Filtering

 

You can filter the list by entering a value in the Search area e.g. if we enter knee in the search area, Easy DICOM Viewer will then display only items containing the word knee.  Easy DICOM Viewer will search for the value in the patient name, study description, series description, and file name.

If you need to enter a value containing a space, enclose it in double quotes e.g.
