Image Quality Control

Overview

The Image Quality Control (QC) module in OmegaAI allows users to manage, organize, and validate medical imaging studies directly from the Study Explorer. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for series and study-level actions to support efficient and accurate quality control workflows.

To access the QC module, open the Image Viewer and click the Study Explorer icon in the top-left corner to expand the panel.

Move Series Between Studies

Series, frames, or frame sets can be moved between studies for the same patient within the Study Explorer.

  1. In the Study Explorer, click the study card to expand it and view its series thumbnails.
  2. Locate the series, frame, or frame set you want to move. To move multiple items, click the circular checkbox on each thumbnail to select them.
  3. Click and drag the selected item(s) toward the target study card in the Study Explorer.
  4. Drop the item(s) onto the target study card.
  5. A circular "Moving" loading indicator appears on the selected thumbnails, confirming the transfer is in progress.
  6. Once complete, the item(s) appear in the target study.

Merge Studies

  1. Click the checkbox on a study card to select it — studies must belong to the same patient. A blue checkmark appears on the card.
  2. Select any additional studies you want to merge using the same method. The bottom action bar appears showing the number of selected items.
  3. Click the Merge (branching arrows) icon in the action bar.
  4. The Select merge destination modal appears — select the destination study from the list.
  5. Click Merge to combine the selected studies.
  6. A circular loading indicator appears on the thumbnails while the merge is in progress. Once complete, the studies are combined into the destination study.

Note: If the source and destination studies contain series with the same Series UID, those series are merged rather than duplicated — the destination series retains only unique instances from both. If no Series UID conflict exists, the series is moved to the destination study as-is.


Unmerge Studies

  1. In the Study Explorer, click the merged study card to expand it.
  2. Hover over the Collapse section (^) button in the lower-right corner of the study card. The action bar expands to reveal Delete and Split study options.
  3. Click Split study.
  4. A circular loading indicator appears on the thumbnails while the split is in progress. Once complete, the study is reverted to its original components.
