UV - Exclusionary rule configuration of Size Synchronization

No description provided
Description

When activate size sync, image on all viewports are coordinated scaling so that the same physical measurement in the images appears to be the same size on screen.

And the size is based on image on the first viewport.


In CT study scanned of body, usually the first series(and second series) is scout image.

And FOV of scout image is wider than axial image.


By default, UV sets the first series to the first viewport, 2nd series to 2nd viewport and so on.

Therefore when the user opens CT study scanned of body, scout image will be displayed on the first viewport.

If the user activate size sync, axial images are became smaller.


This behavior is not good for the user because he/she wants to see mainly axial images.

Therefor UV is necessary to have an ability to exclude scout image in the target of Size Synchronization.

Image Type (0008,0008) in DICOM header of the image contains 'LOCALIZER', the image will be scout image.

It will be better to configurable in Admin Menu.

Specification of the function as the customer expected:

It should configure in Admin Menu to enable the function.

The configuration menu has a checkbox for enable/disable the function and text box for keywords.

The keywords text is able to set multiple keywords split '\' backslash like DICOM.

e.g.) 'LOCALIZER\LOCALIZED' -> keywords are 'LOCALIZER' and 'LOCALIZED'.

If Image Type (0008,0008) of an image is 'ORIGINAL\PRIMARY\LOCALIZER', 3rd element meets a keyword 'LOCALIZER' so it is distinguished as scout image.
