Viewing MR images with scout lines

An MR scout is an image from an orthogonal series where the scout lines represent the corresponding slices taken perpendicular to the current series. Only user authorized to view MR studies are able to access MR scout.

To view MR scouts

1. Select MR as the searchable modality.
2. Click Search.
3. Select the study and display the images.
4. Click scout.

The scout window opens.

5. Adjust the window level, if necessary.
6. Click Multiline scout and show all scout locations.
7. To select the image at that slice location and watch the image change, click a scout line.
8. To show only one scout line, click Multiline scout again.

The MR scout is enabled only if the study has a series (aside form the current series) that has the same frame of reference UID and is of a different orientation. When an appropriate scout image is not available, the scout button is disabled.
