Description

Image Modality(ies)

Select from the available image classifications and move them to the Selected panel. If none are selected, then the search returns data for all modalities.


Regarding the text options:

  • Select ALL to return only cases where all selections apply.
  • Select ANY to return cases to which one or more of the selections apply.

Contrast

Select either option:

  • Enhanced
  • Un-enhanced
    If you leave both options unselected, or if you select both options, the results will be the same--as though you had selected both options.
