To edit patient and study demographics, click the Edit button to the left of the patient name. The Edit page appears.  Select the field containing the information you want to change and delete the existing value. Type in the new value or select it from the pull down menu which, if present, contains pre-defined values for some of the fields. After making the change, click on the Save button at the bottom of the page. To return without editing the study, select Cancel.

If the MIMS edit mode permits users to override the default, a checkbox labeled Shred appears in the bottom corner of the Edit page.  When checked, hard edits are forced, meaning the changes are made to the the DICOM objects, and the entire object is propagated throughout the system.  When clear, soft edits are used, where just the changes are propagated.

By default, the fields in your worklist appear on the page.  To see additional patient and study-level attributes, click on the More Fields button.

If the Edit button does not appear on your worklist, you are not authorized to use this feature. Contact your system administrator for assistance.

Studies retrieved from an archive are write protected and cannot be edited.  If you attempt to edit a dearchived study, you will receive a notice informing you of this.
