The Save / Export drop-down menu includes a set of menu items which may be used to create CDs or DVDs containing DICOM images, as well as a dedicated DICOM viewer which will allow displaying those images on every PC.
Depending on the configuration of RemotEye, DICOM CDs or DVDs may be created either through the local CD/DVD writers of the client PC, or on the server side, through a dedicated server software.
In order to create locally a CD or DVD containing the images of the current patient or study, it is sufficient to select the Burn CD/DVD locally… à Burn current Patient or the Burn CD/DVD locally… à Burn current Study menu items.
If the user desires to create CDs or DVDs with a more complex content (e.g., several patients or studies on a single media) the concept of CD/DVD compilation must be used. The CD/DVD compilation management… menu contains menu items which allow adding and removing patients and studies from the current CD/DVD compilation, as well as displaying its current content. Once the CD/DVD compilation is complete, the Burn CD/DVD locally… à Burn content of current CD/DVD compilation menu item can be used to create a CD or DVD with the content of the current CD/DVD compilation. The Burn DICOM CD/DVD dialog box will appear. You will need to select the CD/DVD writer to use, through the Select CD/DVD writer drop-down box. Also, you will be able to choose whether a dedicated DICOM viewer should be included on the CD/DVD, and the Operating Systems this viewer should be compatible with.
Eventual reports associated with the studies present in the CD/DVD compilation will be included in the produced CD or DVD, and will be viewable through the embedded DICOM viewer.

Important note: please consider that selecting compatibility of the viewer with multiple Operating Systems will require more space on the CD/DVD, and more time will be needed to burn the media. So we suggest enabling compatibility with multiple Operating Systems only if required. |
The explained concepts also apply to server-side burning of DICOM CDs or DVDs, when available.
In the case of the Burn DICOM CD/DVD locally functionality, DICOM anonymization is supported: it is possible to produce CDs or DVDs containing an anonymized (i.e., de-identified) version of the selected DICOM studies or patients. Please refer to the previous chapter related to DICOM export for details about the anonymization preferences.
