentation State Reference Coordinate System

- MPR Thickness Type (0070,1502) specifies whether the MPR is created by taking a single sample for each pixel (THIN) or by creating an orthographic rendering of a slab volume with a defined thickness using the method defined by Compositing Method (0070,1206) (SLAB). If the specified thickness is below an application-determined limit the resulting view shall be treated as a THIN MPR.

- MPR Slab Thickness (0070,1503) specifies the thickness of the slab if MPR Thickness Type (0070,1502) is SLAB. The slab volume is positioned such that the MPR view defined by MPR View Width Direction (0070,1507), MPR View Width (0070,1508), MPR View Height Direction (0070,1511), MPR View Height (0070,1512), and MPR Top Left Hand Corner (0070,1505) is at the midpoint of the slab thickness.
