Retrieve studies to the local database

Use Patient Search to find patient studies on a remote DICOM server and retrieve the studies to the local database. You can also choose to load a study (open it in OptosAdvance) immediately after retrieving it.

Note
Your user privileges determine whether you can retrieve studies to the local database. Your DICOM settings for Query/Retrieve Service Class Providers also determine whether you are able to retrieve studies (see Manage DICOM services). If retrieve mode is not enabled, you can load studies from a remote server but the studies are not saved in the local database.

Note
You can monitor patient study transfers using the DICOM Activity page (see Monitor DICOM patient study transfers).

 

  1. In the Patient Study Directory, select Patient Search.
  2. Find the study or studies you wish to retrieve (see Access studies).

You can now transfer studies to the local database. You can also choose to open studies in OptosAdvance after they are transferred.

View a study

Click (or tap) a study in the search results. You can also right-click a study, then select Load Studies.

The study is opened in OptosAdvance. Depending on the retrieve mode that has been configured for the remote DICOM server, the study may also be transferred to the local database (if it is not already in the directory).

View multiple studies

Select the checkbox beside each study. Right-click (or touch and hold) one of the studies and select Load Studies.

The studies are opened in OptosAdvance. Depending on the retrieve mode that has been configured for the remote DICOM server, the studies may also be transferred to the local database (if they are not already in the directory).

Transfer one or more studies

Select the checkbox beside each study. Right-click (or touch and hold) one of the studies and select Retrieve Studies. The studies are transferred to the local database (if they are not already in the directory).
