The primary feature of the Archive Tab is the ability to run queries and request image data from a DICOM device, optional Internet repository, or from a PACS that supports this feature.

For you to be able to query a DICOM Device (NWG2 in figure above) or archive, your system administrator must first set the security parameters of your viewer. This value is automatically filled in when you open the Archive Tab and should not be modified in normal use.

A query is typically specified by the patient's ID number to avoid spelling errors. For convenience, AMICAS automatically fills in this value to match the current study being viewed. Click 'Search Now' to find which studies are available in the archive. A list of studies will be returned with a check box to the left of each one. To move images from the archive onto the AMICAS server, use the check boxes to select the desired studies and click 'Restore Now'.

Important Note : The Restore process may take 10 minutes or more.
