Deleting a US Virtual Series
You can delete an ultrasound (US) virtual series from the Series Picker in the Worklist, PowerJacket, Viewer, and the Anywhere Series Picker using the Series Picker context menu. The Delete Selected Series option is not supported for data sources earlier than Synapse PACS 7.1.
Synapse automatically creates a virtual series by grouping (stacking) multiframe ultrasound images with the same View and Stage Number DICOM tags into a single series. To identify a virtual series, hover over the thumbnail in the Series Picker to display the tooltip. If the tooltip says, This series is temporarily merged on the display, it means the series contains stacks.
Prerequisites
The Delete Selected Series option requires the Workstation Series Deletion permission. See your System Administrator for more information.
Steps
- CTRL + click a thumbnail in the Series Picker to select it.
- Optional: CTRL + click multiple thumbnails to select more than one series. You can choose combinations of series and virtual series from the current study and prior studies if you are using auto compare.
- Right-click to display the context menu.
- Select Delete Selected Series. The Delete Series dialog displays the series and its stacks.
- Do one of the following:
- Select the parent entry for a study to delete all its stacks.
- Clear the parent entry and select the individual stack(s) if you want to delete specific stack(s).
- Click Delete.
Results
- Synapse deletes the series or stacks.
- Synapse updates the Number of Frames (image count) in the Series Picker and the stack label in the Viewer viewport. If you delete all the stacks, no label displays.
