OsiriX and Horos Course · Segmentation

In OsiriX 7.0 (64-bit), the bone removal tool (the “skull” tool) is still available and can be adjusted and customized in the toolbar: Adjusting bone removal Option + click on the skull tool opens its settings. You can raise/lower the threshold (density) for removal: “higher” values → tend to pick up only the denser structures “lower” values → remove more (higher risk of “eating” contrast-enhanced vessels) Using the tool After adjusting, click the skull tool and apply it to the image to remove bone according to the chosen threshold. Adding or removing the skull tool from the toolbar Right-click an empty area of the toolbar → Customize Toolbar. Drag the skull tool in to include it, or drag it out to remove it. That way you keep the toolbar with only what you use day to day.
