      How to Use the Patient Gallery for Efficient Image Management?

This page allows users to collect and view images of all types without assigning them to specific spots or body parts, enhancing image management efficiency. Key functionalities include side-by-side image comparison, lock, rotation, tagging, zoom, full-screen viewing, and an image carousel for easy browsing.
