Localization of targets in data-out three-targeted models and the sections cut in paired data-in models. Secondary to serial sections cut in the data-out models, the coordinate values of target positions (green and blue) are determined in reference to red grid squares and a positioning plate (A). (B). Representative sections cut in the distal part (Z = − 6 mm) of the three-targeted data-out models (N = 4) display similar locations of the targets. With the sectioning-guided planes, the sections [Data-in (expected)] are collected at the expected places (corresponding predetermined cutting-forward places) in the data-in paired three-targeted models (N = 4), which contain all the targets (C). A5 is a high magnification of the local in A4.
