16.9.3 Import CLUTs

The CLUTs import option provides an opportunity to use customized CLUTs (e.g. CLUTs created by other users or CLUTs from previous DICOM Viewer versions).

CLUTs are saved in vt_config.xml file.

To import CLUTs, copy the vt_config.xml file to the Configs folder. The location of the Configs folder depends on the operating system (see Section Service files).

For example, a user named Smith working on Windows will find the CLUTs for Inobitec DICOM Viewer Pro 2.7.0 in the following folder: C:\Users\Smith\AppData\Local \Inobitec \Inobitec DICOM Viewer Professional Edition 2.7.0\Configs
