Increment
The increment is the distance between the recon-
structed images in the Z direction. When the increment 
chosen is smaller than the slice thickness, the images 
are created with an overlap. This technique is useful to 
reduce partial volume effect, giving you better detail of 
the anatomy and high quality 2D and 3D post-process-
ing.
