[Amira 3D / Avizo 3D]
Prerequisites
Using the Label Analysis module, as suggested for versions 2025.1, requires an Amira 3D Pro or Avizo 3D Pro license.
Description
Currently, Amira-Avizo offers 3D and XY interpretations directly in the GUI. In some cases, a user may want to gather measures for the XZ and YZ directions as well. The Material Statistics module (deprecated since 2025.1) or the Label Analysis module can be used to calculate the measure in the desired direction.
Suggested Solution (Version 2024.2 and earlier) Using the Material Statistics Module
1. Load the data in the Project Workroom.
2. Click on the Crop Editor icon in the data properties.
3. Swap the axes (XY, XZ, YZ) of the input data using the Crop Editor as desired, and press OK.
4. Once the data is oriented so that the slices to analyze are in the XY plane, right-click the data and create a Material Statistics module (under the Measure and Analyze category).
5. Within the Select dropdown menu, select the Area per Slice option. Then, press Apply.
Suggested Solution (Version 2025.1 and newer) Using the Label Analysis module
1. Load the data in the Project Workroom.
2. Click on the Crop Editor icon in the data properties.
3. Swap the axes (XY, XZ, YZ) of the input data using the Crop Editor as desired.
4. Once the data is oriented so that the slices to analyze are on the XY plane, right-click the data and create a Label Analysis module (available under Measure and Analyze -> Individual Measures).
5. The Label Analysis module has 2 interpretation options by default. Set the Interpretation within the properties to XY planes so that the image is processed slice by slice.
6. Change the Measures to compute to the basic2D, which contains a predefined set of measures, including 2D area.
7. Press Apply.
