Enabling IntelliScroll

Introduction

You can manually enable or disable IntelliScroll for a particular study. When the session ends for that study, Synapse reverts to the IntelliScroll User Setting.

For CT, PT, and MR modalities, Synapse automatically enables IntelliScroll using the Same Orientation option. For US studies with Stress Echo images, Synapse automatically enables IntelliScroll using the Sync by R-Wave option.

Note:

By default, Synapse links images with the same orientation within 30 degrees. See your System Administrator for more information.

When Sync During Scroll is disabled, images will not Sync by R-Wave in cine.

Prerequisite

The series in the study that have the Same Orientation are automatically linked.

The series in the study that have the same Frame of Reference (FOR) are automatically linked. If the series do not have the same FOR, you can use the Same Orientation option. You can use the delta link option to change the delta for a series (this does not apply to MG series that use Sync by Prior).

Steps

  1. Right-click the image to display a context menu.
  2. Select IntelliLink/Scroll > IntelliScroll to enable IntelliScroll. Synapse highlights IntelliScroll on the context menu to indicate IntelliScroll is active.
  3. Do any of the following:

    Select IntelliLink/Scroll > IntelliScroll - Cycle link mode.

    Disable the IntelliScroll option for all displayed series.

    Select IntelliLink/Scroll > IntelliScroll - Remove All.

    Enable auto link scrolling for series with the same FOR.

    Select IntelliLink/Scroll > IntelliScroll - Same FOR.

    Enable auto link scrolling for series with the same orientation.

    Select IntelliLink/Scroll > IntelliScroll - Same Orientation.

    This is the default setting.

    Enable IntelliScroll to scroll by image index.

    Select IntelliLink/Scroll > IntelliScroll - Sync by Index.

    Enable IntelliScroll to synchronize by R-Wave.

    Select IntelliLink/Scroll > IntelliScroll - Sync by R-Wave.

    Note: Cine playback rate will auto-adjust so that each Cine loop has a duration closer to 0.75 seconds when Sync by R-Wave is enabled.

    (For Mammography studies only) Enable IntelliScroll to synchronize by prior when scrolling between series images during current and prior MG studies comparisons.

    Select IntelliLink/Scroll > IntelliScroll - Sync by Prior.

  4. Click on a series and use the mouse wheel to scroll multiple series simultaneously.

Note:

For Mammography studies, the IntelliScroll-Sync by Prior mode is the default action when the IntelliScroll > MG option is selected from the User Settings. This feature synchronizes the scrolling of images from prior studies to compare with the current study.
