Importing DICOM Images

There are two different ways to import images into Spinalogic.

Option 1 – Direct DICOM push

This is where radiology directly push the images over the internet to your office. This is best, but takes a lot of setting up and many radiology services don’t do it. This is what you use when you send x-rays from your own machine.

Option 2 – DICOM Download

The radiology service you use has probably given you access to a web portal where you can access/view images on your web browser. In that, there should be an option to download a set of x-rays as DICOM. You may be able to find it easy enough, otherwise, get help from their IT on this. Once you can, here’re the steps to follow:

1. Create a folder on your desktop called, say, “DICOM Temp”
2. In the webportal, download the DICOMs into this folder
3. In Spinalogic, go to Clinical>Import DICOMs from Media.
4. Import DICOM Images window will pop open. Click the disc to browse to the folder “DICOM Temp” you created (see image below). Click ok.
5. In the Import DICOM Images window click the disc with the arrow to import the images.
6. All done!

Now you can go to > Clinical… Image Capture. Then analyse the images and done. Watch the video on digital x-rays now.
