Copy, edit, and push studies in PowerShare Image Sharing

Use Copy, Edit, and Push to PACS when you need to update a study that you shared with you before sending it to your PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System).

Use Copy, Edit, and Push to PACS when:

  • You need to update a Shared study.

  • You can't edit the original study.

  • You want to ensure accurate information before sending to PACS.

What is Copy, Edit, and Push to PACS?

Copy, Edit, and Push to PACS lets you:

  • Copy a shared study into your account.

  • Edit the study details.

  • Send the updated study to PACS.

  • Use this workflow because you can't directly edit Shared studies.

  • The copied study becomes a Mine study, which you can edit and send.

Before you begin

  • Sign in to your PowerShare account.

  • Confirm the study is available in the Images tab.

  • Make sure the study is marked as Shared.

  • Only Shared studies require this workflow before editing.

What happens next

  • The copied study is sent to PACS with the updated information.

  • The original Shared study remains unchanged in PowerShare.

Tip

  • Use Push to PACS for quick transfers without changes.
  • Use Edit and Push to PACS for studies marked as Mine.
  • Always review your updates before sending.
  • This workflow ensures changes are applied only to the copied study, not the original shared version.
