The file browser

The file browser on the left of the layout groups all the files by patient, study, and series. When you click on any of the image file names, the image will be opened in the image viewer if the source image is available. You can expand the details to any level using the options listed in the Display button.

Filtering

You can also filter the images that are displayed by keying in the word you want to search in the Search area. DICOM Search will then display only images where the patient name, study description, series description, and file name contain your search word. For e.g. entering cyst will display only the images where the patient and study name contains the word cyst. You can enter multiple words to filter. Each word must be separated by a space. For e.g. entering cyst torso will now also display the study that contains the word torso, in addition to the cyst images we filtered previously. Let’s explore the image viewer next.
