1. A computer-implemented method for generating a customized hanging protocol for the display of medical images, the method comprising:
receiving an indication to create a first part of the hanging protocol;
displaying a workspace having a plurality of viewports for displaying medical images;
displaying a plurality of building blocks corresponding to different types of medical images;
receiving a selection of a first building block in the plurality of building blocks, wherein the first building block corresponds to a first type of medical image;
receiving an indication of a location in the workspace for the first building block to be placed;
based on the indication of the location in the workspace for the first building block, filling one or more of the plurality of viewports with the first building block, a number of the filled one or more plurality of viewports being based on whether the first building block is a single building block or a combination of building blocks;
receiving a selection of a second building block in the plurality of building blocks, wherein the second building block corresponds to a second type of medical image;
receiving an indication of a location in the workspace for the second building block to be placed;
based on the indication of the location in the workspace for the second building block, filling another one or more of the plurality of viewports with the second building block, a number of the filled another one or more of the plurality of viewports being based on whether the second building block is a single building block or a combination of building blocks; and
storing the first part of the hanging protocol for importation of medical images of a patient according to the filled viewports in the workspace.
