Attachments

If the study includes scanned documents or other forms of attachments, they appear in the Attachments section of the patient folder, in the thumbnail panel and in the report panel under a tab labeled Attachments.

In the patient folder, scanned documents are listed in the Attachments carousel. Click the attachment icon to display the document in the patient folder’s view area. Drag the attachment icon into an image frame to display the document in the main image area.

If configured to display documents in the thumbnail panel, each attachment appears as an icon in the thumbnail panel. Drag the thumbnail to display the attachment in the main image area.

On the report panel, scanned documents are listed under the Attachments tab. Click the tab to see all the attachments. Click the attachment to load it into the report panel’s attachment view area.

Note: The patient folder’s view area, the main image area and the report panel’s attachment tab’s view area launch the application appropriate for the attachment’s file type. The results are embedded into the designated area or launched in a separate window. The setting to embed PDF documents into the browser window is in Adobe Reader. From the Edit menu, select Preferences. In the Categories list, select Internet. Check the Display PDF in browser box.

If the attachment is an image (e.g., a JPEG file or DICOM object), position the mouse over the thumbnail to display the attachment at a readable resolution. For non-image file types (e.g., a PDF file), the attachment’s file name appears.

The respective attachment view areas support three display modes.

To change the display mode, position the cursor over the image view area and click the left mouse button. The modes advance from page-width to full image to full page to page-width.
