The following instructions mostly use illustrations from Windows machines, but the instructions are equally applicable to all platforms, except where specifically noted, since the Java applet behaves the same way.
If you have obtained you images on a CD, as is usually the case, then we would like you to transfer the entire CD contents.
First, go to the upload page and wait for the Java applet to start (which might take a few moments, so you need to be patient).
Agree to trust the applet and agree to the terms and conditions. You will see the following dialog, and must click on "Yes, I agree" in order to proceed:
At this point, it would be highly desirable for you to enter the reason the imaging test (exam) was performed, which may be a diagnosis or some other condition, by clicking once on the button labeled "Enter Reason". This step is optional, however, and you may proceed directly to uploading the disk, if you prefer.
If you do elect to enter a reason, you can do so either by category, or alphabetically, as shown here:
Next, click once on the button labeled "Upload Disk" as shown here:
A dialog box will pop up asking you to select the drive containing the CD. It will start out showing the contents of the folders where your drives live ("My Computer" on Windows, and "/Volumes" on the Mac). Click once on the drive to select it. Note that the actual name shown will be the name written on the CD, and this varies between manufacturers and sites (it might be "CDROM" or it might be your name or ID number or similar). On Windows it will look something like this after you have clicked on the CD drive (the text "D:\" will appear in the File name box).
On a Mac, the dialog looks a bit different, and provides a list of mounted "volumes"; choose the on that has an icon that looks like a CD, not the ones that look like little hard drives ( named things like "Macintosh HD") or folders (that is your home directory).
Now you are ready to begin. On Windows, having selected the CD drive, click once on the "Open" button; on the Mac, click once on the "Choose" button.
The process of finding all the files on the disk, packaging and compressing them, encrypting them, and transferring them will start immediately. The transfer step usually takes the longest. There is sometimes a slight pause after finishing the encryption step and before beginning the transfer step caused by the delay taken to establish a connection; just be patient. The following screenshot shows a transfer in progress:
Do not do anything like close the web page, exit the browser, log off, put to sleep or shutdown your computer, or disconnect it from the network, during the transfer.
When the transfer is complete, the last line will say "Completed", and a success dialog will pop up, like this:
If an error occurs during transfer, it will look something like this:
There is no way to resume or recover from an error; you need to start again from the first step, once you have corrected the cause of the error. More information can be found in the FAQ section on troubleshooting.
If you change your mind at any step in the process prior to completion of the transfer, you can click once on the Cancel button, and the process will be terminated.
Once the transfer has completed, you can upload more. If you have another CD to send, for example if your exam is so large that it spanned multiple CDs, or if you want to upload an old examination, or an examination from another facility, just click once on the button labeled "Upload Disk" again. Note that you can only perform once transfer at a time. You have to wait for one to completely finished before starting another.
Or, if you have additional files to send, like scanned documents stored as files, then you can proceed to the using the "Upload Files" button, as described in the next section.
If you are satisfied that you understand these instructions and have read and understood the agreement, and have your CD ready to load, begin uploading by clicking once HERE.
