Radiology/DICOM import

Feel free to upload any patient case, as it will automatically be visible to your institution only. Therefore, patient privacy is fully protected as it will not get shown to anyone other than the login accounts attached to your institution.

Plug in a USB or external hard drive with the anonymized patient DICOM data to the USB ports. On the Table, the USB ports are located on the right-hand side of the Table. On the Board, these are available on the computer.

There is an Import button, located on the right-hand side toolbar. Select the location of your case file (external hard drive/USB, or CD). The import destination is locked to your institution’s private space, ensuring patient privacy compliance.

You can then access your imported cases through LibraryImported. (Note: Occasionally, anonymized files will be imported into LibraryMismatched instead, because of either a lack of input information or duplicate IDs in the system. If this happens, please contact support@sectra.com.)

When importing a case, it is recommended to add additional information about it, such as keywords and clinical information, which will appear under Teaching Files. Keywords constitute a useful way to perform a case search. Enter the keywords for your case and at least information about patient age, sex, body part and normal vs. abnormal. Note: When typing in a keyword, suggested keywords will automatically appear. Please try using the suggested keywords whenever possible.
