    • For best visibility, use a 1x1 layout whenever possible.
    • Keep in mind that the mouse pointer may appear small on certain devices or layouts once the recording is added to the DICOM viewer with the study, so utilize presenter tools, magnifier, zoom, pan, and 1x1 layouts to emphasize important details.
