Send series links

Share a series of images with another user by sending them a link. The series specified in the link will open by default; however the entire study is still available to the user. Note that when you send a series link, the user will see the default view of the series, not the view you are using.

Note
Depending on your organization’s NilRead configuration, users may require a login name and password for NilRead to view the study.

1. Open a patient study.
2. Right-click (or touch and hold) a series, then select Send Series Link.
