Browsing series

 

Click the thumbnail image in the series preview bar to load the desired series and browse its images.

 

You can easily switch between series by pressing

the  Left Arrow  or  Right Arrow  keys.

 

Alternatively, while hovering over the image panel, horizontal mouse wheel can be used for changing series.

 

If multiple series are loaded in the preview bar, it may be more convenient to use the right-click pop-up menu in the image panel to quickly select the desired series.

This menu can be disabled by selecting  Disable this menu . To re-enable the context menu, select  Enable panel context menu  from the toolbar menu.

The series displayed in the active panel is highlighted in the preview bar.

 

The first series of a study is preceded by two colored boxes with patient and study data:

 

Patient name

Patient birth date

 

Study date and time

Study description

Modality and number of series

 

Each series thumbnail image has a series description as a caption, and in its bottom right corner, the total number of images in the series is displayed.

 

The list can be scrolled either using a scrollbar or by dragging it with one finger on multi-touch devices.
