Viewing scout images

The Scout tool shows the position of images that were captured in CT and MR studies. Scout displays an image orthogonal to the images in the currently selected series. It shows lines indicating the intersections of the images in the series with the orthogonal image. The Scout tool is enabled only when a series in the study has a scout image.

  1. Display a CT or MR series that contains scout images.

  2. From the context or top toolbar, click Display Scout. Display Scout

    Or, if using the context toolbar text menu (Ctrl + right-click), select NavigationDisplay Scout.

  3. Click the image to locate on the scout.

    The next scout image displays and shows the slice location of the currently selected image.
