Effect of system screen layouts

System Layout Protocols are preset screen layout options that change how studies, series, and images are displayed across the available monitors. Generally, these preset protocols are used when viewing studies of a specific anatomy over time, such as tri-phasic CT liver exams, SPECT NM exams, and MRS/CTA exams. The following tables describe the effect of applying each system layout.
