Alignment methods

Alignment methods

According to the orientation and the nature of your  scan, you may need to change the alignment points in MSoft. It is a manipulation necessary to take accurate measurements. 


There is two types of alignment methods 


  1. The 4 points view : it allows you to align your scan within 4 different angles and is especially used for a baby’s head scan. You will need to retake scan of the baby’s head every few months to follow its evolution. Using the 4 points view allows you to find an accurate plan based that can be used as a reference point for further scans.



  1. The skeleton function. Since a knee is not completely vertical but hinged, its position will create an angle that must be taken into consideration. To do so, you can use the alignment method called Skeleton function. This function will allow you to place a base plan on the knee, and create two vertical lines that adapt to the leg orientation. As you can see on the picture, the thigh has not the same orientation as the shin. This function is used to create accurate circumferences for each part of the leg.
