### Pinning and unpinning a viewport

Pinning and unpinning a viewport enables you to specify whether the viewport is used for cycling series. See About cycling series.

Note: Whether empty viewports are used for cycling series is defined in the display protocol currently applied to the study. For details on display protocols, see About display protocols.

Pinning status of viewports

The following table describes the pinning status of viewports.

If... | Then...
A viewport is pinned | The viewport is not used for cycling series. When you cycle series, the same series is displayed. See Example 2: One viewport is not used for cycling series. A common use for pinning is to pin viewports that hold posted scouts in CT/MR studies.
A viewport is unpinned | The viewport is used for cycling series. When you cycle series, a different series is displayed.

Restriction for unpinning a viewport

You cannot unpin a viewport when multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) images or all flagged images are displayed. See Creating MPR images.

Automatically pinning a viewport

A viewport is automatically pinned in one of the following situations:

| • | MPR images or all flagged images are displayed.

| • | The series is displayed by dragging the corresponding thumbnail into the viewport.

Manually pinning or unpinning a viewport

To manually pin or unpin a viewport:

| • | Click the Pin icon at the top right corner of the viewport. The Pin icon indicates whether the viewport is currently pinned.

Icon | Meaning
| The viewport is currently pinned and is not used for cycling series.
| The viewport is currently unpinned and is used for cycling series.
