Clean Up Your Workspace with Study Closure

As part of improvements aimed at optimizing use of the viewer and reducing unnecessary load on the system, the study window closing feature has been incorporated. This improvement enables intelligent management of active sessions, keeping the work environment organized and efficient.
What it is
This is a feature that automatically closes study windows that are no longer in use, according to configurable system rules. Closing can be triggered upon completing the interpretation, signing the report, switching studies, or after a period of inactivity.
What it is for
Automatic window closing enables:
• Avoiding the accumulation of open studies in the viewer.
• Reducing unnecessary consumption of browser and system resources.
• Keeping the work environment clean and focused.
• Decreasing errors caused by confusion between open studies.
• Improving performance during prolonged reading sessions.
How it affects the workflow
Previously, the user had to manually close each study window, which could lead to oversights and visual overload. With this feature, the system manages closing automatically, allowing the user to move on to the next study without interruptions or additional tasks.
What changes compared to previous versions
In previous versions, closing studies depended entirely on manual action by the user. With this update:
• Window closing is automated according to defined events.
• The number of simultaneously open windows is reduced.
• Use of the viewer's memory and resources is optimized.
• Stability during long sessions is improved.
Implications for the user
The feature operates automatically and requires no configuration or intervention from the user. Its behavior is consistent and predictable, allowing the radiologist to focus exclusively on interpretation without worrying about manually managing windows.
Final considerations
Automatic closing of study windows contributes to a more orderly, secure and efficient workflow. This feature reduces operational friction, improves viewer performance and supports a smoother reading experience within the RIS-PACS system.
