The Image Menu, or Right Click Menu allows you to quickly access presets and annotation tools, to manipulate images, to print an image, and to save an image as a JPEG file to a local disk. Other options in the Image Menu include Presets and Annotations. To learn about Presets, look in the page concerning the Frame Layout Menu. To learn about Annotations, look in the page concerning the Mouse Menu.

The Image Menu appears when you hold the right mouse button down while the cursor is in the image window. 

Note : If you right click quickly, the cursor will change instead of the image menu appearing. To change the cursor back, either continue quick right clicking until the correct cursor appears, or select the appropriate cursor from the Mouse Menu.


Printing an Image

To print an image, right click on the image you would like printed. The Image Menu will appear, as in the above diagram. Select the 'Print Image...' option. A standard printer window will appear, allowing you to choose which printer the image will be sent to. 

If DICOM Overlay is displayed when you right click on the image to print, the overlay will print with it. The image will always stretch or shrink to fill the widest available space on the printed page.


Save Image as a JPEG

To save an image to disk, move the cursor over the desired image and hold down the right mouse button until the Image Menu appears. Select 'Save Image...' and a window will prompt you to specify where to save the JPEG file. When you have chosen the proper location for the file, click 'Save'.


Image Manipulation

The Image Manipulation Menu is a submenu of the Image Menu which allows you to rotate and flip images. Selecting an option in the Image Manipulation Menu will alter the image as described. For example, selecting 'Flip Horizontal' will flip the image across a horizontal axis.

Note : Image Manipulations do not permanently affect an image. If you flip or rotate an image, the next time that it appears, it will be oriented correctly.
