Need to back up all images. Selling system

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
May 14, 2025

To back up all images from the iCR 3600 system, you need to use the "Save Repository to Disk" function. This option saves the image processing parameters along with the images. It's important to remember that any changes to image processing parameters must be clinically validated, either through the Image Comparison Window or using the standard XC workflow.

Here’s a detailed step-by-step:
1. Open the iCR 3600 system interface.
2. Navigate to the repository of images you want to back up.
3. Click on "Save Repository to Disk" — this will save all current images and their related processing settings.
4. Make sure to validate any parameter changes if they were made before saving.

Would you also like me to explain how to retrieve the images later?
