Statistics of the MRNs or ANs submitted in the last search is also reported. Links are provided to view MRNs or ANs that are duplicates or are not found. Users can use the links to examine these MRNs and export them.

  4. (Result Table) Results of the scout is shown in this table. Each row contains a patient. If more than one patient share the same MRN, then these patients show up as a single entry with an expandable button (see the patient with MRN = 4). Users can see all patients by clicking on the expand button. Users can sort by MRNs (cycling through ascending/descending/original order) by clicking on the MRN column header. However, this is the only column users can sort by.

  10. (Encryption Indicator) This indicator shows whether a download action can be performed. When it is red, the download button is disabled. When it is green, the download button is enabled. The indicator will show green only if (1) Encryption is selected, and an encryption key is supplied, or (2) User oped to use no encryption.
  11. (Download Selected Studies) Users can select this button to download the selected studies to the download location using any encryption settings that has been specified.

View Request Status

Users are transitioned to Tab 3 after selecting "Request Selected Studies" from Tab 2 or by clicking on the tab directly. This tab allows users to view the progress of all submitted requests. Since this tab does not periodically check with the mi2b2 server for the latest statuses, users are encourage to visit this tab often or click on the "Refresh" button to get the most recent statuses.

...

Each request has a status (column 2). A request's status typically transitions from Scheduled to In Process to "Completed". When an error occurs, the status will be Error. Sometimes not all images in a study are retrievable from the PACS. When this occurs, the status is Incomplete (incomplete retrieval). Finally, after a request is canceled, the status is Canceled.
