Configuring CT and PT Series Options
Introduction
For CT studies, you can set the localizer to display at the beginning or at the end of a study in both the Viewer and Series Picker. For a CT or PT series containing localizer and non-localizer images, you can split images into two separate series.
You can also separate a CT or PT series when the images are non-sequential, have gaps, have the same position, or have different orientations.

Note: |
A 3D VNA split series is not affected by these User Settings for CT and PT. |
