### Viewports

The viewport displays the images of a series. It also contains the navigation tools needed to move through the series.

The following table describes the viewport components.

Component | Description
Series Navigation bar Note: The Series Navigation bar is displayed only for series that contain multiple images. | This bar is used to move through a series. The bar consists of the following components:
| • | Number of images contained in the series
| • | Size of the viewport
| • | Screen resolution
You can display an image by clicking the corresponding chit. If the chit represents a group of images, click the chit to display the first image within the group, and then scroll through the rest of the images to view them. The chits are highlighted as you page through a series. Note: If the series contains only one image, the chit bar is replaced by the series information. For example, the chit bar is replaced by #2 (1 image).
| • | Navigation arrows The arrows enable you to move through the series, one image at a time.
| • | Show original image icon This icon enables you to view the image in a separate window.
For details on using the Series Navigation bar, see Viewing images in a series.
Image viewing area | This is the area where the image is displayed.
Patient orientation markers | Patient orientation markers are located on all four sides of the viewport. These markers indicate the orientation of the patient anatomy in the viewport. Patient orientation markers are always displayed on each image provided that valid orientation information is available in the image DICOM header. When no information is available in the DICOM header, patient orientation markers will show as blank in Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions. Warning: Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions relies on the accuracy of the DICOM header information in the image. If you suspect there may be a mismatch between the image and patient laterality/orientation, work with the technologist and other physicians at your facility to obtain accurate patient orientation information. See Patient orientation markers.
