The export contains DICOM files and a DICOMDIR, readable by any DICOM viewer. Server USB drives should be ejected safely from Windows before unplugging; downloads are kept on the server for 12 hours. Administrators choose the media layout under Settings → Export: DICOMDIR on/off, 8.3 file names for maximum compatibility, the default folder name, and an optional portable viewer copied onto the drive.
