Archive

The archive system only allows a networked device such as a PACS for archiving images. Images stored on these devices are off-line, meaning that in order to display the images you must first restore them to the system disk. Only DICOM images can be archived and restored on your system.

There is a difference between archiving images and simply saving them. An archive device is a network device set up as an archive destination by your service personnel. When an image is archived, an archive flag displays in the Patient List. The archive flag does not display when an image is saved to a CD/DVD.

There are two methods of archiving. One is to manually archive images allowing you to save only those specified by you. The other is to automatically archive images. In this case, all exams are automatically archived upon completion of scanning.
