Telling iq-view/KPACS to open from filesystem

You can import data from removable media or directories.

For a detailed description take a look at the iQ-VIEW manual.

Chapter 4.1.6.3 IMPORT FROM REMOVABLE MEDIA OR HARD DISC DIRECTORIES

Quote

To import DICOM images from your hard disc, another computer in a network, (patient) CD/DVD or memory stick into the local imagebox, you need to select the “Filesystem” tab in the query panel.
On the left hand a Windows® Explorer window will be opened where you can select the folder of DICOM files you wish to import. You can either use the “+” markers or double-click onto a folder to navigate in the folder structure.

There are two ways to access the available functions:
Select the folder you wish to use in the tree structure. Then use the buttons in the upper part of the tree-view panel:
Press the “Refresh folder” button to refresh the content of the currently selected folder including all subfolders.
Press the “Scan folder” button to start scanning the selected folder.

Alternatively, a right-click onto a folder not only selects the folder but also opens a menu with the available options:
“Refresh folder” = to refresh the content of the currently selected folder including all subfolders
“Scan folder” = to start scanning the selected folder and its subfolders

After selecting “Scan folder”, the application will scan the marked folder and all subfolders for valid DICOM files and sort them into series and studies. It will display found studies in the “Filesystem” study table.
At this point, no images have been imported yet into iQ-VIEW. The actual import process will start when selecting one or several studies and/or series and loading them into the viewer. In case that the application is set to only retrieve images but not show them, the “View” button will turn into a “Retrieve” button and the selected studies/series are retrieved without displaying them in the viewer.

what if when the FILESYSTEM TAB is selected the Windows® Explorer window is not shown on the left? what if it is not anywhere there? whats the problem then?

Dear chadd

In that case you might have run into a bug that was observed in iQ-VIEW 2.6.0 and which is documented in our feature and bug tracking system MANTIS (see http://mantis.image-systems.biz/view.php?id=1262). It happens when the patient list is not correctly closed (using the switch), but was just moved to the left with the mouse.

This bug has already been fixed since iQ-VIEW version 2.7.0. If you are interested in upgrading your iQ-VIEW to the current version (2.8.0), please contact your reseller before doing so to discuss the procedure and potential upgrade fees.

To fix the behavior in the current version, please follow the procedure outlined in the MANTIS issue:

- Close iQ-VIEW.
- Browse to the iQ-VIEW installation directory in the Windows Explorer.
- Open the file “iQ-VIEW.ini” and look for the following entries:

PatientPanelWidth=
PatientPanelExpanded=

- Delete the values stored after the equal sign (“=”).
- Then save the changes and restart the application.

The issue should be solved now.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I'll try and let you know.

Thanks! it worked. The Lord Jesus BLESS YOU.
