PNG, jPEGS, Bitmap BMP, TIFF and Dicom files are all compatible image files.
All these will be stored in your CASES section of your left-hand menu.
If you import a dicom, VPOP converts and stores it to a jpg to allow you to plan, manipulate and superimpose templates on it. Dicom relative metadata will also be available to be imported into VPOP too, simply click on the case thumbnail title in a case to see and edit it.
TOP TIP- taking a screenshot of any image in view is super handy- these are PNG files that you can upload too. Just remember to have a calibration reference in view.
Mac CMD + shift + 5, (drag to select the area > capture desktop > drag image to VPOP icon, window or case. )
Windows 10+ Windows key + Shift + S
iOS – On/off + volume up. (select and crop to the area you wish to save) > VPOP case study > add image > select from photos.
You can import individual dicom slices that you wish to select.
VPOP does not support importing a whole CT study yet.
Remember you can also upload any screenshot PNG files of an 3D reconstructed MPR image that you have viewed. Just make sure you have a calibration reference displayed- just measure a distance between two landmarks in your CT MPR viewer first and use your patient’s anatomy as your reference for calibrating the PNG file.
Certain Dicoms will contain calibration references of pixel to mm, however we advise against using this since the software that has created your dicom may not be calibrated correctly. We strongly advise using radio opaque calibration markers, the longer the better to minimise proportionate errors, and place them level and adjacent to the area of your anatomic interest.
Any uploaded PDFS such as histories, CT reports, blood analysis, histopathology and consent forms, are held in the PDF section in your menu ‘Clinical Hx, labs, pdfs’
Please note, if PDFs contain any images of radiographs, you cannot plan and template with these in your VPOP pdf viewer, however you can simply and quickly take a screenshot of any image in the pdf and import that in the normal way, as that is a PNG image file.
Finally, any reports that you create, or from templates, are also stored as PDFs in ‘Reports / Templates’ section of your left-hand menu. These can be downloaded by just clicking on the ‘arrow down’ icon in the top right-hand side when you are viewing your report.
