Image gallery

 

The image gallery option allows you to view images and video sequences before they are 
sent. It is possible to send only a selection of the recordings and to discard the rest.

 

This function is optional and must be enabled in DICOM Camera Server at each camera. 
(See the user manual of the DICOM Camera Server, chapter Configure cameras).

 

If this option is activated, a selection must be made before sending. The pictures will not 
be sent automatically.

 

Unselected shots are automatically deleted as soon as the examination no longer appears 

in the worklist. The recording of an examination marked as unfinished is not deleted by 
the camera (see section 2.7.4 and section 2.7.6).

 

If  the  option  image  gallery  is  deactivated  during  operation,  cached  recordings  are  still 
displayed until the exam has been deleted.
