Once Pabau is set up as a DICOM destination on your ultrasound machine, choose how images get there. Either press a button during the scan (a P, S, Print or Acquire button), or have the machine send everything when you end the exam. This guide shows where that setting is on each machine.
NOTE: Set up the Pabau destination first, using the guide for your machine in Setting up your Ultrasound System. If your machine already sends automatically at the end of each exam, you don't need to set a button.
