Overview
The Viewer shows all images in the study. All series within the study are listed and can be seen in the
Viewer.
The left side of the screen contains all the image selection and adjustment tools. Most of the tools are
categorized into panels that can be selected to reveal different functions.
The majority of the screen (Figure 8-1) is devoted to image display. The images on the right side of the
screen update as adjustments are made. You are able to view single or multiple images at once. When
viewing multiple images, an aqua border identifies the currently selected image.
Table 8-1 describes the functions for the Image Viewer screen.
