Setting Modality Preferences

Use the modality preferences to customize the image layout, default window level settings, image overlay, and display properties that are applied when you open images. You can set the window level preference and define window level presets, either globally or for individual modalities.

If your IntelePACS is configured to use advanced layout management, you can also create complex layout protocols which are used to control the display of images and prior studies. .

For each modality, you can either apply the default preference settings or apply customized settings which are defined per modality. Therefore, to define preferences, you must first choose a modality or choose to set default preferences that can apply to all modalities.

To set a modality preference:

From the main menu, choose Utilities | User Preferences (Ctrl+U).
Do one of the following:
- To set the default preferences, click Default Settings in the menu.
- To set the preferences for a specific modality, click the modality name in the menu.
