Missing Series Overview
Introduction
A missing series occurs when a reading protocol expects a series that is not present in an opened study.
DICOM Reading Protocols
When the defined DICOM properties do not match a series, Synapse displays blank viewports and the following information:
- Study Reference (current)
- Defined DICOM properties, such as:
- Image Type
- Image Orientation
- Contrast
- Stage number
- View Number
- Frames
- Series Contains
- Series Does Not Contain
Series-Based Reading Protocols
Series-based reading protocols are legacy reading protocols (4.x) or MG reading protocols.
When Synapse uses a series-based reading protocol to display a study and there are one or more missing series, Synapse displays a Series Not Found : <expected series name> message in the missing series viewport.
Adding a Series to a Missing Series Viewport
You can add a series to the viewport with a missing series message in the following ways:
- Use the Series Selection menu (SSM): right-click inside the viewport with the missing series information to view the SSM options.
- Drag a series thumbnail to a viewport.
- Drag a series from one viewport to another viewport.
You cannot drag the missing series message to another viewport.
