There are a lot of ways one can digitally squirrel away cool cases. The most socially acceptable way is to put them on our online teaching file so that others can see them and share them.

There are many ways to put new cases in our online teaching file. Many of them are a pain in the butt – largely because our PACS system has such crude output tools.

To minimize this glutealgia, we highly recommend that you e-mail your cases directly into the teaching file from your PACS workstation in DICOM format. Steps for doing this are shown below…

On the Exam Export window that pops up, click the “Export Images” tab, and then select the following options:

• Method: E-mail
• Export: All Images from Series
• Format: DICOM

Then click the broad button with an envelope on it.
