Claim One:
1. A control system for governing how an image data-stack is viewed through a graphical user interface, the system comprising: a processor; a database operably connected to the processor and on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing data that is viewed by a user as a plurality of sets of discrete images; a dwell module operably connected to the processor and on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for governing the speed of the viewing of the plurality of sets of discrete images by group, subgroup, or individual image; a navigation engine operably connected to the processor and on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for parsing the plurality of sets of discrete images into independently viewable subsets of the discrete images; an indexing module operably connected to the processor and on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for an indexing of each of the independently viewable subsets of the discrete images for a point-and-click-free selection of each of the independently viewable subsets of the discrete images; a scrolling module operably connected to the processor and on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for independently scrolling, while concurrently viewing, a plurality of the independently viewable subsets of the discrete images; a navigation device operably connected to the navigation engine for independently selecting, concurrently viewing, and independently scrolling each of the plurality of independently viewable subsets of the discrete images, the navigation device including a plurality of indexing state selectors each of which is indexed through a linking mechanism to a respective, independently viewable subset of the discrete images for the independently selecting with a single push of the respective, indexing state selector; and, a plurality of scrolling state selectors for independently scrolling through the respective, independently viewable subset of the discrete images as a data series of the discrete images; wherein, the navigation device is configured for concurrently viewing, while independently scrolling, the plurality of independently viewable subsets of the discrete images; each of the plurality of independently viewable subsets of the discrete images being operably linked to a respective scrolling state selector through a respective indexing state selector for independently scrolling, while concurrently viewing, the plurality of independently viewable subsets of the discrete images; and; a graphical user interface operably connected to the processor.
