Hanging protocol belong to one of two classes. Modality-specific hanging protocols are available when a study with the assigned modality type is loaded into the Viewer. General hanging protocols are available regardless of the acquisition device. Both classes exist in a single list, available in the pull-down list on the Templates toolbar.
To create a hanging protocol, do the following:
Organize the images in the viewer’s image frames on one or more view pages using zero or more virtual monitors.
In the Template toolbar, enter a label for the hanging protocol.
Click
the Save button, ,
in the Template toolbar.
To create a modality-specific hanging protocol, check the box labeled Available for specific modalities and select the modalities from the list. Leave it unchecked to create a generic hanging protocol.
Click Save.
When a study is loaded into the viewer, hanging protocols created for the Modality defined by the study’s Modality attribute are combined with the general hanging protocols into a single list. If multiple studies with different modality values are loaded into a single viewer session, hanging protocols for all modalities plus the general ones are available in a single list from the toolbar.
