ARCHIVED STUDIES
The studies that have been archived by eRAD PACS are accessible from the archive studies page. The page consists of a table of studies. You can search the list using the same Filter features available on the work list. You can also sort the list using the same Sort features available on the work list.
The left-most
column of the archive table indicates the current location of the study.
If the image is of a disk , it means the study is
resident on a disk within the eRAD PACS hierarchy, and is available for
immediate access (opening, editing, etc.)
An image
of a tape in the first column of the study indicates the
study is off-line, and needs to be retrieved before anyone can use it.
To retrieve an archived study, click on the tape icon. The image
will change to an icon indicating that retrieval is in process
. When eRAD PACS has retrieved the entire study from off-line
media, the image will change to just the disk image and the study will
be available from the work list.
eRAD PACS
does not delete studies from the archive, but you can obsolete them, which
removes them from all lists, essentially eliminating them from consideration
as priors and prohibiting the manual retrieval from the archive.
Use the delete function, , to obsolete a study. To
obsolete multiple studies at one time, check the box on the far left of
each entry and click the batch delete button at the top of the work list.
