### About creating MPR images

Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR) enables you to view cross-sectional series in an orthogonal plane other than the original one.

Orthogonal planes

The following table describes the planes in which you can create MPR images.

Plane | Description
Axial | This plane runs parallel to the ground, dividing the standing body into top and bottom sections.
Coronal | This plane runs perpendicular to the ground, dividing the standing body into front and back sections.
Sagittal | This plane runs perpendicular to the ground, dividing the standing body into right and left sections.

Two ways to create MPR images

MPR images can be automatically created in one of the following situations:

| • | The display protocol currently applied to the study specifies to create MPR images for a particular viewport. See About display protocols.

| • | When a Bookmark is applied to the study, and the Bookmark contains saved MPR information. See Understanding Bookmarks.

In addition, you can manually create MPR images. See the following topics:

| • | Step 1: Specifying the MPR range

| • | Step 2: Creating the MPR images

Manipulating MPR images

You can perform the following tasks to MPR images:

| • | Change the viewport layout. See Setting the viewport layout

| • | Move through the images. See Navigating a series

| • | Link images. See Working with linked series

| • | Select images. See Selecting and deselecting images

| • | Display selected images only. See Specifying the series viewing scope

| • | Zoom and pan images. See Zooming and panning images

| • | Rotate and flip images. See Reorienting images

| • | Magnify a small area of the images. See Magnifying a region of interest (ROI)

| • | Adjust Window/Level. See Adjusting the Window/Level values

| • | Apply post processing to images. See Applying post processing

| • | Add temporary annotations. See Annotating images

| • | Play the MPR images as a cine clip. See Playing cine clips

Saving MPR images

The MPR images you create cannot be saved. The images are deleted when you close the study.
