More Options Menu in OmegaAI Image Viewer
Overview
The More Options menu (⋯) in the OmegaAI Image Viewer toolbar provides access to a range of tools and settings for downloading studies, managing view settings, linking series, configuring display preferences, and customizing the viewer environment.
Accessing the More Options Menu

|
1. Burn Study
The Burn Study feature allows you to write the current study onto a CD or DVD. When selected, it displays the size of the study to be written to the disc — helping you confirm the contents will fit on the selected media. If there are no documents or images in the study, the size will be shown as 0 MB. |
|
Burn Process
If the selected study contains valid images, the following sequence occurs automatically:
- A small executable file — RamSoft.DiscImageBurner.exe — is downloaded to your machine. This file is required to facilitate the disc image burning process.
- Once the executable launches, a command prompt window opens and the system begins preparing the burn. The window displays real-time progress including percentage complete, data transferred, and elapsed time.
- The Windows Disc Image Burner dialog opens. Select the appropriate disc burner from the dropdown, then click Burn to begin writing the study to the disc.
The Burn Study feature also enables users to burn one or more studies directly from the Worklist. Learn more about Burn Study in the Worklist.

2. Toggles
The Toggles submenu provides quick on/off controls for commonly used display elements. Click any toggle to enable or disable it. A blue checkmark (✓) indicates the option is active. |
|
2.1 Overlay
Shows or hides the informational overlay displayed on images, including patient details, study metadata, image orientation, slice number, zoom level, and other contextual information.
|
|
To learn more, see Customize Overlay Annotations.
2.2 Scout Lines
The Scout Line feature visually links the scout (localizer) image with corresponding cross-sectional images (CT, PT, or MR slices). When enabled, a horizontal or vertical reference line appears on the scout image, indicating the exact anatomical position of the currently displayed slice. The line updates dynamically as you scroll, providing real-time spatial feedback. Useful for:
|
|
2.3 Calibration Ruler
Shows or hides an on-screen calibration ruler representing real-world measurement units (cm or mm). The ruler provides a visual reference scale adjacent to the image for interpreting anatomical size and proportion.
|
|
To set a custom measurement scale, see Calibration Tool under Settings.
3. Link Series
The Link tool synchronizes multiple images or series across viewports. When linking is enabled, interactions such as scrolling, zooming, and panning are mirrored across all linked viewports — useful for comparing images from different time points, modalities, or anatomical regions. |
|
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Unlink | Disables synchronization between viewports. |
| Manual Link | Manually link selected viewports for synchronized viewing. |
| Plane Link | Links viewports based on anatomical planes (axial, sagittal, coronal) for coordinated multi-plane navigation. |
4. Download
The Download tool allows you to export imaging content directly from the Image Viewer for sharing, reporting, or offline reference. Clicking Download expands into two options: Download Image Exports only the image currently displayed in the active viewport, along with its annotations. When selected, the Download Image dialog appears with options to set the file name, image width (px), and image height (px). A preview of the selected image is shown before downloading. Download Study Downloads the entire study — including all series and images — in DICOM format. Useful for sharing the full dataset or creating offline archives. |

5. Mouse Presets
Mouse Presets define how mouse buttons and the scroll wheel behave in the Image Viewer. Presets are modeled after commonly used radiology PACS vendors, allowing you to work with familiar controls for window/level adjustment, panning, zooming, measurements, and scrolling. The selected preset is applied immediately and remains active until changed. |
|
Preset Reference
| Vendor | Left Click | Right Click | Middle Click | L+R Hold & Drag | Scroll Wheel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RamSoft, Fuji | Scroll (or selected tool) | Window/Level | Zoom | Pan | Image scroll, Series scroll |
| GE, eRAD | Pan (or selected tool) | Window/Level | — | Zoom | Image scroll, Series scroll |
| Visage | Scroll (or selected tool) | Pan | Zoom | Window/Level | Image scroll, Series scroll |
| Sectra | Pan (or selected tool) | Window/Level | Zoom | Scroll | Image scroll, Series scroll |
6. Display & Viewing Options
| Option | How to Access | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Popout in Window | More Options (⋯) → Popout in Window | Opens the current image in a separate window. |
