Image processing is saved by default when switching between studies and upon exiting the program
This is done so that the physician who performed manipulations on the image can quickly return to the result of their work
The following are saved:
- Zoom and Image Shift
- 2D Rotations

- 3D Cursor Position
To disable/enable the image processing save function, see Study Archive Settings
