Q: MiPACS template list has more templates than we need. How do I delete unused templates from the list?

A: Only a MiPACS application administrator can make changes to both default and custom templates by doing the following:

Delete a Template

To delete a custom template, simply go to the MiPACS Template Editor, click on the template name, and then press the DEL key on the keyboard. Although the default templates included with MiPACS cannot be deleted, they can be hidden so that they are not visible to users.

Hide a Template

You can also prevent any template from being displayed to users (without deleting it) by hiding the template. To do this, click on the template name and then change the value of the Hidden property to Yes in the Properties pane.

One of the new additions to MiPACS Storage Server v3.0.0.2 is that AE titles can now have a “Last Access” date. This is very useful for customers who manage a large amount of AE titles.

The Mach refers to an optical phenomenon where the inbuilt edge enhancement mechanism of the retina (where the edges of darker objects next to lighter objects will appear lighter and vice versa) create a false shadow ("Mach band") in a radiograph. Mach bands generally manifest adjacent to metal restorations or appliances and the boundary between enamel and dentin. This effect has been attributed as a source of diagnostic error in radiology.

By covering up the lighter object, such as a restoration, with a black square, one can reduce this effect and see the actual shade of gray present within the image pixel data without the brain trying to enhance the differentiation. For optimal results, the black square in the Mach effect correction tool should be angled parallel to the edge of the object and sized accordingly to cover it up.

To access this feature, simply look for this icon on the toolbar:

Did you take images on the wrong patient? Don't panic! If you have NOT approved the images yet, this is an easy fix!

Simply follow these steps to move the images to the correct patient:

1. Do not approve the images until they are in the correct patient record.
2. Open MiPACS to the patient record where the images currently reside (i.e., the incorrect patient record).
3. Select the image(s) you wish to transfer by left-clicking the image. To select multiple images at the same time, hold the Ctrl key and click on each image to select them, or press Ctrl + A to select all images. A border will appear around the image(s) to designate that they have been selected.
4. Once selected, right-click on any selected image and select copy to clipboard.
5. After repeating steps 1 & 2 for all images you want to move, open the correct patient.
6. In the correct patient, create a new series, as if you were going to take images.
7. After the series has loaded, click the down arrow above the series list on the left (or right, if configured that way).
8. Open the clipboard by selecting Clipboard. Here, you will find the images you copied to the clipboard.
9. You can now select the images you wish to transfer. Left click the images to select. You can select multiple images by holding down the Ctrl key and left-clicking each image.
10. Simply drag and drop the images into the series.
11. After dragging and dropping the images, the MiPACS Viewer will ask if you want to move the image(s) into this series and if you wish to continue. Hit Yes.
