Tagging images

Tags are metadata that describes the images e.g., type of stain, tissue, the scanner used, etc. The tags can be organized in tag groups, which is all handled within the new data.

note

The tags are image specific and will be valid for the image regardless of which study the image is part of.

It is recommended to set up the tag structure before importing too many images to the database since it otherwise can become difficult to use the tags effectively.

  3. Click on Add Tag Group to add a new group of tags.
