For debug purposes, you can display the criteria the hanging protocol manager is using to identify a series for a specific image frame. The value is available as an overlay field. It can be compared to the actual Series Description value to see why they match or don’t match.
To display the hanging protocol’s series description criteria, do the following:
From the View menu, select Customize Settings.
Select the DICOM Fields tab.
Select the Display Location that will display the matching criteria.
In the Info section, select HP Series Info and click Add Info. The field appears in the displayed values list on the left.
Click OK.
When the hanging protocol manager determines a series belongs in an image frame but the current study does not contain a series matching the criteria, the image frame is left blank. Some users might think this is confusing or even an error. To eliminate the confusion, users might consider displaying the series description criteria in empty image frames. When enabled, a frame without any data will display either the description of what should be there but isn't present in the study, or nothing indicating no assignment was made for that cell.
To enable the series description in an empty image frame, do the following:
From the View menu, select Customize Settings.
Select the Colors tab.
In the Color Settings list, select HP Series Info.
Set the color to anything other than the image frame background color. Since the default image frame background color is black, set the color to white.
Click OK.
