English: Movie of loading and volume rendering procedure. This video shows the process of starting the TINA Manual Landmark tool and loading data. The user first starts the Manual Landmark tool and the Volume Rendering dialog box, opens a number of Tv's (graphics display windows), and starts the Sequence tool, which is used for loading 3D medical images. Four of the Tv's are associated with the various 2D graphics output streams of the Manual Landmark tool and the Sequence tool. The user then loads a DICOM image volume containing a 3D micro-CT image of a Mus musculus skull with a size of 658 × 658 voxels × 1000 slices, setting the down-sampling factor to 2 on all axes of the volume. Once the data has been loaded, the tool automatically initialises the 3D cursor (the red cross-hair) at the centre of the volume and displays three orthogonal slices through this point, aligned with the major axes of the volume. The user then switches the volume renderer on, and displays its output on the remaining Tv. The parameters of the volume renderer are then adjusted to produce an image showing the bone surface. Finally, two of the volume renderer options files distributed with the software are loaded. The first gives a pseudo-colour output, in which a grey scale rendering is given a coloured background (the foreground colour can also be adjusted in this mode to tint the grey scale rendering). The second gives a full colour rendering with multiple coloured, directional light sources.
