How to Search and Filter Your Scans

Overview

Once you have a number of scans in your account, being able to search and filter them to find the one you need becomes essential. In the 3DICOM Mobile App, you can use the search bar and filtering options to easily locate scans by Scan Name, Scan Type/Modality (e.g., CT, MRI), or Date Range.

This guide will show you how to refine the list of scans displayed, so you can easily identify specific scans by modality or the period in which they were performed.

Before You Begin

To access any scan on the 3DICOM Mobile app, make sure:

Your scan is first uploaded to your 3DICOM account via the web platform at my.3dicomviewer.com

You log in to the 3DICOM Mobile app using the same credentials as the web platform.

You have a stable internet connection.

Scans will not appear in the 3DICOM Mobile app unless they have first been uploaded to your 3DICOM account.

How to Use Search

The search bar is located at the top of the Welcome screen and provides a quick way to locate specific scans by the Series or Scan Name.
Search is handy when you have many scans in your account and want to jump directly to a particular Scan.

Use the steps below to enter a search term and instantly narrow your scan list.

Steps to get there:

1. Enter either full or part of the Series or Scan Name into the Search field.

2. Press Return or Go on your device keyboard to refine the search result.

You should now see a refined list of scans narrowed down according to your search term.

How to Use Filtering

The filtering option is easily accessible from the Welcome screen when you log in to the app. This screen displays the complete list of scans available in your 3DICOM account.

Use the steps below to apply filters and refine this list to quickly locate the scans you need.

Steps to get there:

Once logged in, you will see the Welcome screen, which displays a complete list of scans available on your 3DICOM account.

1. At the top of the screen, tap the funnel icon to open the Filters menu.

2. Use the Date Range fields to select a start and end date if you want to filter your scans by when they were performed.

3. Use the Scan Type checkboxes to specify the type of scans you want to include (e.g., CT, MRI).

You can select more than one option, or leave all options unselected to view every scan type.

4. Tap ‘Show’ to apply your filters and view the refined list of scans.

You should now see a refined list of scans narrowed down according to the filters you applied.
