Compare Images
You can view multiple images side-by-side in a single window for comparison purposes. The images may be of the same patient, or different patients.
Comparison Layout Type vs. Compare Images Feature - Use the Comparison layout type to view specific image types from multiple time points for an individual patient in a set format. You might use this layout, for example, to showcase "before" and "after" images during patient progress evaluations. Use the Compare Images feature to select up to 5 image types and / or time points to view side-by-side. These images can from an individual patient or from multiple patients. You might use this feature to evaluate individual progress, or compare and contrast the outcomes of similar cases. This article describes the Compare Images feature: See "Image Layouts Options" for details about the Comparison layout type.
