Use the Nuclear Medicine Palette tool to highlight certain features of a grayscale NM study by applying different color palettes to it. The tool is most effective when studies are displayed on a color monitor. You can use the Project on Extended Monitor tool to view individual studies on a color monitor as needed.
 | Tip: While designed for NM studies, you can colorize any type of study with this tool. |
