Did you know you can add images to an existing upload on PowerShare?

If the same set of images for a patient is uploaded a second time, with an additional images or series – PowerShare will add the additional images to the existing image-set.

NOTE: In order to remove images, you must delete the entire image-set from PowerShare. Then, upload the image-set again without the unwanted images.

Did you know you have multiple options when viewing images on PowerShare?

PowerShare provides a full suite of image visualization and review features. Whether you are a surgeon preparing for a procedure or a PACS administrator reviewing an image set prior to retrieval to the hospital PACS, the tools are available to support you.

Basic – Launches the basic viewer, a simple JPEG display of the images which provides minimal manipulation functionality, but offers the easiest access from any computer.

Clinical – Launches the default clinical viewer for your account. Clinical viewers provide more manipulation functionality and are advanced viewers used primarily by physicians. Click here for additional information regarding available clinical viewers on PowerShare.
Note: Administrators can select a default from available choices using the Clinical Viewer Preference option under the Admin tab.   

These viewer options are available as Basic and Clinical buttons under the Viewer Option pane, which is located to the right of the results section of the Images tab. Multiple image sets can be compared side-by-side within the clinical viewer. Click the check box to the left of each row to indicate which studies should be opened prior to clicking the Clinical viewer button.

• Patients
• Physicians
• Hospital/Facility
• Groups
• All Contacts (default)

Alphabetic Filter - Click any one of the letters in the alphabet line to see a list of all contacts that begin with that letter.

Page Numbers - Click one of the pointers that surround the page numbers to go to a specific page of contacts.
