The left side of the top toolbar contains buttons such as Show Available Series, Active Target Mode, and Snapshot, along with four button menus: Window Level, Zoom, Geometry, and Markup. These buttons and button menus always appear on the top toolbar.
The buttons on the right side of the top toolbar are configurable by user or role based on modality (and body part, optionally). You or the PACS Administrator can add and remove buttons from this area by using the Customize dialog, Toolbar tab.
