Copy a study to CD/DVD


 

To write a selection of studies and an optional viewer to a DICOM CD or DVD, create the ISO file, download it to your workstation, and load it into your CD/DVD writer software. If the server has a CD/DVD writing device installed, you can write the ISO file directly to it. 

 

To export a study to CD/DVD, follow these steps:

  1. If copying a single study, find it on the worklist and click the Forward button, , in the row.  Proceed with step 3.

  2. If copying multiple studies, select one or more studies by checking the box to the left of each study row and click the batch Forward/Export button, .

  3. At the bottom of the targets list, check the box next to create DICOM CD.

  4. Select the size of the media from the pull-down list.  This will be used to size the ISO file correctly.

  5. Click the Forward button to display the confirmation page.

  6. If you want a viewer installed on the CD/DVD, check the box labeled Add Viewer.

  7. Reports are automatically included on the CD/DVD.  Check the Omit Structured Reports box to omit them.

  8. Uncompressed data requires more disk space, but some viewers and devices do not support DICOM compressed objects.  Check the Uncompress box to save all data uncompressed.

  9. Click Continue. The server builds the ISO file is built.  This may take some time.  The progress is displayed in the progress bar at the bottom of the screen.

  10. You will be prompted to download the ISO file when it is ready.  After downloading it, you must use CD/DVD writer software to write the ISO file to the device installed on your PC.  Depending on your workstation configuration, click Open on the popup when the download finishes, and your CD/DVD application should automatically start and load this file.  The CD/DVD application is not included with eRAD PACS.

  11. Click on Back To List to purge the ISO file and enable another user to create a CD/DVD.
