Getting Started with the Web Viewer

The web viewer displays images in the web browser. Basic tools are available to manipulate the images including scrolling, window/level, magnification, cross sectional references and linear measurements.

	Warning
	eRAD PACS is not cleared for diagnostic review when used on a mobile device.

Requirements

The web viewer requires some additional browser features.

These include:

HTML5
WebGL
websockets and other web protocols

	Warning
	Some browsers might have WebGL or websockets disabled by default and must be enabled before using the web viewer.

Compliant browsers include:

Mozilla Firefox v12
Google Chrome v20
Apple Safari v6 in MAC OS X 10.6
Opera Presto v2.11

Some items to consider:

Some browsers might have WebGL or websockets disabled by default and must be enabled before using the web viewer
When some Internet Explorer versions (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, 10) do not support the required technology, the web viewer will attempt to detect the missing component and display a notification
WebGL requires hardware compliance as well. The workstation’s display controller must support WebGL in order for the images to appear in the web viewer.
