Sort images in a series

 

Images are displayed in the order acquired at the modality. Unfortunately, many technicians scan in both directions when the procedure calls for multiple series. In these cases, the first and last images in the series are opposite each other and linking the series becomes irrelevant. Practice Builder 1-2-3 can sort images based on slice position (relative to the patient), so the image order in each series progresses in the same direction. Sort settings can be enabled based on modality type. 

 

To adjust, click on Settings/Customize Settings/Layout. Check the sort series box in the automatic settings section of the panel.  If you want to enable the sort for all modalities, select default from the settings for drop down box. To override the default setting, choose the desired modality, and enable or disable the sort setting in the checkbox. The setting takes effect the next time you launch a study.
