UV Feature Request: Horizontal and Vertical flip to be a setting embedded into viewports for hanging protocols

No description provided
Description


As a Radiologist, when viewing MRI Breast images, I want to view the breasts with nipples facing upwards instead of how they are scanned (breasts pointing to the bottom of the viewport). The current workflow requires the use of hot keys to flip the MRI breast images horizontally and vertically for each viewport and this is just too many clicks. Viewing MR Breast images this way is used by many Radiologists although other Radiologists do view the breasts pointing down. It would be ideal to cater to both and as such, I am requesting a setting to be placed into the viewports of hanging protocols to allow for a horizontal and vertical flip for those that want their hanging protocols of MR Breast images to have the breasts pointing towards the top of the viewport.


Feature/Requirement Details: The outcome we are trying to achieve with this setting is to prevent users from having to click too many times to flip MRI Breast images horizontally and vertically for each viewport. This is so that Radiologists can view the images with the breasts pointing towards the top of the viewport instead of down (as they appear after scanning).
This should be done to accommodate for Radiologists that report with the breasts facing up but also for Radiologists that report with the breasts facing down. As such, I believe the best way to accommodate both would be to have a checkbox setting in the HP Tool of Universal Viewer that will allow for the horizontal flipping and vertical flipping of images within a viewport. Two separate checkboxes should be provided for horizontal flip and vertical flip. By doing so we allow for more flexibility when configuring the viewports. By having these settings in the Hanging Protocol, we can provide the users the ability to create their own MR breast hanging protocols based on their own reporting viewing preferences. It will therefore be a user setting.

Would it be possible to have a flip horizontally field and flip vertically field in Image Presentation Parameters?
