Start here to get a quick understanding of how to use the mi2b2 client for its primary tasks. The main tasks are broken down to the different main tabs in the interface. Use the following as a quick guide to navigate this manual.

1. Searching for Studies (Tab 1, Tab 2, and Tab 3)
   With Medical Record Numbers (MRNs) or Accession Numbers (NAs), users can search, refine, and select the studies that interest them them most. (more)
2. Configuring Download Options (Tab 3, Tab 5)
   Once a set of studies has been identified, users can request mi2b2 server to acquire them from the connected PACS. These studies will be copied into the mi2b2 server cache, and users can download them onto their own machines. (more)
3. Viewing and Managing Studies (Tab 4)
   Once the studies have been downloaded onto users' machines, users can use mi2b2's to quickly examine the images. While the image viewer in mi2b2 is not designed for medical diagnostic purposes, it does provide rudimentary image controls, allowing users to decide if the images are what they want. (more)
4. Managing Remote Cache (Tab 5)
   Users can interact with the cache on a mi2b2 server by deleting unnecessary studies to free up cache space, or download selected studies. (more)

In addition, users may apply sorting and filtering to tabled data and apply encryption.
