3.12 LOCAL DATABASE
The contents of the local database can be displayed by selecting the Local tabbed pane. Initially the panes
contents will be empty. Clicking on the Refresh button will display a tree of the latest state of the local
database. Note that whenever the application is running, it will be listening for incoming connections and will
store any DICOM composite instances received to the local database, though the displayed tree will not be
updated until the Refresh button is pressed.
The File button brings up a file dialog menu that allows selection of:
•
individual files, which will be loaded when selected
•
a DICOMDIR, all of whose referenced files will be loaded when selected
•
a directory, which will be recursively searched for DICOM files, all of which will be loaded
Just as with the DICOMDIR pane, the tree of the contents of the local database can be expanded and
collapsed as required, and images and spectra individually viewed in the display panel or selected for
transmission to other devices.
