Navigating Through a Study

Though the viewport layout determines how many series are displayed on screen, you can navigate sequentially through each series or select which one you want to view. To navigate through another study, you must first select it in the Patient menu.

If you are displaying the Thumbnail view while paging through datasets, each “page” of series thumbnails is highlighted as you display them.

To view series:

  1. Open one or more studies. See About Opening Studies and Series.
  2. Select a viewport.
  3. Do one of the following:

    Use:

    To do this:

    Page Down

    View the next series/dataset in the study.

    Page Up

    View the previous series/dataset in the study.

    Left Arrow

    View the previous page of series/datasets in the study.

    Right Arrow

    View the next page of series/datasets in the study.

    Mouse Wheel

    For CR, DX, and MG studies, navigate to the next or previous series/dataset.

    For US, XA, and RF studies, navigate to the next or previous series/dataset when over a single-image viewport. Select the Always Use the Mouse Wheel to Navigate modality preference to navigate through series when over a single- or multi-image viewport.

    You can configure the mouse wheel to update all viewports with the next page of series, or navigate through series in the current viewport only, by pressing the middle mouse button, and selecting Series in All Viewports or Series in Current Viewport Only. If an active sequence protocol is associated with the modality, the Navigate Through menu also includes options for navigating through Steps and Priors. See Navigating Through Reading Steps and Comparable Priors.
