* As of May 2008: It is NOT recommended that you install the Carestream Client on your personal computers at home until we upgrade to version 10.2 (Q3 or Q4 of 2008). After this upgrade the speed at which the software operates will improve greatly. You may still install the application, but you MUST follow the following instructions. Please note that it will be a slow process to both download/install the application as well as the view images once installed.
|
| ** In order to utilize the PACS System from OFF Campus you MUST establish a VPN connection with the University' network. To do so you will need to obtain and install the VPN tool on your computer. This option is available for all University Faculty, Staff & Students with a valid x-500 number. To obtain the VPN tool, please visit the ADCS website |

* Ability to read DICOMDIR compatible structure from any location (local computer, CD, USB Drive, etc).
* Ability to save images as TIFF format.
* ROI Zoom, ROI Windowing
* Last Scroll position from the archive explorer: if you are searching a list of studies which requires you to scroll to find cases, if you open a study after scrolling it will return you to the location where you were prior to opening the study instead of returning you to the top of the list.
* Ability to limit the number of cases that shows up in a filter. This is helpful for those who have created Folders for their cases to populate, where they can now indicate to show only the most recent 200 or 300 cases (as an example).
