Download DICOM Study

Download DICOM Study Download the selected study to your local machine as a DICOM file contained in a zip file.

If this feature is enabled, you can download the selected study to your local machine. The downloaded study (that is, all of the viewable images, associated reports, Key Images, and any Presentation States) will be downloaded to your local machine as raw DICOM files contained in a zip file with the naming format <patient id>_<study date>_<study description>.zip. Note that DICOM images will not be viewable on your local machine without a DICOM viewer.

The zip file also contains a readme.txt file that includes the number of images in the study, a list of downloaded image files, and the number of images downloaded. The file also shows the overall status of the download (that is, success, fail, or completed with errors). If there were any errors encountered while downloading images, the names of the missing images and their associated errors will be recorded in the readme file. For increased visibility when there is an error, the zip file will also contain a download-error.txt file that lists the errors and the images that failed to download.
