Print Button Setup - R4.x and later
Compression:
Print buttons use the same formats as Compression on the Image Storage Service.
NOTE: Suppose compression is specified on a print button, and also on an image storage
service that is either assigned to the button or assigned to the dataflow in use. Also, suppose
the compression settings are different. At the point the LOGIQ E9 is to send an image
generated by the print button to the service, the LOGIQ E9 will first un-compress the
compressed version of the print button, and then recompress it using the settings of the
service. If the compression of the print button is lossy, the un-compression will not completely
restore the original im age. Then applying the co mpression of the serv ice still generates a loss y
image. The process of un-compressing and recompressing only has a negative impact on
system performance.
In general then, DO NOT use co mpression on a print key if images it generates end up getting
sent to a service; or, IF YOU DO, use the exact same compression on the service.
Clips / Volumes:
This section covers those settings for clips and volumes that can affect the number, contents
and properties of images sent to an Image Storage Service.
Clips: Add Multiframe Data:
Stores multiple DICOM frames (one bitmap for each frame). Select this to either store multiple
DICOM frames locally on the LOGIQ E9 or to export cine loops to import elsewhere.
This option requires more disk space and takes longer to store images after the print button is
pressed.
This format captures the image area only. It allows measurements without calibration.
Compression:
See Compression for Still Images above.
Volume File Format:
This only applies to volume images (3D, 4D).
1. Standard DICOM: Allows the user to not store raw data, for space considerations.
2. Standard DICOM with Raw Data: Stores the raw data.
3. Enhanced DICOM: DICOM provides separate tags and objects for 3D images. Many PACS
do not support them. If a customer's PACS does provide support, this setting will use the
3D-specific tags instead of standard tags. It also includes raw data.
2 & 3: Include both 3D-specific tags and standard tags.
