How to find a patient in the image archive

• After the login process is complete, a patient query window will popup. The window is titled "Load parameters".
• The query window has the following fields:
• Patient's last name
• Patient's first name
• Patient ID
• Number of days covered
• Ref. phys. last name
• Ref. phys. first name
• Accession number:
• DICOM server
• In order to access the image archive, you must change the DICOM server from "Local" to "Agfa". Click on the triangle at the right hand side of the box to change the DICOM server.
• You may enter any part of a patient's last or first name in the appropriate boxes.
• Accession numbers, Referring physician name, and Patient ID are not reliable search fields at present.
• TIP: To view all patient examinations performed since midnight of the current day, enter "1" in the "Number of days covered" box.
• You may enter 2 or 3 in the same box if you wish to view the last two or three days of patient examinations.
• If the number of days is too large, the query may exceed the maximum allowable limits.
• Click on the "OK" button at the bottom of the query window to retrieve a list of patient(s).
