Series Picker Overview

Introduction

Series Picker can contain series thumbnails for both current and prior studies. These thumbnails are JPG representations of the DICOM images.

From the Series Picker, you can do the following:

View series content for any individual study you select from the Series Picker Studylist. See Studylist Overview for more information.
View the name of the series in the Series Picker thumbnail.
Double-click a series thumbnail to open the Series Viewer (a single-frame, pop-up Viewer).
Delete one or more series from the Series Picker in the Worklist, PowerJacket, Viewer, and Anywhere Series Picker using the Series Picker context menu and the Series Management > Delete Selected Series option.
Double-click a color series to open the color series on a color monitor in the Series Viewer (based on User Settings and whether a color monitor is included in your workstation).

Note:

The Worklist includes non-displayable images in the image count, but the Viewer does not display non-displayable images.

You can drag and drop Series Picker thumbnails to a viewport.

Hover over a thumbnail to view the following information:

Series description
Series number
Modality

Applied Series Separation by DICOM echo number or temporal position indicator for an MR series

Note:

When you click Compare, the studies you have selected in the Studylist display in order by date and time.

Series Picker Settings

If you enable the Disable Thumbnail Series Description setting for a modality, the series description does not display in the Series Picker toolbar or the Anywhere Series Picker for that modality. This includes virtual series, bookmarks, and All Images. See Configuring Series Settings.
If you enable the Series Picker split scroll bar setting, the Series Picker and the Anywhere Series Picker are divided into two sections, one for the current study, and one for all selected priors.
- The Anywhere Series Picker is divided vertically.
- The Series Picker is divided horizontally or vertically depending on its orientation in the window.
- If you do not select any priors, only one scroll bar displays.

Series Picker Scrolling Options

You have multiple options for scrolling the series thumbnail position within the Series Picker:

Mouse wheel
Scroll bar handle
Scroll bar arrow

However, you cannot scroll to other images within the series thumbnails.

Resizing Series Picker

You can resize the Series Picker in the Worklist, the Viewer, and in PowerJacket. See Resizing Series Picker for more information.

Resizing the Studylist of the Series Picker

You can dynamically change the size of the Studylist in the Viewer by dragging the vertical divider line between the Studylist and the Series Picker thumbnails to expand or collapse the Studylist size.
