Labelmap

Simple workflow

• Volume: Select the volume/labelmap that you want to reposition. See here the instructions to load data into Bender.
• Colors: Select the color transfer function to apply to the volume . It will The transfer function is used to
• Apply: Set the color transfer function to the volume.
• LPS<->RAS: Apply a (-1,-1, 1) transform to the volume. It can be used to apply the same coordinate system used by Bender to the volume. The "R,L,A,P,S,I" letters on the purple box in the 3D view represent the orientations "Right, Left, Anterior, Posterior, Superior, Inferior".

Advanced workflow

• Go To Volumes: Go to the Volumes module to read volume information (such as its size, origin, spacing, scalar type, range...) and display properties (window/level, threshold, interpolation...)
