Displaying Images
Image Management has several tools to help you review and present diagnostic imaging. You can share side-by-side comparisons, changes over time, and more with your patient from the comfort of your computer screen or iPad.
This section covers the different ways to display images using Image Management.
Full Screen Display
Full screen display enables you to take a closer look at a particular image.
Using full screen display on the browser
Click an image thumbnail to expand it to a full screen view.
- To zoom, drag the zoom control in the lower-left corner of the page or click the magnifying glass to zoom in our out.
- To view the next/previous image, click the arrows on the left and right sides of the page or use the left and right arrows on your keyboard to cycle through images.
- To place drawings or text on an image, use the drawing tools at the bottom of the page. For more information, go to Drawing Annotations.
- To download the image to the device you're using, click the download icon in the lower-right corner of the page.
- To print the image, click the print icon in the lower-right corner of the page.
Using full screen display on the iPad
Tap an image thumbnail to expand it to a full screen view.
- To zoom in or out, double tap the screen. You can also zoom in and out by pinching open or closed.
- To view the next/previous image, left or right. You can also scroll through images using the bar on the side or view the next image by tapping the screen once.
- To play all images in the series as a slide show, tap the Select Action drop-down and select Play. To stop the slide show, tap Select Action and select Stop.
- To place drawings or text on an image, tap the Select Action drop-down and select Draw button. For more information, go to Drawing Annotations.
Side by Side View
Side by side view enables you to compare different images.
Using side-by-side view on the browser
On the Image Management overview screen, click the Compare button.
- To change the images being displayed on one side of the screen, select another from the drop-down list above the image.
- To sync the studies, click the Sync button. When studies are synced, they mirror each other whenever you scroll, zoom, or advance to the next image.
- To view an image in full screen, click the eyeball icon in the lower-left corner of the page. This ends the comparison.
Using side-by-side view on the iPad
From the Image Management home screen, select the images you want to compare, tap the Select Action drop-down, and select Compare.
- To change the images being displayed on one side of the screen, select another from the drop-down list above the image.
- To sync the exams, tap the Sync button. When exams are synced, they mirror each other whenever you scroll, zoom, or advance to the next image. Synced exams will also play side by side when you tap the play button.
Proof Sheets
Selecting the Proofsheet button on either the browser or iPad app fills the screen with all images taken for a patient by a device on a particular day. This view option is especially helpful when several photos have been taken for a patient, as you can visually scan through all of the images and select those you want to take a closer look at.
Live Playback
Scans taken with an OCT can be played frame by frame on the screen. To play the scan, select the play button.
On the iPad, you can increase the amount of time in between each slide if you want to slow the playback down. You can also use the playback feature on the iPad to view a collection of images taken by a device on a particular day like you would a slide show. This feature is available in both full screen display and side by side view. If your side by side comparison is synced, both series of images will play side by side.
