This is not a website, but a client based application, therefore you have to contact us for an installation of the software on your PC. The minimum PC requirements are:

How to access images and reports:

Once you have logged in, wait for the screen to refresh completely before you click anything.
To search for a patient, click on the word Advanced (next to Search)
From the drop-down list "Add criteria" select Patient name.
Type in your patient's surname, followed by a comma and the first initial.
Click on "SEARCH" or hit the enter button.
From the list generated select your patient by double-clicking on the patient's name. Wait for the images to open.
Images will be displayed with thumbnail images on the left side. To view thumbnail images drag and drop them into the image area.
To view CT / MRI images, scroll through the series using your middle mouse button or the PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN keys on your keyboard.
To view the report, click once on the "TEXT" icon in the top left corner. The report as well as patient information will be displayed.
To return to the images, click on the "TEXT" icon again.
To return to the Search / List area, click on the word "LIST"on the top of your screen in the green bar. Alternatively, you can close all open images (right click on tab at the bottom of screen with the patient's name, select "Close all") and you will automatically be returned to the Search / List screen.
