Abstract: A computer apparatus and method for displaying radiological data such as X-rays, CT scans and other similar anatomical sequences in combination with other modalities such as plane views provides functionality which very closely resembles a standard radiological light board. Basic manipulations which occur at the light board by a radiologist or other medical personnel are closely emulated in function to allow medical personnel to stay focused directly on the anatomical images and thereby avoid the distraction and frustration of visually departing from the image in order to accomplish these basic functions. A display monitor screen includes image containers, and a button to activate an image shift feature. When the image shift feature is activated, a technologist uses the mouse cursor to select an image. Then, with a convenient drag-and-drop operation, the technologist is able to switch the image with another image in the displayed study.
