Disk Management
The Disk management function allows the user to manage hard
disk space while maintaining the patient database on the
system. The Disk management function can be used to move,
copy or delete images and move or copy reports from the
oldest patient records (configurable). The Disk management
function has also an auto-purge feature that automatically
deletes images that have already been copied if the local hard
disk is approaching its capacity limit.
When moving or
copying files a copy
of the patient ar-
chive is also created
on the media.
Three different disk management scenarios are possible
depending on the system configuration:
• Disk management is set to move files: the user runs the
Disk management function on a regular basis to move
images and reports from older patient records to removable
media or to a network volume. Using this setting, moved
images and reports are deleted from the local hard drive
and copied to the specified destination. This scenario
prevents the local disk to fill up and keeps images and
reports from the most recent patient records on the local
disk. Using this scenario, the user can control what should
remain on the system while keeping the disk free space at
an operational level.
• Disk management is set to copy files: the user runs the
Disk management function on a regular basis to copy
images and reports from older patient records to removable
media or to a network volume. To prevent the local disk to
fill up, the auto-purge function automatically deletes files
that were previously copied when the disk free space has
reached the minimum allowed limit. This scenario lets the
system automatically manage the disk space on the
system.
Note: When using this setting, the images location
displayed in the Examination list screen is the selected
destination for the copy operation, even if the images are
still present on the local hard drive. When reviewing the
exam, the original images is retrieved from the local hard
drive as long as they are available there. When the images
are deleted from the local hard drive by the auto-purge
function, the copied images are retrieved.
