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.
7.4.4. Archiving Studies
All Clips and Static images stored on the system are stored internally in DICOM format. They
may be converted to .bmp and .avi as described below.
The system supports many methods to export an exam for long-term storage:
•
The study can be sent to a DICOM server. In this case the images are in DICOM (.dcm)
format.
•
The study can be send to an FTP server. In this case the images are in .bmp and .avi
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.
Sending a study to a DICOM server:
There are three ways to send a study to a DICOM server. See Section 9.2.2 for details on
configuring a DICOM server and choosing one of the following options
1.
From the patient database screen, you can select a study or multi-studies and send it to a
configured server.
2.
You can configure the system to automatically send the study at the end of the exam. With
this option the study is sent in the background while you continue to use the system for the
next exam.
3.
You can configure the system to automatically send each image and clip as it is stored. This
has the advantage that the images and clips are available on the server sooner. Note that if
you have it configured this way you can still delete stored images and clips on the system,
but that will not delete them on the server if they have already been sent.
Sending a study to FTP Server
Please see section 9.2.3 for details on configuring a FTP server. Once an FTP server is configured
the exam can be sent to the server from the patient database screen. Select the exam(s) from the
list shown, and select the FTP server from the list of currently configured destinations.
Saving a study to USB or DVD
If a USB flash drive is plugged in or a DVD disk is put in then studies can be archived to them.
Plug the USB flash drive into a USB port or put one DVD disk into the DVD drive prior to
invoking the patient database screen, select the exam(s) from the list shown, and select the device
from the list of currently configured destinations.
7.4.5. Structured Report
Structured Reports are supported for OB, Gynecology, Cardiac and Vascular exams on this
system. They can only be sent to a DICOM server together with images after the function of
sending structured report being enabled in DICOM setup page (see Section 9.2.2 for detail).
