Save Significant Image

Significant Images are saved by the GE PACS for the convenience of referring physicians. These are DICOM files of screen captures which the reporting physician has deemed are interesting to the referring physicians. It must be easy for the reporting physician to create these screen captures, and a single keystroke Ctrl-S, or alternately choosing the menu item File -> Save Significant Image will perform the save.

A minimum of one path is required in Edit -> Options to choose Directory for Significant Image. Up to 10 paths may be defined.

If it is possible to write directly to the PACS, its AETitle etc, can be defined as the path. If there is no direct connection to the PACS, then a directory on a network drive will be chosen. It should be available to all computers on the LAN. Another program will perform the actual transfer of the screen dump to the PACS.

If myDicom used, it will very likely use the same path as the Significant Image.
