To archive studies locally,
you can use the Studycast archive feature to create the archive file. To
archive studies, start from the Studies page.
1. Click the check box next to each study you want to archive.
2. Click the down arrow at the top of the check box column. In the menu that opens, select Archive.
3. Archive Format: You have the option to generate a Zip archive or ISO Image. If you plan to burn the archive to a CD or DVD, choose ISO Image. If you plan to save the archive on a local or network drive, choose Zip archive.
4. Item Format: You can choose to archive the study in the Original format, Multimedia, or DICOM.
o Original: File format that was uploaded - Use when including Studycast image viewer.
o Multimedia: Useful for presentations (jpeg/mp4).
o DICOM: Medical image format – Useful for viewing in DICOM viewer. To see annotations in a non-Studycast viewer, check the Include as permanent burn-in box for Annotations.
5. Include: Choose whether to include the Image Viewer, Study attachments, and/or Study report.
6. Annotations: If you've made annotations on any of the study's images or loops, you can choose to include the annotations as a separate layer or have them permanently burned into the images and loops. If you include them as a separate layer, they can only be viewed in the Studycast image viewer.
7. Comment: To add a comment, click the dots and begin typing. This comment can be helpful in identifying the study on the Downloads page when multiple studies are listed.
8. Click the Archive button to submit the archive request.
· ZIP Max Size = 4 Gigabytes
· ISO Max Size = 8.4 Gigabytes
Item format and selected options affect the overall size of your archive.
· Original and Multimedia are typically smaller in size because they use the format the image was uploaded to Studycast in. Often this is JPEG for images and MP4 for cine loops.
· DICOM images are much larger in size and fewer will fit into a single archive.
If the archive you are trying to create is too large, there are a few things you can try to reduce the size:
· Switch to ISO format instead of ZIP
· Select fewer studies to include in the archive
· Choose Original or Multimedia format instead of DICOM
· Exclude the Studycast Image Viewer or Study Attachments
To retrieve your archived
studies, click on Downloads in the
main menu at the top of the page. The Downloads page indicates the status of
each archive request. When the study has been archived, the status will
be Completed, and a link will be provided for
you to download the study.
Archived studies are available on the Downloads page for one week. The date that each study will be removed from the Downloads page is listed in the Expiration Date column.
If you saved the studies
in a Zip archive, you will need to unzip the downloaded file (found in
DOWNLOADS folder of PC) and extract the contents to view the files. To do that,
1. Open the .zip file.
2. Click the Extract all files button.
3. Click the Extract button.
If you chose to archive
the studies as an ISO image, place a blank disc in the CD/DVD drive. To burn
the disc using Windows Image Burner,
1. Right click the .iso file (found in DOWNLOADS folder of PC) and select Burn disc image.
2. Click the Burn button. The status will indicate when the disc has been burned successfully.
