Orientation of the Image Viewer in OmegaAI
Overview
The Image Viewer in OmegaAI is a comprehensive diagnostic workspace designed to help users review, analyze, compare, and manage medical imaging studies.
This article provides an overview of the main components of the Image Viewer interface, including navigation panels, toolbars, viewports, and image interaction tools. Understanding these components will help you work more efficiently and customize your viewing experience to suit your workflow.
Main Components
1. Study Explorer (Left Panel)
The Study Explorer is located on the left side of the Image Viewer and is collapsed by default. Click the Study Explorer icon (File icon) in the top-left corner to expand the panel.
The Study Explorer acts as a Study Quality Control (QC) module, allowing you to review and manage patient studies efficiently.
It contains the following sections:

2. Search Bar
The Search Bar is located at the top of the Image Viewer and allows global search across the database. It automatically hides in Full-Screen Mode to maximize viewing space.
To learn more, see Using Global Search.
3. Toolbar
The Main Toolbar is located directly below the Search Bar and provides quick access to essential tools. The toolbar is fully customizable — you can add, remove, or rearrange tools to match your workflow.
To learn more, see Image Viewer Toolbar.
Hanging Protocol Strip
Directly below the main toolbar, the Quick Access Strip displays all available hanging protocols for the active study as a horizontal row of tiles. Click any tile to apply it instantly. The strip is automatically filtered to show only protocols relevant to the active study's modality.
To learn more, see Hanging Protocols.
4. Measurement Panel (Right Panel)
The Measurement Panel is located on the right side of the Image Viewer. It allows you to manage and review all measurements and annotations related to the current study or series, and organize image findings efficiently.
To learn more, see Measurement Panel.
5. Viewports (Main Display Area)
The Viewport Area is the central workspace where images are displayed. It supports multiple viewport layouts and shows overlay annotations, positional indicators, and image markers.
To learn more about the Layout Selector, see Layout Selector.
Embedded Document Viewer (EDV)
The Embedded Document Viewer provides a unified workspace where radiologists and physicians can view DICOM images, navigate prior studies, and document findings — all within a single interface. It supports advanced diagnostic workflows and complex reporting needs while ensuring accuracy, traceability, and ease of use.
