Saving an Image Preset

Introduction

You can save a custom image preset. For example, if the Lung preset does not have the window level you want, you can adjust the window level and save a Lung preset with your custom name. You can also edit preset settings (for example, name, shortcut, WC, WW), as well as the order of usage if multiple presets are assigned to the same hotkey. You can also delete your custom image preset.

Note:

Synapse associates your custom image presets with your login name. If you log in with a different name, the custom level presets associated with your login name are not available to you. If you create a custom preset on a remote server, this custom preset is not available on your home datasource. Image presets apply only to the modality for which they were created.

Steps

1. Right-click the image to display a context menu.
2. Select Image Presets > Save Image Preset.
   The Create New Image Preset dialog displays.
3. Select a unique name that is two to 32 printable characters in length.
4. Optional: Assign a keyboard shortcut (press 0-8 on the NumPad or CTRL + 0-9 on the NumPad).
   If multiple presets are assigned to the same hotkey, the order in which they are configured displays to the right of the dialog.

The newest preset defaults to the bottom of the list ). You can reconfigure the order of listed presets by dragging the preset up or down in the list.

Note:

The order of presets is relevant when using an assigned hotkey to apply a preset to an image. If multiple presets are assigned to the same hotkey, the presets will cycle through the order as configured in this list when pressing the associated hotkey to apply the preset to the image.

5. Optional: Adjust window level settings for the image. Press the + or - to increase or decrease the values.
   • WC (Window Center)
   • WW (Window Width)
6. Optional: Click Undo to cancel the previous change.
7. Optional: Click Revert to return to the window level settings for the image when display was acquired.
8. Click Save.
9. Optional: Click Edit next to your custom image preset to rename your custom image preset.
10. Optional: Click Delete next to your custom image preset to remove your custom image preset.

Results

Synapse saves your custom image preset in the Image Preset context menu in alphabetical order above the system presets. Your custom preset is modality specific. For example, if you create a custom preset for CT, only CT studies display your custom preset in the context menu.
