• Depending on how much Multiframe will be displayed at a time, it may display at a slower speed, as well as displaying FPS differently than the set speed, due to the computer’s capabilities and speed.
• MIST Oblique functionality – If the study’s underlying series are inconsistently spaced, non-parallel, or contain gaps, measurements will not be available and the user will be informed accordingly.
• MIST MPR reconstructions (Oblique, Axial, Coronal, Sagittal) are limited to 2048 slices, or fewer depending on the amount of VRAM available on the user’s PC.
