Working with one study:
A study is selected by clicking on it. When a study is selected thumbnail images from that study
are shown on the right side of the screen. Operations such as editing report, reviewing, deleting
and restarting of the selected study can be accessed on the touch screen.
A study can also be send to a DICOM server, saved to a USB device or DVD drive, or deleted. If
the study has been copied to either a server or to a USB device or DVD drive a small disk icon
appears next to it, indicating that it has been saved.
CAUTION
:
Studies stored on the system hard drive should be archived regularly. The system
is not intended for long term storage of patient information. Confirm successful
archiving before deleting a study from the hard drive.
Working with multiple studies
:
Multiple studies can be selected by clicking the small box at the left of each listed study. Multiple
studies can be stored to a DICOM server, saved to a USB device or DVD drive, or deleted. Only
one study can be reviewed at a time.

format.

format.
The study can be saved to a USB or DVD. In this case the images can be stored as either
DICOM or .bmp/.avi format.
