Objective

Currently Slicer has the ability to display a fixed set of layouts (often called 'hanging protocols' on Radiology Workstations). Most commercial packages offer a richer set of default layouts that are appropriate for certain modalities and studies, and an ability to configure and save custom layouts. This project will adapt Slicer's existing software to offer default layouts familiar to radiologists, and to create and save custom layouts as well.

Approach, Plan

Review the current implementation in Slicer, design a new layout module in Slicer's Base, and its interface. Study default layouts commonly provided by commercial software and create them as selectable options.
