Navigation

Select the exam, series, or specific image to work on using the Navigation column. You can also choose to Dock the subsequent panels that open up while using the tools available in the navigation panel.

Fast Navigation

There are several tools for navigating quickly through images.

• Cine mode speed can be set to view the images in a sequential order, forwards or backwards.
• Image Render Settings can be accessed on the toolbar. Disable the Use Rendered Image toggle to use low resolution versions of the images for scrolling. The full resolution will then load when you stop scrolling. Activating this setting may lead to higher performance.
• An image can be selected directly from the Image button in the Navigation column.
• Scroll images by holding Right/Left arrows
• Navigation Keyboard Shortcuts can be used to skip ahead several images at once or go directly to the first or last image
• Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate between panels in a multipanel view
