MediScan user manual
1 Introduction to MediScan® 1 The MediScan® imaging system is a flexible image, video and patient data management system. It is designed to capture, organise and distribute images and video data with a minimum of fuss. The MediScan® imaging system delivers high quality digital images, videos and patient management for a number of medical environments.
The MediScan® imaging system is capable of capturing and storing a wide variety of digital still images, which can be used to visually document a patient's history. These images can be annotated with relevant clinical information. In addition to images, a written history database is included. Other relevant patient records that are available in electronic form can also be linked to the MediScan® record. The stand-alone MediScan or MediScan client is suitable for use in a patient environment.
MediScan® imaging system also provides a facility to export patient data to a CD or DVD for distribution or archival purposes. The MediScan® Viewer enables this data to be retrieved and viewed from any standard Windows PC. MediScan® can operate as a simple stand-alone image capture unit, or as part of an integrated network system. In a networked environment, data capture and retrieval can occur from any location on the network, allowing many users to share and review data from a number of locations.
MediScan® can also run in a simplified mode. This mode (described in Section 5) is intended to provide a streamlined video and still image capture method, with maximum ease of use. Data recorded in this mode can be later reviewed and annotated in the advanced mode.

Networked System MediScan® can be configured to operate in a networked environment. In this configuration, a number of MediScan® clients are linked by the network to a central MediScan® server.
Data is collected at each of the client installations. It is temporarily stored on the client system (i.e. "cached"), and then uploaded to the MediScan® server. The server acts a common storage area for the data, which, once uploaded by one client, can be viewed and annotated by all of the other clients on the network. The server also allows a common backup regime to be implemented. For details on maintaining MediScanon a client-server network, see the MediScan System Administrator User Manual, available upon request from DP Medical Systems Ltd. 2014 DP Medical Systems Ltd

Data Storage
The MediScan® systems come equipped with the capacity to capture video footage as well.
In the MediScan® imaging systems, all still images are kept on the system permanently, and need not be manually archived. As with all computer data, however, it is prudent to make back up copies.
Text data, still images, and file attachments are uploaded automatically to the MediScan® server, while video files can be uploaded manually or automatically. See Section 6.5.1 for further details on uploading video. Still images, letters, and video can also be archived to CD or DVD if desired.
