When the window doesn’t display all abstracts, click the next page or previous page button to move thru the abstracts in the abstract window.

The magnify button or de-magnify button enlarges or decreases the size of the abstracts, (remember it is not the full size image so enlarging the abstract will begin to display pixels with the enlarged size).

36


IMAGE LIST- FILTERS

Filters

Filters allow you to select the images you would like to view rather than every image/document captured. Filters are created as private or public and you can create your own private filters. This slide demonstrates clicking the Image Filter button from the Image List window which opens the Image Filter Add/Edit window. Public filters have a pound (#) sign and private filters do not. Creating private filters is discussed on the next slides.

37


IMAGE LIST- PRIVATE FILTERS

The easiest way to create a private filter is by accepting the defaults for Date Range, Image Origin, and Clinical. Then select a choice from the drop down menus for Specialty, and/or Procedure/Event, and/or Type. (See next slide.)

38



Determine how the image or document was captured. Click on the “Clinical All” filter tab to view all data on the Image List View window. Look at the Image List window and view the column headings for Procedure, Type, and Specialty. Decide if you want to select from one or more of those fields. It is easier to select fewer choices as it limits what will display when the filter is created. (See next slide.)

39


IMAGE LIST – PRIVATE FILTERS

In this example, “IMAGE” is selected from the Type field. Notice that various images are represented because the type “Image” is broad and can include multiple Specialties. In this case it would be better to create the filter based on Specialty.

40



In this example the filter was created based on the Specialty Dermatology so only the Dermatology images appear. The filtering is specific to the particular specialty so only what is captured to the specialty appears in the Abstract and Image List window.

41


PRIVATE FILTER CREATION

Creation of the a Private Filter starts with Date Range selection. The default is All Dates. To select a different Date Range or create a Date Range, click on the drop down arrow on the Date Range window, select a choice or click on Select Range and create your own Date Range.

42


PRIVATE FILTER CREATIONAccept the default for Image Origin, click the appropriate box for the Origin.

Select the Specialty.

Click on Save As and type in a name for the filter. Click Save.

Click OK on the Add/Edit window.

43


PRIVATE FILTER CREATION

The Main Display window displays the current filter, the Abstract window displays the abstract or abstracts associated with the filter, and there is a tab for the filter on the Image List window. To make the filter the default filter when VI opens, click on the Options menu in the Main Display window and either click on Save Settings Now, or check to Save Settings on Exit.

44


FULL RESOLUTION VIEW

45


FULL RESOLUTION VIEWThis slide demonstrates opening a capture that was saved as a single capture rather than a study. Note the clear title bar in the Abstract window. Opening a capture that was saved as single opens directly into the full resolution viewer and does not open in a group window.

46



This screen demonstrates opening a group capture. Note the black title bar. Click on the Abstract or the Image List information and the Group abstract opens. Click on an abstract and it opens in the Full Resolution viewer window.

47



This slide displays the menu selections for Full Resolution View. Tool bar buttons can also be used to manipulate the image as well as the menu choices. To determine what a button does, hover the mouse over the associated button.

48


FULL RESOLUTION VIEWWhen the Full Resolution View opens the default layout is 1x1. The next slide demonstrates how to change the layout. Multiple images or documents can be viewed in the window at the same time. To place multiple images or documents on the window click on the abstract or group abstract until the desired number is noted on the window.

49



The Layout Menu has various configurations to arrange documents and images in the Full Resolution View window. When you select a layout that you want to be the default layout for future viewing, select the Layout and then in the Main Display window click on the Options menu and click on Save Settings now, or check Save Settings on Exit.

53



On this screen, the Layout was changed to 1x3. The Apply to All button was selected to make changes to all images, and the images were adjusted to Fit to Image Height.

54



To remove an image from view: click on the image that you want to remove from view and then click on the Close Selected Images button.

55
