Ensure to click more centrally on the reference lines (inside the arrows on the orange line of the shown image) as clicking on the reference lines toward the outer edge of the image segment will rotate the images. Windowing For PET/SPECT images press the mouse wheel down on an image segment containing PET/SPECT data. Drag up and down to adjust the threshold. The background can be adjusted by hovering the mouse over the windowing watermark at the centre bottom of the image and using the sliding scale bar.

Click on the Configuration icon in the MM Oncology Reading bar, then select Initial Layouts. Click on the + and set rules based on the number of timepoints and/or the study description. The asterisk symbol represents a ‘wildcard’ and can be used to soften or omit the condition. The asterisk position determines whether the referenced word/phrase must be at the beginning or end of the description. Place asterisks either end of the word/prase to indicate that this word/phrase can fall anywhere within the description, e.g. Lung VQ* indicates that the study description must begin with ‘Lung VQ.’ *VQ Scan indicates that the study description must end with ‘VQ scan.’ *VQ* indicates that the study description must contain ‘VQ’ somewhere within it.
