Close Study

Close the study and remove it from the Series Tray and the Relevant Priors and Switch Studies lists, if they are enabled.

You can close studies when they are not relevant or when you want to view some different studies for the patient but you have reached the maximum number of loaded studies (i.e. studies in the Series Tray). You will not be prompted to save changes when you close a study, however, your changes (for example, annotations, Window Level adjustments, Key Images etc.) will be available if you reopen the study from the Study List.

The Close Study tool may need to be added to your toolbar or context menu. For more information, see Customize the toolbar or Customize the context menu or contact your system administrator.

To close a study:

Select the study in the viewer and click on the toolbar.
Right-click the study in the viewing area or the study folder in the Series Tray and click Close Study. See the Series tray overview for an example of a study folder.

Notes on Close Study behaviors

Closed studies will not be available for the Navigate Study List, Navigate Relevant Priors, or Switch Studies tools (if those tools are enabled). To make a study available for those tools again, reload it.
When you close a study, you will no longer receive change notifications for it.
The Close Study tool cannot be used while you are in Collaboration mode (if enabled).
If you close a study in view while in a Study Compare mode, the viewport that contained the closed study will be left empty. (Note that this is not the case when you are in an Advanced Visualization mode.)
If you close all studies that are in view, eUnity will display the left-most studies from the Series Tray in the viewing area.
There must be more than one study loaded in the viewer for "Close Study" to be enabled. That is, you cannot close the only loaded study.

Notes on Close Study behaviors when studies are passed into the viewer from a worklist and have a status

You cannot close the study that has a "NEW" or "CURRENT" status.
If you close all studies that are in view, eUnity will automatically put the NEW or CURRENT study into the viewing area.
