Parameters

Image

The main Image, who's position is to be shown.

Intersection

Whether the intersection should be used - see remarks for details

Return Value

This method is used which you wish to show the relative positions of one image on another. It is typically used in CT and MRI to indicate the position of main imaging sections relative to a previously obtained localizer or �scout� image.

The method is called on the �localizer� image, and the first parameter is the main section who�s position is to be shown. The result is a new DicomLabel object which is designed to be added to the localizer image�s Labels collection. e.Graphics. if �localizer� and �main_image� are defined as DicomObjects, then the following code will add an appropriate reference line to the localizer image:

NewLabel = localizer.ReferenceLine(main_image, false)
Localizer.Labels.Add(NewLabel)

If the images are orthogonal, then the �Intersection� parameter is not used, and the DicomLabel returned will always be of type LabelType.Line, but if they are not, then it controls how this is handled:

• If true, then the DicomLabel will still be of type LabelType.Line, representing the intersection of the two image planes.
• If false, then the DicomLabel returned will be of type LabelType.Polygon with 4 vertices, each representing the projection of a corner of the main image onto the plane of the localizer.
