Patient data
Databases and drives
0
In the Patient Browser you can access patient and examination data that is
stored in the various databases of your system or on external data media such
as CDs/DVDs.
Local Database
The local database is the area of your system where patient data and results of
current examinations are stored.
If the data volume in the local database increases, access times become longer
and examinations are slowed down. Therefore you should regularly move data
from your local database to archive media.
If patient data are saved only locally, they will no longer be available once they
have been deleted. If follow-up studies need to be performed, the patient must
be registered again.
If you have saved the data in an archive on the network, they will still be available
even after the patient has been deleted from the local database.
Scheduler
The scheduler contains the data of all preregistered patients. This database gives
you an overview of all patients who have been preregistered for examination.
Here you can search for patients you want to register for an examination.
If available, the HIS/RIS worklist is displayed in the scheduler.
The Clear Scheduler function allows you to delete certain scheduler entries in
one step.

Connected drives
One or more CD/DVD drives are connected to your system. The icons with the
drive names provide a quick way of accessing these storage media. You can
export the examination data to these locations after completing an examination.
However, this does not replace data backup to (long-term) archives such as
a PACS.
