Description of Image Processing
The Image Management screen (
) shows all the images stored in the selected database
source. This screen is used to manage images, copy images to exams, transfer images to network hosts,
or save images on CD/DVD.
Overview
The majority of the Image Management screen is devoted to the exam list. Images are organized by
exam. Each exam is a row. If multiple exams were acquired in the same session, each exam has its own
row on the list. The exam expands to show the series.
Within each exam are “series” of images. A series is a collection of one or more images acquired in a ses-
sion. Each protocol is a series. A new series is created when a completed exam is appended.
There are two types of image series: raw and processed. Raw images are the exact images that were
acquired. Processed images are the raw images with specific processing and image adjustments (such
as brightness and contrast) applied. It is possible to create several processed images from one raw
image.
Individual images reside within the series. Clicking a series or clicking the [+] button opens the image
details section of the Image Management screen. In the Image Details section, each row is an image.
Selecting a row makes a small preview image, or “thumbnail,” appear. The image may be opened for
viewing, adjustment, or deletion.
