The list tables work in top-to-down hierarchy as indicated by the arrow:
The Patient List--->Procedure List--->Image Thumbnail List/Viewer.
The Patient selection window is the upper left most window. The Procedure window is the uppe
r
right most window.
When a Patient field is selected, the Procedure window becomes active. The Procedure window
displays a listing of all Procedures performed under the selected Patient. Additionally, all images
corresponding to the patient are displayed in the bottom right. It is not possible to select multiple
patients.
When a Procedure is selected, the image thumbnail list/viewer is filtered to only show the
images which correspond to the selected procedure. Multiple procedures can be selected by
holding the Shift key and left-clicking each procedure. All the images for the selected procedures
will be displayed accordingly.
 The database may have its sorting adjusted by clicking on the top fields such as Patient ID
and Last Name to sort by either one. When the mouse cursor is clicked over one of the
database fields, a small arrow indicator is displayed within the field. Using the Left Mouse
button and selecting the field again changes the arrow from ascending to descending or vice
versa. The field selected will be automatically sorted accordingly.
 Scroll bars are located in the database to allow for ease of navigation.
 The thumbnail list/viewer allows for a user to click on the “+” symbol to automatically add the
image to a review pane. A user may add up to four images into the review panes. The review
panes are automatically adjusted to encompass the four images.
 The same options as available in the Current Patient Images Browser (see Figure 5.5.2) are
also located at the top of the Database. However, additional options are also made available,
described in section 5.5.2.
Important Note: The “thumbnail” images (.PNG) are separate files from the actual image data
(DCM, DAT, DMM, RAW) files. They have the same file name as the image file, but they have
a (.PNG) file extension. It is possible to have an image file and no “thumbnail”. In that event,
Vision will attempt to create a thumbnail automatically for the image to be loaded into the
database. However, if this is unsuccessful, the image will not be displayed.
Save Image(s)
The Save Image(s) button is available when an entry from the Image Table or Thumbnail List
is selected, or through the current patient images, otherwise it is disabled. The selected image
can be saved in the following popular 8-bit formats: JPEG, BMP, TIFF and RAW. It can also be
saved in 16-bit TIFF format.
The window level of the saved image is the default window level. If the user requires that the
window level be arranged, he/she should load the image to the Image View and print from there
rather than printing from database dialog.
Send Image(s) to PACS:
This function sends the image(s) to a pre-configured DICOM PACS Server. Refere to Section
5.7.0 for more information.
