Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for controlling display of different types of medical images and providing touchscreen interfaces for display on a mobile communication device and associated with different image types, e.g., different imaging modalities or different view modes. Detection of a multi-finger tap on the screen of the mobile communication device while viewing a first touchscreen interface for an image type invokes a second or auxiliary touchscreen interface for that image type having a subset of interface elements of the first touchscreen interface.

A computer-implemented method for controlling display of medical images, the method comprising:
- displaying or invoking for display on a screen of a mobile communication device of a user, a first touchscreen interface for controlling display of a selected medical image, the first touchscreen interface comprising a plurality of visible interface elements;
- detecting the user tapping the screen with a plurality of fingers simultaneously;
- displaying or invoking for display on the screen a second touchscreen interface for controlling display of the selected medical image, the second touchscreen interface consisting of a subset of the plurality of visible interface elements of the first touchscreen interface,
- wherein each visible interface element of the subset the plurality has a same appearance in the respective first and second touchscreen interfaces.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereupon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a process for controlling display of medical images, the process comprising:
- displaying or invoking for display on a screen of a mobile communication device, a first touchscreen interface for controlling display of a selected medical image, the first touchscreen interface comprising a plurality of visible interface elements,
- detecting tapping of the screen with a plurality of fingers simultaneously, and
- displaying or invoking for display, on the screen, a second touchscreen interface for controlling display of the selected medical image, the second touchscreen interface consisting of a subset of the plurality of the visible interface elements of the first touchscreen interface,
- wherein each visible interface element of the subset the plurality has a same appearance in the respective first and second touchscreen interfaces.
