) Data Task Card, and using the Preview Image
function.
( 1
The Folder Cover and Data Task Cards are used
to view image data from one or multiple series.
A Folder Cover perrnits access to the database when
any patient folder is opened, without accessing a Data
Task Card. Additionally, in a Teaching Folder, the
Data Task Card and Folder Cover allow comparison
of images from more than one patient folder.
Along with the ability to create a subset of images

in a series when needed for further processing, these
l
l methods of viewing images allow for filming of
multiple sequences simultaneously.
The Preview Image function allows access to the

database and archive devices without opening a
patient folder. Images cannot be compared side by
side using the Preview function; however, filming can
be accomplished using the Snapshot Film tool.
