Area measurements

 

To use the ROI measurement tools,

  1. Select the Region of Interest annotation button.

  2. Left-click with the mouse on the image.

  3. While holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor to expand the defined region.

  4. Release the mouse button to get the region area.

The default region of interest drawn on the image is a true circle. When resizing the ROI, maintain a true circle by using the corner grab points.

 

If the image object does not contain pixel size and spacing information, measurements are displayed in pixels. To convert pixels to real-world dimensions, you must calibrate the image.
