eTIPS

Did you know you can upload pictures from your camera / camera roll as DICOM studies by using your mobile phone or tablet?

The PowerShare mobile app allows users to view images and reports uploaded to PowerShare. In addition, the PowerShare mobile app also allows users to convert and upload visible-light and non-DICOM medical images, such as digital photographs, as easy as uploading a photo to Instagram. Whether JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG or PDF, your images can be converted to a standard DICOM format for upload.

The PowerShare mobile app is available on the Apple store for iOS tablets/phones and on Google Play for Android phones.

Owner (Mine/Shared)

Sharing Institution (The facility or account name that shared the image)

DICOM Institution (The facility at which the image was taken)

NOTE: Depending on your screen resolution, column width may require horizontal scroll to see all column data.
