3 The operator touches the thumbnail image on the TOUCH SCREEN MONITOR. This
action displays the subsample-by-4 image,. The operator makes changes and corrections
to the subsample image and keeps the changes. The software applies all the processing
changes to the full resolution image and stores the changes in the database. The
changes are applied to the image that is sent to any network nodes.
4 The system software adds the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM)
information to the image file.
5 The Medical Image Manager (MIM) software makes a copy of the 10-MB DICOM file and
sends information from that file to all network nodes. The MIM software recognizes the
features of each node and adjusts the image for correct viewing at each node.
Note
After the MIM sends the processed image, the DICOM file is deleted. The original raw image
file and all the processing parameters are stored in a database directory of the INTERNAL
PC for possible use at another time. The database has a maximum storage level, after which
a program automatically deletes the raw image, subsample-by-4, and thumbnail files.
