### XXX.2.2 Volumetric Presentation States

Volumetric Presentation States have the following advantages:

- can be used to re-create the view and allow interactive creation of additional views

- supporting artifacts, such as Segmentation instances, are preserved and can be re-used

- allows collaboration between dissimilar clinical applications (e.g., a radiology application could create a view to be used as a starting point for a surgical planning application)

- measurements and annotations can be linked to machine-readable structured context to allow integration with reporting and analysis applications

- compact representation of dynamic views

and the following disadvantages:

- not yet supported by legacy systems

- consistency of presentation may vary

- requires access to the original volumetric data and any associated objects (such as segmentation or spatial registration instances)
