DICOM Attachment Viewer

Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare User Guide

View Attachments

To view attachment content: Double-click the row in the Attachments table, OR, select the row in the Attachments table, then select the View Attachment task to the left. A confirmation dialog pop up, asking you what type of viewer to use. There are four types of attachment viewers: Text, Image, DICOM, and PDF. The dialog will try to pre-select the viewer for you based on the Type of the attachment. If you need to override that selection and choose a different viewer, you can do that by using the drop-down menu. If you want to bypass this dialog and have the Message Browser always automatically open the viewer based on the Type of the attachment, you can check the Always choose check box. This setting can be reset later in the Administrator Settings Tab. Once you have chosen a viewer, select the OK button to proceed. Parent topic: Attachments Tab

Attachment Table Columns

Column Description # The sequence numbers associated with the attachment(s). This usually starts at 1 and increase for every attachment in the table. In some cases for DICOM messages you may see a single row that has a range of numbers in this column, indicating that multiple attachments have been stored for a single DICOM message. Type The type of attachment stored. This will either be a MIME type like "text/plain" or "application/pdf", or "DICOM" in the case of DICOM image attachments. Attachment Id The unique ID of the attachment. If multiple attachments have been combined into a single entry you will see a comma-separated list of IDs. Parent topic: Attachments Tab

PDF Attachment Viewer

Use the PDF Attachment Viewer for application/pdf attachments. The viewer enables you to switch between pages, print the document, and more.
