Abstract
Navigating user-interfaces of medical image viewing software using pressure-sensitive displays can increase productivity of the viewer. In certain embodiments, a menu having a number of icons can be provided on a display device such that the icons are arranged around an initial area that is touched by a user's finger or stylus, for example. Due to the icons being arranged around the initial cursor position, any one of the icons from the menu can be chosen with relatively small finger movement and/or changes in pressure applied by the finger.
