Summary

This enhancement to Provider Images provides an informative message to users while attempting to retrieve archived studies.

Feature Description

Text of the message is customizable via a new PACSImagesPreparingMessage application configuration setting.

Note that if the study has not been archived the thumbnails will load as normal when the Images tab is selected.
