Prestaging Studies Overview

eRAD PACS supports two mechanisms for prestaging studies on a workstation. Prefetching uses defined worklists to select studies to download in the background while a user is logged onto a workstation. Workstation prefetch automatically forwards studies to a specified workstation, independently of user personal settings. Workstation prefetching is similar to prefetching except it is available for registered eRAD PACS workstations only.
