Create Scrollable CT Images
I am brainstorming with a client about a project around high-resolution CT scans. Is it possible to create a scrollable series of images similar to what is found at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scrollable_high-resolution_computed_tomography_images_of_a_normal_thorax?
If so, can you point me in the right direction on how to go about doing it?

I turned the sequence of images into a video. When trying to freeze on a particular frame, it can be hit to miss, especially on a mobile device, to get the exact frame you're trying to stop on.

You might make each image a state of an object. Then as a variable changes, change the state. On a mobile device, sliders are difficult, so I would change the variable with up and down clickable arrows.

I thought about that, but some sequences have several hundred images. I would have the create and import a new state for each image. I didn't see an easy way to mass import using that method. Is that a correct assumption?

Yes, you are correct. SL doesn't have a method to mass import, and if it did, you would still need to handle each image individually. Even though there are some techniques that make it easy to duplicate lots of triggers in a hurry, you still have to modify each one individually.
To improve control on mobiles, you might experiment with slowing things down, either a slower frame rate, a controllable seekbar, or multiple copies of each image.
