Data Loading

The layout of PCARDP is designed for processing the stress study in the upper half of the window, and the rest study in the lower half. Otherwise the results will be labeled incorrectly and the comparison will be wrong. If only one study is processed, it should be loaded into that part which is more appropriate for labeling. Note that if two studies are selected for loading, the first one will be considered as stress, and the second one as rest. When loading DICOM data, PCARDP will analyze the encoded information and show warnings if the model selection seems inappropriate or rest and stress series interchanged.

Loading from the Reorientation Page

On the Reorientation page data are loaded using the load buttons in the [STRESS] and [REST] area, respectively. Additionally, the page supports standard short axis orientation of the data and the definition of the myocardial segments.

Note the triangle button to the right of the loading button. It allows selecting the data format of the studies, in the example above Database. Activating the button opens an image data selection window for selecting and loading the images.

Loading from the DB Load Page

If the database functionality is enabled, the user interface shows an additional tab DB Load. On this page, both the rest and the stress studies should be selected for loading, with the stress study on top as illustrated below.

Alternatively, images can be loaded via the lateral taskbar:

Direct Loading

When selecting image series for loading, activate the Open button. In this case, the loading dialog window will not be shown and the images will be loaded with the corrections enabled in the configuration. If adjustments of the orientation or the timing are required, please use with Operations.
