5 Steps to De-identifying, Sorting and Transferring your DICOM Files
Step 1: DICOM Directory SelectionFind the data you want to
transfer. The default directory is your CD/DVD drive. You can select a
directory at any level and Trial Wire will detect all DICOM files in that
directory. For example, selecting your C drive
on a Windows machine will search the entire hard disk for DICOM files and will
take a considerable time to complete the search.
If you know where your data is,
the most efficient option is to select only that folder.
Click “continue” to start the
search Step 2: DICOM File SelectionTrial Wire will display all
DICOM files found in your selected directory. You can click “cancel” at any
time to stop the search. Files are displayed in a subject/study/series
hierarchy and you have the option here to select anything by ticking the boxes, from multiple examinations to a single
series. Step 3: DICOM Files De-identificationAt this stage Trial Wire will
either:
- Automatically change the DICOM
fields to de-identified or
- Allow you to manually change
any field highlighted in RED by clicking on the text. You have the option of adding a reason for
change comment here if you wish. This comment is stored in the Audit Trail but
not in the DICOM file itself.
Step 4: Audit Trail reportIf you would like to print a
record of the transfer and the de-identified fields with their original values
for your records you can do that here. Alternatively, review the files to
transfer and any modification to be made prior to transfer.
Clicking “Transfer” will start
the transfer process. Step 5: Transfer FilesIf you have selected an FTP
transfer you will be prompted for the username and password at this
stage. All changes to the DICOM files will only be made at this time. The progress of the transfer
is shown. This step may take some time as it is dependent on the size of file
and quality of connection. Your files will now appear in the destination
directory you selected earlier. Any errors in connection will be displayed in this window, if transfer
has failed because you have entered the incorrect details, click on
“Start Transfer” to re-enter the details here. Upon completion you can go back to the start to transfer more files or Logout.
