Abstract: A multi-planar image viewing system for displaying first and second selectable indicia on a display for application to a launching series having an initial planar orientation. The system comprises a series launching module, a viewing tool generation module and a viewing tool module. The launching module stores the initial planar orientation associated with the launching series. The viewing tool module determines a first viewing format and a second viewing format for the launching series based on the initial planar orientation of the launching series. The viewing tool module also displays the first selectable indicia that corresponds to the first viewing format and the second selectable indicia that corresponds to the second viewing format on the display. The view generation module generates and displays the launching series in the initial planar orientation and the first and second selectable indicia on the display.

Abstract: An image display system and method includes a tiling module, a closure module, a retiling module, and a mirroring module. Image display system displays studies on primary and supplemental displays in response to commands received from a user workstation. Display entities are displayed on display areas of primary and supplemental displays within display entity boxes that are defined by display entity layouts. As new display entities are added, they are added to the display areas in a preferred tiling format. Display entities are automatically closed when one display entity is dragged over another. Display entity boxes are dynamically resized which resulting in redefinition of display entity layouts. Various display entities can also be displayed on an original display and mirrored onto an adjacent display using an appropriate display protocol.
