button on the toolbar. To select the
desired tab placement (in the current window, in a separate window, or in full-screen
mode), click the arrow on the button. To open the pulmonary analysis window in a new
tab in the current window, click the button. Opening the tab may take some time.
The Pulmonary Analysis tool is also available in the View section of the main menu and in the series thumbnail context menu.

The Pulmonary Analysis tab includes the basic features of the MPR reconstruction tab and the Pulmonary Analysis panel. The tab provides MPR section plane windows, the 3D view window, segmentation tools, and tools for working with multiple series.
When the tab opens, the Lungs window width and level (W/L) preset is automatically applied to the MPR section plane windows.
