Use the Create Combined Series tool to combine all series in the study into a new series, which allows you to scroll through all the images in the study without series boundaries. To combine only some of the series, use the Available Series palette.
 | Note: In a combined series, hanging protocols only apply to CR, DR, and DX studies. |
To temporarily combine all series
From the Image area top toolbar, click Create Combined Series.
The new combined series appears as the first series in the study, called Recombined Series (A+B). This display change is not saved permanently.
To combine selected series
If the Available Series palette is not open, from the top toolbar, click Show Available Series.
In the palette, hold down the Shift key and click the first and last series to combine.
Or, hold down the Ctrl key and click each series to combine.
From the palette toolbar, click Create Combined Series.
The selected series become one series. The original series are no longer viewable.
 | Tip: By using the Screen Layout tab of the Customize dialog, you can display all series in combined form by default. This is particularly useful for CR, DR, and MG images, in which each series contains only one image. |
