When performing measurements on a volume value image (mip mpr 3d) clinicians are able to take snapshots of their measurements in a capture window. if they do not save the capture window and they make measurement changes in the original image it updates the measurement values in the capture window but it does not update the associated graphics in the capture window. thus the measurement value no longer corresponds to the graphic displayed in the capture window. this could lead to an incorrect interpretation of the measurements which could cause an incorrect diagnosis and incorrect treatment plan.
