Patient Directory Icons
Icon
Name
Explanation
Cypress
Hard Drive
All patient files and studies stored internally
appear beneath the Cypress system hard drive
icon.
Cypress
Format
Appears in front of studies stored in
Cypress
for-
mat.
All of the studies in the Cypress system sub-
directory have this icon.
Icon turns blue when the study is activated.
DICOM
Format
Appears in front of studies stored in
DICOM
for-
mat.
This icon only appears in front of studies listed in
the
MO
Disk
sub-directory. Studies listed in the
MO
Disk
sub-directory can have either the
Cypress
format icon or the
DICOM
format icon in
front of them, depending on which format was
used to save the study to the
MO
Disk
.
Note that studies saved to the
MO
Disk
in
DICOM
format cannot be read on the Cypress system —
you must load the study onto a DICOM-compati-
ble viewer. Once a study is stored to an
MO
Disk
in the
DICOM
format it cannot be changed back
to the
Cypress
format. However, a study stored
to an MO disk in the
Cypress
format can be
reloaded onto the system and then saved in
DICOM
format.
Multimedia
Format
Appears in the Patient/Study list when studies
are transferred to the MO disk in Multimedia for-
mat.
