A method relates to operating a system using a mixed monitor workstation, such as a medical PACS workstation, having a first display of a first resolution and a second display having a different resolution. The method may include moving a graphical element displayed on the first display to the second display, and resealing the graphical element when moved such that the graphical element has a different pixel size on the second display than it did on the first. The method may also include allocating a graphical element to the first display or the second display based on characteristics of the graphical element. Various criteria may be used to allocate the graphical element; for instance, whether color images are currently being displayed on a low resolution monitor, whether a graphical element is a high or low resolution image, and others. The method may be implemented using software associated with the workstation.

An imaging system employs method of labeling orthogonal images. The method comprises: identifying a primary image taken in a first plane; identifying a plurality of secondary images taken in planes orthogonal to the first plane; associating a label to a point in the primary image; calculating a distance from the point to a line of intersection between the primary image and each secondary image in the plurality of images; and associating the label to a secondary image in the plurality of secondary images having a line of intersection with the primary image closest to the point.

An image management system (), includes a PACS system. The PACS system () includes a PACS server () coupled to a communications network () and a plurality of PACS workstations () also coupled to a communications network (). Each PACS workstation () is configured to receive two dimensional image information and produce a three dimensional image rendering on the PACS workstation (). The three dimensional image rendering is communicated to the PACS server () for storage and later retrieval.
