Importing Images Into Exa
**The correct Tool drivers must be installed on your computer**
1. In Exa, click the lower gear icon on the right side tool bar (green circle).
2. A pop‐up menu will appear after clicking the gear icon. Select Import Images.
3. Opal Import will open a new window. To import outside DICOM images, make sure the Overwrite and Modify
Demographics boxes are checked. Then click the upper left button titled “Select Files/Folder or DICOMDIR to
Import”.
4. Search your DVD RW (D:) Drive. There should be a folder labeled “DICOM” or a numbered file. Select that
folder. When in doubt, select everything. Exa will not import non‐dicom files.
5. Your selected files will be shown for Import. Click the Import button.
6. The Modify/Confirm Demographics box will pop up. On the left side will be the demographics from the
providing facility. On the right side, the ID will need to be changed to match the OSH MRN. The Institution field
should be changed to Oklahoma Surgical Hospital. Click the Modify button on the bottom of the box to
complete the changes.
7. Let files import. Once imported, close the Import box. It may take a few minutes to show under that patient’s
name when searching. The exam status will show a purple Import box.
