De Digitalizações/Registros

Opening a scan from Scans/Records.

O Digitalizações/Registros section is where you’ll find all medical imaging files that are uploaded to your account, or shared with you directly or via a Tenant/Vault you have been granted access too.

Understanding the File Structure

📁 Doente — The main folder containing all studies for one patient.

📁 Estudar — A specific imaging session (e.g. CT Chest – 2025-09-15).

📂 Série — A set of related images and files within a study.

Scans are located in the Série folder.

You can navigate your records in two ways in the Scans/Records Section:

• Expandable file structure in the left panel, showing folders for Patient, Study, and Series.
• Double-click functionality in the right content area, which steps you through each folder level.

Tip: The headings above the main content area always show which level of the folder structure you currently have open.
