Image Properties

Use the Image Properties tools in the Actions section of the Edge Imaging ribbon bar to review image details, edit the date the image was actually taken (which may differ from the timepoint date), and add notes to the image.

How to Get Here

  1. Enable Edit Tool - Click Edit from the Imaging section of the Edge Imaging ribbon bar. Editing mode is not available from cardflow layouts. You can, however, maximize individual images in a cardflow layout to edit them. Your Edge Imaging background changes slightly to indicate when you are in Edit mode.

  2. Select Image - Select the image to work with, then enable the tool you want to use in the Actions section of the Edge Imaging ribbon bar.

Use This Feature

Click to OpenImage Properties - Click the Image Properties icon in the Actions section of the Edge Imaging ribbon bar to review details about the image file. You can also edit the image date, and add a note about the image from the properties window. Any changes you make are not permanent until you save them, described below.

Delete Image- Click Delete Image in the Actions section of the Edge Imaging ribbon bar to remove the selected image from the patient folder.This tool is most useful for clearing an image type when you need to replace an image that was imported in error. The deletion is not permanent until you save your changes, described below.

You can use the Recover tool to restore a patient image that was previously deleted. See "Recover Deleted Patient Images" for details.

Save Changes - Click Save in your Quick Access toolbar or File ribbon bar (or press Ctrl+S on your keyboard) to save any changes you have made. If you are in Edit mode, and have enabled the Exit Edit on Save setting in your Imaging User Options, you return to viewing mode after saving the image. Otherwise, you remain in Edit mode, where you can make more changes as needed.

Exit Edit Mode - Click Cancel in the Imaging section of the ribbon bar, if needed, to exit editing mode without saving any additional changes.
