Displaying low resolution thumbnail Images

Thumbnails are small, low resolution, small icons created from original full size images. Because they contain less detail, they are loaded much more quickly than full size images but cannot be used for clinical purposes (neither should the regular images in ). Use the Thumbnail page to quickly browse through the available images in a study to determine which images you want to view at full size.

To display thumbnail images

Select one or more studies from the Display list.
Click Thumbnail Format.

The Thumbnail page contains a list of the series ID numbers, the number of selected images and total images, a description, and a key image. If multiple studies are selected, the first study in the list is shown by default.

Click the arrow to the left of the series ID number to open a panel showing the thumbnail images in that series.

Only the key thumbnail image is shown. The arrow buttons hide or show all the available thumbnail images in the series.

Select the images you want to view at full size:

To select a single thumbnail, click it.
To select multiple, inconsecutive thumbnails, press the Ctrl key and click the thumbnails.
To select multiple, consecutive thumbnails, press the Shift key and click the thumbnails.
To select all the thumbnails, click Select all.
To deselect all the thumbnails, click Unselect all.

Click one of the full size format buttons.
