A hanging protocol contains rules for selecting the studies loaded into image frames. For example, it might load the current study into image frames on monitor 1 and the first prior into image frames on monitor 2. You can override the default prior defined by the hanging protocol, updating your layout without affecting other image frames.
To replace a study loaded into image frames with a different study listed in the thumbnail panel, do the following:
Select a hanging protocol from the hanging protocol toolbar. The viewer might do this automatically when it initiates the session.
From the thumbnail panel, left-click the study’s header and drag it into an occupied image frame.
The hanging protocol assistant replaces the study whose images occupy the target image frame with images from the selected study using the same rules defined by the current hanging protocol.
