I want to import studies located on a DICOM or a Remote server. How should I proceed?
To import studies, series or images from a DICOM or a
Remote server, follow the steps described below:
- Choose the DICOM source or Remote source from which you want to import
images. Please refer to the "How do I connect to a DICOM or a Remote server?" question to learn how to connect to a server.
- Query the server for studies, series or images that you want to import.
Please refer the "Can I use multiple criteria to search studies?" question to
to learn how to proceed.
- Select the studies, series, or images you want to import. Multiple studies
or series can be selected by clicking while holding the "Shift" key for
continuous selection or the "Ctrl" key for a noncontiguous selection. You can
do this selection either in the list of studies and series of the database
window or in the list of thumbnails.
- Start to import the studies, series, or images you have selected by
clicking on the "Download" button from the toolbar of the database window.
Instead of using this button, you also can keep your mouse cursor above one of
the selected row and click on the right button of the mouse. One popup menu
will appear. Choose "Import" to start importing the selected studies, series,
or images. You can do the same operation from the list of icons.
The import process will start when the following window appears:
You can stop to import images anytime by clicking the "Stop"
button.
You also can see how many images has been successfully imported so
far, how many failed, and how many images remained to be imported. If all images
will be successfully imported, this window will close automatically.
You can
hide this window any time by clicking on the "Hide" button. The import process
will continue, running in background. You can display again this window anytime
by clicking on the import icon located at the right side of the source name in
the source list.
