Information profiles help you display the DICOM tag values directly in your image.

You can set up as many profiles as you require.  Information profiles are used to display tag details on your image in the DICOM viewer e.g.

 

preferences_07

 

 

To create a new information profile, click on the Add profile button.

 

preferences_08

 

Enter a name for the profile.

 

preferences_09

 

Next, define the tags you want to display in each of the 4 corners.  You can click on the Display tags button to help you find the group and element codes for the tags you want to display.

To define a line to display, you need to first enclose the text in angled brackets followed by the tag value.  For e.g. we want to display the patient weight in the top left area.  In the Tags and Fields window, we can see that the patient weight tag code is 00101030.

In the top left input area, we will need to enter <[00101030]> i.e.

 

preferences_12

 

In the DICOM Viewer, the weight (if available) is then displayed in the top left area of the image.

 

preferences_13

 

If we want to add some context to the value, we write the text before the tag value, after the first angled bracket e.g.

 

preferences_14

 

resulting in this:

 

preferences_15

 

You can add as many lines of text as you want to display multiple tags e.g.

 

preferences_16

 

preferences_17
