PacsCube
Instructions
Radiology images on
a CD generated by the PacsCube system can be accessed on any IBM
compatible 486 computer with a CD drive. It is recommended that any
unnecessary Windows programs be closed while viewing a scan as this
will increase the speed with which you can move from image to image.
How
To View a Scan:
-
The PacsCube system
provides the software (eFilmLite) on the CD that is needed to
access a scan. By inserting the CD into your computer’s CD
drive, you will be initiating the viewing program. The
program is automatic and will take approximately 15-30 seconds to
begin.
-
A box entitled,
“eFilmLite” will appear on your screen listing the scans on
the CD. Depending on the patients and studies requested,
more than one scan may be listed in your CD. Using your
mouse, highlight the scan that you wish to access and click once
on “View”. This will open the scan.
-
Initially, the images
are defaulted to appear two per screen. Read below to change
your screen layout. The image that you are currently viewing
will be entirely encased by a green light. Each image is
part of a series. The scroll bar on the right side of the
image will move the images at two per second through the series.
Each image and series is numbered, and the number appears on the
upper left side of each image. Using the toolbar that
appears at the top of your images will enable you to manipulate
the images and view the series as a movie. Commands are
listed below.
