### Viewing DICOM header information

DICOM files contain information about a study and the images it contains. A DICOM file is generated by the image device, when the images are captured. Each DICOM file contains two parts:

| • | DICOM header, which contains all the patient and study data associated with the image

| • | Other Image Data, which conveys the pixel information

Displaying the DICOM header

To view DICOM header information for an image:

| 1. | Right-click the image and point to Study Info, and then select DICOM Header Viewer.

Note: Whether the Study Info option is displayed on the right-click menu depends on your right-click preferences. See Right-click menu preferences.

The DICOM Header Viewer is displayed, listing the DICOM header information.

| 2. | Click Close.

Sorting the DICOM header

To sort the DICOM header:

| 1. | Click the column header of the column by which you want to sort.

An arrow is displayed to the left of the column header. A Down Arrow indicates an ascending order (A-Z or 1-10), and an Up Arrow indicates a descending order (Z-A or 10-1).

| 2. | To reverse the sort order, click the column header again.
