An image-stack viewer may switch between images in an image stack based on detected interactions with the images that are displayed in the viewer. In particular, a region-of-interest (ROI) in an image may be determined based on an interaction, and image characteristics of the ROI may be evaluated in two or more images in the image stack where the ROI best represents the evaluated characteristics.
