IMPORT MEDIA FILES

The Media page, accessible from the Archive page, provides access to a DICOM media.  From the worklist, you can select one or more studies to import into MIMS and make available on the worklist.

MIMS treats data imported from a DICOM media the same as it does archived data retrieved from a third-party archive device.  The data is not editable, meaning you cannot  change patient demographics, add reports, or annotate images.

By default, MIMS only reads DICOM media inserted into the CD/DVD drive located on the server you are accessing.   To import data from a CD/DVD drive on your workstation, the device must be a Windows shared drive and your workstation must exist on the same IP domain as your server.  You must also posses MIMS administrator privileges.

To import data, insert the disk into the drive.  From the browser, go to the Archive page and select the Media tab.  Select the CD/DVD source from the pull down list.  Check the box labeled List Local Drives to display shared local drives in the pull down list.  The studies on the media appear in the list.  Select one or more studies from the table and click on the retrieve button to import the data.  When acquired and processed, the studies appear on the worklist.
