Opal – RAD User Manual

Introduction
Opal-RAD Viewer (a.k.a. “Viewer” for brevity) is an
application that allows users to view and manipulate vast
amounts of DICOM and patient information.
There are two basic functions in the viewer: selecting a
patient and viewing that patient’s images. As such, the
program is divided into two interfaces: the Study List screen
for selecting patient studies, and the Diagnostic-Quality
Image Viewer screen for viewing and manipulating the
images. As you use the viewer, you will find that you
alternate between these two screens quite frequently.
In this chapter we will look at a sample user session of the
Viewer. This session includes the following steps:
• Logging In
• Study List screen
• Sorting and Searching the Study List
• Installing the Image Viewer software
• Opening a study in the Image Viewer
• Image Viewing screen
• Closing a study
