More Options Toolbar Menu in OmegaAI Image Viewer

Overview

The "More Options" menu (3 dots menu) in the OmegaAI Image Viewer toolbar offers a variety of functionalities that enhance user interaction with medical images.

This menu provides tools for downloading studies, managing view settings, linking series, and more, all aimed at optimizing the viewing and handling of medical imaging data.

To open the menu:

Open a study in the Image Viewer.

Locate the ⋮ (three-dot) icon in the top toolbar.
Click the icon to expand the More Options dropdown.

Select the desired tool or settings from the list.

Burn Study

This feature allows users to burn the current study onto a CD or DVD. Initiates the download of a small executable file to enable image and document burning and displays the Size of the Study that will be burnt on the disc, helping users confirm that 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.

Toggles

The Toggles submenu provides quick on/off controls for commonly used display elements within the Image Viewer. These options will help users customize the viewing environment without the need to navigate to the full settings panel.

You can click any toggle to enable or disable it.

A blue checkmark (✓) indicates that the option is active.

Available Toggle Options

1. Overlay

Function: Shows or hides the informational overlay displayed on the images.
Includes: Patient details, study metadata, image orientation, slice number, zoom level, and other contextual information.
Use Case:
- Enable overlays for detailed review and orientation guidance.
- Disable overlays for presentation, screenshots, or an unobstructed viewing experience.

2. Scout Lines

Function: The Scout Line feature visually links the scout (localizer) image with the 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 in the image viewer.
Use Case:
- Quickly understand slice location within patient anatomy
- Correlate axial/sagittal/coronal images with the scout
- Navigate large image stacks more confidently
- Improve anatomical orientation during review

The scout line updates dynamically as you scroll through images, providing real-time spatial feedback.

Function: Displays or hides an on-screen calibration ruler, which represents real-world measurement units (e.g., centimeters or millimeters). The ruler provides a visual reference scale adjacent to the image, allowing users to interpret anatomical size and proportion accurately.
Use Cases:
Useful for quick visual estimation of anatomical size, depth, or spatial relationships.
Recommended for measurement-related workflows, such as lesion assessment, planning, or quality control.
May be disabled when generating clean screenshots, exporting images, or preparing teaching materials where the scale is not needed.

Link Series

Purpose The Link tool allows users to synchronize multiple images or series across viewports. When linking is enabled, interactions such as scrolling, zooming, and positioning are mirrored across the linked viewports.

Useful for Comparing images from different time points, modalities, or anatomical regions---enables efficient side-by-side analysis.

Link Menu Modes

Unlink -- Disables synchronization between viewports.
Manual Link -- Allows users to manually link selected viewports for synchronized viewing.
Plane Link -- Links viewports based on anatomical planes (e.g., axial, sagittal, coronal) for coordinated multi-plane navigation.

Download

The Download tool enables users to export imaging content directly from the Image Viewer for sharing, reporting, or offline reference and audit purposes. Users can either download the complete study in DICOM format, including all series and images, or download a single displayed image along with its annotations from the active viewport.

Mouse Presets

Mouse Presets define how mouse buttons and the scroll wheel behave in the Image Viewer. These presets are modeled after commonly used radiology PACS vendors, allowing users to work with familiar mouse controls for tasks such as window/level adjustment, panning, zooming, measurements, and scrolling through image stacks or series.

Each preset maps specific viewer actions to:

Left Click
Right Click
Middle Click
Left + Right Click (Hold & Drag)
Scroll Wheel

This approach ensures a smoother transition for users to move between different PACS systems and helps maintain efficiency in daily radiology workflows.

How to Access Mouse Presets

Open a study in the Image Viewer.
Click the More Options (⋮) menu located in the viewer toolbar.
Select Mouse Presets from the dropdown menu.
Choose the preset that matches your preferred vendor workflow (e.g., RamSoft/Fuji, GE/eRAD, Visage, Sectra).
The selected preset is applied immediately and remains active until changed.

Mouse Preset Options:

Viewer (Vendor)	Left Click (Default Tool)	Right Click	Middle Click	L+R Hold and 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, navigation based on modality settings
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

Settings

The Settings menu provides access to configuration and customization options for the Image Viewer. It allows users to control viewing behavior, personalize tools and overlays, manage calibration and DICOM metadata display, and adjust workflow preferences such as bookmarks, viewport behavior, and tool resets to support efficient and consistent image review.

Purpose: Allows users to customize existing hanging protocols or create new ones.
Functionality: Users can adjust the layout, sequence, and display preferences based on study details. Customizing hanging protocols enables more efficient review processes tailored to specific modalities or types of studies.

2. Customizing Overlay

Purpose: Enables customization of overlay information on the image viewports.
Functionality: Users can choose which patient data, study information, and annotations appear directly on the images. This tool supports selecting data fields such as patient name, study date, and acquisition time, helping radiologists focus on relevant data without excess screen clutter.

Learn more about Customizing Overlay

Purpose: Allows modification of the toolbar layout.
Functionality: Users can add, remove, or rearrange tools to match their workflow, supporting a more streamlined experience. This includes moving tools like zoom, measure, annotate, and adjusting presets to the desired positions.

10. Save Bookmarks Feature

Purpose

The Save Bookmarks feature allows users to control whether the Image Viewer should automatically retain or discard layout and tool changes made during a viewing session. This provides users with the flexibility to maintain their personalized viewing setup or revert to the default layout after closing a study. It helps streamline workflows by avoiding repetitive reconfiguration between studies.

Each user can view and manage only their own saved viewer state.

Functionality

• When "Save Bookmarks" is enabled, all changes made to the viewer layout and tools are automatically saved and persist in future sessions.

• When disabled, any changes made during the session are temporary and revert once the session ends, restoring the default bookmark state.

Viewer Configurations Saved with Bookmarks

The following viewer settings are preserved when bookmarks are saved:

• Viewport layout and location

• Viewing protocol

• Scout line display

• Study Explorer orientation and height

• Maximize/Restore viewport state

Recommended Usage

• Enable Save Bookmarks if you frequently customize your viewer layout and want to maintain those settings across sessions.

• Disable Save Bookmarks if you prefer starting with a default layout each time or are demonstrating temporary configurations.
