The Media page provides access to DICOM-compliant removable media inserted into the server’s CD/DVD drive or from the user workstation. Users must have CD Import permissions to import studies from DICOM media.
To import studies from removable media on a user workstation, do the following:
From the Archive tab, click the Media Import tab.
In the Search On field, select Client. This downloads and activates the import applet. Your browser must be configured to permit downloads and applet loads from your eRAD RIS/PACS server. When the applet is loaded, the Select button is enabled.
Click the Select button. A window appears for browsing your workstation’s file system.
Browse to the root directory of the DICOM media. For example, if you’re importing from a DVD, select the DVD drive.
Select the DICOMDIR file in the root directory of the DICOM media.
If no DICOMDIR file exists on the DICOM media, change the file type setting to Individual Files and browse to the directory containing the object files. Select the file you want to import. Press the Ctrl button while clicking to select multiple files.
Click Open. The contents of the media appear on the web page in your browser.
Import the studies.
To import multiple studies, check the box on the left of each study row and click the batch Import button, , at the top of the table.
To import a single study, select the Import button, , in the study’s row.
The progress bar displays the status. When it’s complete, the page refreshes.
In step 5a, when no DICOMDIR object exists, all the selected files are uploaded to the server, regardless of whether they are DICOM objects or not. The server inspects them and if found to be DICOM objects, includes them on the selection list. This can take a long time to complete.

When importing studies from DICOM media in a worklist-hub environment, the software stores the selected studies on a default hub server. You can override the system default by selecting a specific hub from the Target Hub list. This field appears when logged into a Worklist server, after you select the DICOMDIR or files in the browse panel.
Data imported from removable media is not sent to the archive.
