By default, the eFilm Workstation Study Manager displays the following four tabs.
Depending on how your practice uses eFilm, some of these tabs could be inappropriate and never used. For example, the Image Channel tab is used with the Merge Fusion PACS and allows all studies for any given patient to be streamed to the workstation immediatley - If you don’t use Fusion PACS, you will have little use for the Image Channel tab.
Have you ever wanted to remove a tab from being displayed?
If so, you’ve come to the right place - It’s a very simple process to remove one of these tabs.
Let’s say your practice doesn’t have a Fusion PACS and therefore does not use the Image Channel tab. You may want to remove this tab to avoid any unnecessary confusion for your radiologists.
1) Browse to the C:\Program Files\Merge eFilm\eFilm\ICP directory - A list of DLL files that relate to each tab is displayed:
- efICPLoc.dll = Local Exams
- efICPRem.dll = Remote Exams
- efICPDir.dll = DICOMDIR
- efICPDlp.dll = Image Channel
2) Rename the file of the tab that you wish to hide. In this example we will rename efICPDlp.dll to efICPDlp.old
3) Open eFilm and notice that the Image Channel tab is no longer displayed.
A couple of things to note about doing this:
- Do not delete these files, as you may require them at a later time.
- To re-display the tab back in the study manager, rename the file back to it’s original name.
- If eFilm Workstation is running while you rename the file, you will need to restart eFilm Workstation.
