Opening Teaching Cases

Use the Teaching Case Viewer to view teaching cases and associated case details at a glance. The available tools in the Teaching Case Viewer allow you to manipulate images as you would normally in InteleViewer. For example, you can zoom, adjust the window level, and apply measurement and annotation tools. You can also view additional teaching cases without disturbing your pre-existing work by opening them in a new window.

To view a teaching case:

  1. Search for the teaching case you want to view. See Searching for Teaching Cases and Collections.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Right-click the required case and choose View Selected Case.
    • Double-click the required case.

    The teaching case opens in the Teaching Case Viewer. The associated case details appear beside the image.

    You can have only one case open at a time in the Teaching Case Viewer.
