Systems and methods for remote layout control of medical image viewers

A computer-enabled system for controlling a layout of displaying medical images in a plurality of render views, comprising:

• a first display screen;
• a second display screen;
• a control user interface displayed on said first display screen and configured to control the layout of displaying the medical images in the plurality of render views in the second display screen, said control user interface including a menu listing one or more layout templates and a layout template selected by a user from the one or more layout templates, the layout template having a plurality of tiles, each tile having an indicator of a render view, wherein the render view is a perspective in which one of the medical images will be displayed, and the layout template does not display the medical images;
• a display user interface displayed on said second display screen and configured to display the same medical images in a plurality of perspectives, said display user interface being in communication with said control user interface and including a plurality of viewports arranged according to said layout template, and each viewport configured to display one of the same medical images in a perspective as indicated by a perspective indicator of a corresponding tile;
• and
• a layout control computing device comprising at least one processor electrically coupled to at least one memory device, said layout control computing device being in communication with said first display screen, said second display screen, said control user interface, and said display user interface, and said at least one processor programmed to:
• receive, from said control user interface, a command by the user of moving a first tile to a location of a second tile in the layout template;
• update said layout template by swapping a location of said first tile with the location of said second tile in response to the command;
• instruct to arrange said viewports of the display user interface according to said updated layout template;
• and
• instruct to display, by said display user interface, the same medical images in said rearranged viewports in perspectives as indicated by perspective indicators of corresponding tiles in said updated layout template.

A computer-implemented method for controlling a layout of displaying medical images in a plurality of render views, said method comprising:

• displaying, via a first display screen, a control user interface and configured to control the layout of displaying the medical images in the plurality of render views in a second display screen, wherein the control user interface includes a menu listing one or more layout templates and a layout template selected by a user from the one or more layout templates, and the layout template includes a plurality of tiles, each tile having an indicator of a render view, wherein the render view is a perspective in which one of the medical images will be displayed, and the layout template does not display the medical images;
• displaying, via a second display screen, a display user interface configured to display the same medical images in a plurality of perspectives, wherein the display user interface includes a plurality of viewports arranged according to the layout template, and each viewport is configured to display one of the same medical images in a perspective as indicated by a perspective indicator of a corresponding tile;
• receiving, from the control user interface, a command by the user of moving a first tile to a location of a second tile in the layout template;
• updating the layout template by swapping a location of the first tile with the location of the second tile in response to the command;
• arranging the viewports of the display user interface according to the updated layout template;
• and
• displaying, via the display user interface, the same medical images in the rearranged viewports in perspectives as indicated by perspective indicators of corresponding tiles in the updated layout template.
