Login to the database

This tab allows the user to connect to a web database using the credentials register in this database. The user can only access the web system if he has the correct permissions.

Download data using a patient Id

After connecting to the database, the user will have access to the file stored in the database and has 2 options: Downloading an entire collection. This button will download the selected collection using the following architecture. CollectionName | |-- .DBIDescriptor | |-- Patient1 | | | |-- Date1 | | | | |-- .DBIDescriptor | | | | | |-- Attachment1(.vtk|.nrrd|...) | | . | | . | . . | . . . . . . . . Downloading only one attachment. If the user has already downloaded the collection locally, the destination would be PathToTheCollection/CollectionName/PatienId/Date/. The user needs to select first a collection, then a patient Id and finally the wanted attachment in an attachment list generated by the collection and patient selected.

Download data using date and patient Id

500px

This panel is a bit different than the previous one as it allows the user to use a calendar to find a file date corresponding to the patient Id selected. The dates containing an attachment for the selected patient Id are highlighted in blue to help the user to find data and the last date clicked is highlighted in grey.
