The DICOM Uploader allows bulk DICOM studies to be imported from a local device directly into Lifetrack PACS. It is particularly useful for importing historical studies from external media or devices that cannot push via network DICOM.

  • Select the Institution, select the Site, and choose the Status that the imported studies will carry in the Worklist once uploaded. 


Step 3: Add DICOM files

  • Drag and drop a DICOM folder into the Dropbox area, or click the Dropbox to open a file browser and select files or a directory manually 

Step 4: Select studies to import 

  • Tick the checkbox next to each study you want to import. 

Step 5: Anonymize (optional) 

  • Tick the Anonymize checkbox to strip identifiable patient data from the selected studies before import.
