Set Up VP Imaging Integration

Use your Image Integration tools to setup your VP Imaging properties.

1. Open Image Integration Options - ViewPoint main menu > Tools & Utilities > Image Integration.

   

2. Choose VP Imaging Options - Select VP Imaging as your integrated imaging package, and enter your imaging paths and properties.

   

   Activate VP Imaging - Enable the VP Imaging option to activate the integration.

   Path to Images - Navigate to the folder where your patient images will be located, such as C:\VPImages.

   Path to Capture Location - Navigate to the folder where your digital photos or scanned images are located before they are added to a ViewPoint patient folder.

   Path to Archive Location - Navigate to the folder where your archived images of inactive patients will be stored. See "Archive Patient Images (Data Tool 604)" for details.

   Auto-Delete Option - Use this option to direct whether or not the images will be deleted from their original location (i.e. your camera memory card) during import. Choose Ask to be prompted to delete the images; choose Never to always leave the images in their original location (you will need to manually manage these images later), or choose Always to delete the original files as soon as they are imported.

   Ceph Integration - Select the ceph package you want to integrate with your VP Imaging images. See "Edit Layouts" for special SmartCeph layout considerations.

3. Save Your Changes - Click Ok to save the changes you have made and close the editing window.

More Information

Source Image Resolution - It is generally unnecessary to take digital images at full resolution: Doing so may significantly slow down the operation of VP Imaging, and will require images to be converted each time they are viewed on your screen.

Imported Image Size - All imported and scanned images are converted to the width specified in the [MaxImageWidth] section of your advanced settings file, up to a maximum width of 1280. The image size maximum helps prevent significant slowing down of your ViewPoint system during the import process.
