Text Only (Always) Will display the name of the tool in text instead of the icon.

This format is not recommended for archival purposes, but can be useful when a large number of images must be displayed on the same page.

Time Multiplier Determines the amount of time a Resource requires in comparison to other Resources of similar type while performing a study i.e. A study which requires 15 minutes on a resource with a Time Multiplier of 1 would require an hour on a resource with a Time Multiplier of 4.

Time Slots On the left side of the day is a white border which turns dark blue for the scheduled time. For example, if the entire day is booked then the entire border is blue; if only part of a time slot is booked, like to the side, then only the booked portion of time is blue.

Transfer Syntax Negotiation Before two stations begin exchanging DICOM data, they have to negotiate the best method for the transfer. This is done by each side presenting its possible transfer methods until a match is made. This process is known as Transfer Syntax Negotiation.

Transmit List The list containing the studies in the pending log.

Transmit Log Tab The tab displaying the list of all the studies that are currently being transferred, are queued up to be transferred or have been transferred out of the system.

True size Will display images in anatomic size, unless these are x-rays, in which case they will be presented in film size.
