mi2b2 client allows users to execute actions configured in the mi2b2 server. However, the "Download to Local Machine" is always available regard of configuration. This document describes how to invoke these actions

Each action may contain several options. For example, the Download action allows users to choose a preferred download location and whether encryption is to be applied. Other actions may require users choose from a list of destinations, for example. All actions and their associated options need to be configured in the server.

Encryption is not demonstrated in the video. To apply encryption, users must supply a key. 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. For details about the encryption algorithm, strength, and the process of encrypting downloaded images, please refer the technical note on Encryption.
