      How to Use the Patient Gallery for Efficient Image Management?

      The new Patient Gallery feature is designed to provide healthcare providers with a flexible and streamlined way to manage and compare images for their patients. 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.
