XXX.2 Volumetric Presentation States vs. Static Derived Images (Current)
Prev	XXX Volumetric Presentation States (Informative)	Next

A Volumetric Presentation State creator is likely to be capable of also creating a derived static image (such as a secondary capture image) representing the same view. Depending on the use case, either a Volumetric Presentation State or a Secondary Capture image or both may be preferred.

XXX.2.1 Static Derived Images

Static derived images are intended for direct viewing, and have the following advantages:

supported by a wide variety of viewers
minimal display consistency issues - particularly when paired with a Softcopy Display Presentation State
no volumetric processing is required

and the following disadvantages

cannot be used to re-create the view from the volume data and then interactively manipulate the view
dynamic views may require the creation of a large number of individual instances
