## XXX.2 Volumetric Presentation States vs. Static Derived Images

A Volumetric Presentation State creator is likely to be capable of also creating a derived static image (such as a secondary capture image) representing the same view. Depending on the use case, either a Volumetric Presentation State or a Secondary Capture image or both may be preferred.

### XXX.2.1 Static Derived Images

Static derived images are intended for direct viewing, and have the following advantages:

- supported by a wide variety of viewers

- minimal display consistency issues - particularly when paired with a Softcopy Display Presentation State

- no volumetric processing is required

and the following disadvantages

- cannot be used to re-create the view from the volume data and then interactively manipulate the view

- dynamic views may require the creation of a large number of individual instances
