Save window/level settings in template

 

The viewer can record the window and level settings when you save the layout settings as a hanging protocol template.  

  1. Before saving the template, you must first define and save the window and level settings as a preset W/L value, and then apply it to the images in a frame.

  2. The next step is to save the template by opening the Window/Level toolbar, assigning a name and clicking on Save.  

When you apply the template to a study, the viewer applies the window and level setting to the frame if the list of preset W/L values contains an entry with the same name as used when you saved the template.  Since the viewer stores a separate list of preset W/L values for each modality type, it is possible you do not have the same named W/L preset for more than one modality.  As a result, the viewer usually only applies preset W/L values to studies from the same type of modality that you used to create the template.
