Obtain data via DICOM transfer

(1) Make a directory for your study. It is best to place it in the /export/w/Research_Studies directory, e.g.

(2) Also make directories for the sample data:

In this example, I'll use subject #39540's Implicit Reading 1 data. If you like, you can try some other subject's Implicit Reading 1 data.

(3) Bring up MEDx, open up a New Folder, then select Image --> DICOM --> Query/Retrieve...

(4) For "Patient Last Name", type in

(5) Click on the Query button. Two entries for 2005-08-09 will appear in the white panel, corresponding to two DICOM Studies.

(6) Double-click on the first entry (Study ID 1) to see the Series within this Study. This will pop up the Series tab, and a list of Series.

(7) Find the entry with Description ep2d Implicit Reading 1, using the scrollbar if necessary. Single-click on this entry; it will become highlighted in blue. Then click on the Retrieve button. A dialog box will appear, asking you whether you really want to proceed; click on the Yes button. MEDx's Busy button will turn red, indicating that MEDx is busy. After about a minute, the MEDx folder should contain 89 images.

(8) Select Page --> Page Properties.... This will pop up the Page Properties dialog box.

(9) In the Page Properties dialog box, insert the word 2bdone anywhere in the Page Name. Then click on the OK button.

(10) Select Folder --> Folder Properties.... This will pop up the Folder Properties dialog box.

(11) In the Folder Properties dialog box, click on the checkbutton next to Save All Pages Locally, so that it turns yellow. Then click on the OK button.

(12) Select Folder --> Save Folder. This will pop up the Save Folder As... dialog box.

(13) In the Save Folder As... dialog box, browse to the RawData directory that you created in step 2 above. You can do this by double-clicking on directory names in the white panel under Directories: (".." means go up a directory); or by typing in a directory name under Filter: and then clicking on the Filter button. Probably the easiest thing to do is to simply type (e.g.)

into the Filter: box, and then click on the Filter button.

(14) Still in the Save Folder As... dialog box, under Selection:, type in

This is case-sensitive!! Then click on the Save button. Then exit MEDx.
