Note: If Patient Images has a check mark next to it, the Image panel is already being viewed, so clicking this option hides the Image panel.
The Image panel appearsĀ at the bottom of the Chart window.
Note: If the patient images are not visible on the Image panel, it might be because of the combination of the dimensions of the Chart window and aspect ratio of the monitor's display. This is especially true if you are using a widescreen monitor, and Chart is maximized to fill the whole display. To correct this problem, click the Restore button on the Chart window's title bar if the window is maximized, and then resize the Chart window so that the difference between the width and height is not so much; try to fill as much of the monitor's display as you can without letting the patient images disappear. The size of the window will be saved automatically for the next time you open Chart.
