Paging and Scrolling with the Mouse

Introduction

If all the images of a study are not simultaneously displayed within a viewport, you can scroll or page through the images. Synapse provides several methods for scrolling through images using a mouse:

  • Mouse wheel
  • Dynamic Scroll-Rapid: Scroll rapidly through images.
  • Dynamic Scroll-Standard: Scroll dynamically through images.
  • Dynamic Scroll-Precision: Display each image during Dynamic Scroll.
  • Middle Mouse Flywheel (MMF)

Note:

If you attempt to use the Double Mouse Button (DMB) operation on a single image series, the mouse switches to Window Level if it was previously selected and the next mode is Dynamic Scroll-Rapid, Dynamic Scroll-Standard, or Dynamic Scroll-Precision.
