Screen Save

Before you begin

The Screen Save feature saves any image, including manipulated images, to a new series in the same examination. If additional images are saved they are added to SSAVE series and the number of images increases by one.

Consider this information when you use Screen Save.

  • The W/L and zoom values are still adjustable on a screen saved image.
  • Any annotation that is on the image cannot be removed once the screen has been saved; it is a “snapshot” of the screen and cannot be altered.
  • Screen Saved images have post-processing restrictions (for example, they cannot be filtered).
  • The Screen Saved images are saved in an SSAVE Screen Save series and they can be archived and networked.
