Use Pie CAAS to complete an advanced analysis and then save the results to DICOM Secondary (SC) and XML files, if configured, which are then uploaded to Synapse. The file upload might take a few minutes. When Synapse receives the new content, the Arrival Notification icon displays.

Note:

Synapse displays a message if the file upload fails and attempts to resend the file. If any file uploads fail, the data and images files are copied to a 3rdpartyuploads directory in their respective Data or Images subdirectories. Synapse deletes files that are more than one day old; no further attempts to upload occur.

Do one of the following:
- In the Viewer, click Arrival Notification and then refresh the Viewer to view the newly uploaded DICOM SC file in the Series Picker. See Using the DICOM SR/PDF Viewer.
- In the AR Report, view and make changes as needed. See Creating and Editing a Report.

Results

For Advanced Reporting (AR) studies, when the export of the XML file is complete, the measurement data automatically populates the AR Report, where you can make additional changes.
