When defining several VOIs, the user may want to control whether they can overlap, or not. To this end, the editing can be set to one of three different modes as illustrated below.
Their effect is as follows.
|
No control of VOI overlapping, contours can intersect arbitrarily. |
|
Trim new/modified VOIs along existing VOIs. The existing VOIs have priority. The new VOI is modified by removing any intersection area with the existing VOIs. |

The example below illustrates the effect when shifting the green ellipse left in the different control modes.
