The DICOM Thumbnails Retrieval task retrieves thumbnail images of DICOM studies from the Nil server, a component of the NilRead Enterprise Viewer. These thumbnails are stored as renditions of existing studies imported by the HL7 DICOM Processor. When the studies are retrieved using OnBase Patient Window, the document list can display the thumbnail images, allowing users to quickly identify the study or series they are looking for.
Thumbnails can be retrieved only for image-based modalities. If a thumbnail cannot be retrieved for a study document, Patient Window will use a generic thumbnail indicating the document is a DICOM study.
The DICOM Thumbnails Retrieval task is available only on systems licensed for Medical Imaging Viewer - NilRead. This task requires components of the HL7 DICOM Processor and the NilRead integration to be correctly configured. For configuration requirements, see the Medical Imaging Viewer - NilRead module reference guide.
