Welcome to the AMICAS 2.2 Viewer. AMICAS is a Web application that allows you to view medical images as easily as you would a Web page.

The AMICAS Dashboard

The AMICAS Help pages appear in a window labeled, 'AMICAS Dashboard'. The AMICAS Dashboard is a popup interface that will act as your communication center within the AMICAS Viewer. If the Dashboard disappears, simply click on the icon marked, 'Query' in the upper left corner of your browser window. There is a picture on the next page which labels the icons on screen.

The AMICAS Help System

The AMICAS Help System is designed to get you quickly into the basic functions of AMICAS, and then to provide more information on extra features and capabilities. The next page will walk you through the first few steps and get you familiar with AMICAS' basic functions. Following that is an index of all of the rest of the pages in the AMICAS Help System. The navigational buttons in the top left corner of AMICAS Help will guide you step by step through all of AMICAS' Key Features.

Further Help

If there are any questions you have that extend beyond the scope of these pages, please consult the AMICAS 2.2 Viewer User's Manual. This is available either through your system administrator, or can be obtained by email to mergesupport@us.ibm.com.
