6) Navigating “All Files”

The “All Files” section in 3DICOM is a central hub for managing your DICOM files, whether you’ve uploaded them yourself or received them from others. Files are organized according to the DICOM standard, making it easy to navigate through Patient, Study, and Series levels.

Accessing and Managing Your Files

In All Files, you can:

• View DICOM files as long as they’re within the 7-day storage window or have cloud storage enabled for long-term access.
• Enable or disable cloud storage to keep your files accessible for up to one year.
• Share files with third parties, such as healthcare providers, directly from the platform.
• Anonymize sensitive data to protect privacy when sharing.
• View audit trails to track actions and ensure accountability.

Hierarchical File Organization

Following the DICOM standard, the All Files section organizes your files in a hierarchical order:

1. Patient: View all files associated with a specific patient.
2. Study: Under each patient, you’ll find one or more studies related to specific scans.
3. Series: Each study is broken down into series, which are sets of images or data points from a specific scan session.
