Configuring the display settings

This section describes how to configure the viewer's display settings, such as the level of metadata displayed and the quality of the images.

Configuring the level of metadata

The default display setting will automatically set the metadata display level based on the size of the image view.

You can change this default behavior so that the level of metadata remains constant, regardless of the view size. There are four possible configurations to choose from.

	Auto Metadata Display
	Full Metadata Display
	Limited Metadata Display
	No Metadata Display

To configure the metadata display

Select Display Settings from the settings menu.
Select the desired level of metadata display:

Changing the level of metadata display has no effect when viewing waveform data, such as ECG test results.

Toggling full screen mode

Depending on the screen size of your device, you may have the option to switch to full screen mode. Full Screen mode maximizes the amount of screen area dedicated to the image.

To enable full screen

Select Toggle Full Screen from the settings menu

To disable full screen

Do one of the following:

Select Toggle Full Screen from the settings menu.
Press the Esc key.

Toggling the display of GSPS/CSPS data

Some data sets may contain measurements and annotations saved from another viewing system, such as as GSPS (Greyscale Softcopy Presentation State) or CSPS (Color Softcopy Presentation State) information. When this is the case, an icon () is displayed on the right side of the series in the search results and in the worklist.

To toggle GSPS display

Click the GSPS Data tool .

Adjusting the image quality

Depending on the quality of your network connection, you can adjust the image quality to fine tune performance.

The interactive quality slider adjusts the image quality during interaction with the volume and reduces the amount of network bandwidth used. The final quality slider adjusts the quality of the image after interaction.

User-selected quality settings may result in information loss from the original imagery. Diagnostic interpretation should not be formed from the interactive images but only from the static, final-quality resulting image.

To adjust image quality

Select Display Settings from the settings menu.
Adjust the quality sliders.

Using multi-monitors

The software supports the configuration and use of multi-monitors with a workstation by opening a new window which can be viewed on a separate monitor. This allows users to fully utilize the workspace of a multi-monitor workstation for viewing medical images and reports.

This feature has a few restrictions:

Synapse Mobility supports a maximum of two windows.
You can only view one 3D view or one MIP/MPR at a time.
The behavior varies slightly depending on the browser used: Firefox and Internet Explorer 11 will launch, position and resize the second window. Chrome and Safari will launch the second window, but you will need to position this window as desired.

Collaboration while using multi-monitor can be initiated from either monitor and will share the contents of that monitor with session participants.

To open a second window

Select the New Window tool .
Drag and resize the second window as desired.

Alternatively,

While in the viewer, select Display Settings from the settings menu.
Select the New Window tool .
Drag and resize the second window as desired.

To save the multi-monitor configuration

While in the viewer, select Display Settings from the settings menu.
Select the Save Displays tool.
