There are two entry points in the UI to initiate a download. The first is in the Request Management UI (Tab 3), the second is in the Cache Management UI (Tab 5).

Each of these entry points require users to configure download settings before download can proceed. Users must set up

  1. A download location (where the downloaded studies will be stored).
  2. Encryption options

Encrypted studies have obfuscated versions of file names for the studies, series, and images (as opposed to the unencrypted version that uses the study/series/images ID from DICOM headers ). In addition, an image cannot be viewed (in mi2b2 client or any other DICOM image viewer) without a correct key. The aim of encryption is to add an additional layer of protection on the imaging data.

This document describes the interface by which users can configure these settings.

Download Settings Persistence

Regardless through which entry point users elect to configure the download settings, the settings is global to the mi2b2 client. That is, if the settings are set in Request Management UI, the same values will be in effect in Cache Management UI and vice versa. These values do not carry forward from session to session, however. When the client exits, all the settings are lost. The next time the client is launched, default values will be used.

Executing Download

...

After the download settings are properly configured, the settings is global to the mi2b2 client. That is, if the settings are set in users can execute download by using "Download Selected Studies" in either the Request Management UI , the same values will be in effect in or the Cache Management UI and vice versa. These values do not carry forward from session to session, however. When the client exits, all the settings are lost. The next time the client is launched, default values will be used. Users can then view these studies in the Image View UI (Tab 4). See Viewing and Managing Studies for more details.
