PACS: read X-rays, CTs, MRIs, and ultrasounds

Freeman's image viewer is Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer. Open a study from the report, scroll the series, window and level, measure, compare. The vendor guide skips the mouse and keyboard moves you will actually use, so they are spelled out here.

When you open the viewer from the desktop, search by last name, first name, or patient ID. Searching by patient ID needs an ordering system (context) set so the viewer knows which ID you mean. Click the study you want to open it.

Inside the patient, every study sits on a timeline across the work area. Use the Filter drop-down to narrow the list. The filters offered depend on what studies the patient has.

One study card per exam, showing its key images and the report. Double-click an image for full screen. Click the arrows to move to the next or previous key image.

The full set of images for a study, the patient documentation, and side-by-side comparison with other studies. Point at a series and roll the mouse wheel to scroll through it, or click Power Scroll and drag with the left button to move fast.

Image and Report Layout shows the images beside the report or scanned documents.

Image Layout, at the top of the screen, sets how many viewports you see. Pick the arrangement you want, then drag a series from the timeline into any viewport to compare studies.
