Aeskulap Tutorials Introduction The Aeskulap Project
Introduction
This document is currently a compilation of different tutorials and guidelines how to get things
done with Aeskulap. Over time it will hopefully evolve into a usable user guide. In it's current state
it's far from being complete (or even usable).
As Aeskulap is an open source project everyone is invited in helping to improve this document. The
more people contributing, the better the documentation will get in time. If you're interested in
improving this tutorial please email the edited version to me. Please give also a short description on
your changes. All contributors will be listed in “Contributors” section.
Thanks for your help, enjoy using Aeskulap.

The original author Alexander Pipelka does no longer work on Aeskulap, due to lack of time.
I forked the project on github, to repackage it for Fedora, to fix bugs, update the buildsystem and
probably start to enhance the project.

Aeskulap Tutorials Reordering series The Aeskulap Project
Reordering series
Default layout behaviour
Open a study of your choice. Aeskulap will automatically choose a layout which displays all series
of the study. This example study contains 6 MR series.
Setting a custom layout
On the left side of the upper toolbar you will find a “Menutoolbutton” for switching the current
layout of the study. By pressing the button the layout of the study will cycle though all available
settings.
If you press the “arrow” right of the button a popup menu with all available layouts will show up.

Aeskulap Tutorials “Single Series” mode The Aeskulap Project
“Single Series” mode
Your layout usually contains 2 or more series. If you would like to view only 1 series of the cur rent
study you need to switch to the “Single Series” mode.
Toggling the “Single Series” mode
Select a series of a currently opened study by clicking into its view with the left mouse button.
In the upper Toolbar you will find a “ToggleButton” enabling / disabling the “Single Series” mode.
Directly switching to a series
It's possible to switch directly to a series by selecting the series from a menu. Right of the “Single
Series” button you will find an “arrow”. If you press this button a menu with all available series will
pop up.
Select the desired series from the menu. The selected series will be displayed in the “Single Series”
mode.

Aeskulap Tutorials Using the mouse The Aeskulap Project
Using the mouse
It might sound strange that there's a tutorial about using the mouse but within Aeskulap the mouse
and its buttons do a lot of tasks. For all functions you will need a 3button mouse with scrollwheel.
Window Center / Width
That's a fairly simple one:
Move the mouse to any display. Press the left mouse button and move it while holding the button
down.
Movement will change Center / Width values:
• left – right: change the window center
• up – down: change the window width
The current window values will be displayed at the bottom left of the display.
Zooming
Press the middle mouse button, on a scrollwheel mouse you have to press (not rotate) the wheel,
hold the button and move the mouse up and down.
Movement will change the zoom level:
• up: zoom in
• down: zoom out
Panning
Press the right mouse button, hold the button and move the mouse. Movement will pan the image in
the corresponding direction. You need to zoom into the image first to be able to pan.
Scrolling
Use the mousewheel to navigate through all the images of a series. Alternatively you may use the
scrollbar right of the display.
