To reselect the volume, click on it again. If you move your cursor over the
volume—selected or unselected—the border will change to gold.
You can create as many volumes on an image as you want.
After you create a volume, you can view your data (area, density, etc.) by
selecting the Volume Analysis Report from the Reports menu.
Tips
The volume you draw should completely surround the data you want to
quantitate. You should also adjust for background intensity
You may want to experiment with several different volumes drawn around
the same object before selecting the one that gives you the best quantitation
data.
Displaying Volumes
To display previously created volumes after opening an image, select Volume
Overlay Tools from the Edit menu or main toolbar.
If you have concealed all your overlays using Hide Overlays, clicking on any
of the buttons on the Volume Overlay Tools toolbar will display the hidden
volumes.
16.2 Moving, Copying, and Deleting Volumes
You can move, copy, or delete a single volume or group of volumes within an
image. You can also copy and paste volumes between images.
First, you must select the volume(s). Click on the Select Tool button on the
Volume toolbar. To select a single volume, click on it. To select multiple
volumes, either drag a box around them or hold down the SHIFT key while
you click on them one at a time. When dragging to select a group of objects,
make sure that you completely surround all the objects to be selected.
Each selected volume will have a green border.
