Cropping an image allows the user to mask out unwanted parts of an image.

To define a crop area:

When you release the mouse button, eRAD PACS hides everything except what is within the defined area. A dotted-line frame appears around the entire image.

To resize the area:

2. Move the cursor over the edge of the dotted-line frame until the cursor changes to a bi-directional arrow

3. Click and drag the mouse to position the edge of the crop area

To pan the area:

2. Left click and drag the defined crop area

To remove the crop area:

2. Single-click the mouse wheel button on the image border
