1. Open the offline app (online version does not work, due to security constraints in the web browser)
2. Navigate to Settings (cogwheel icon up and to the right) > Clinic > X-ray integration
3. Click on the plus sign and select the "Carestream" X-ray software. The integration is created. Select the integration that was just added
4. To the right in the page, click on "Select Program"
5. Select the program named "TW.exe" (usually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Carestream\CSImaging\). Carestream should now show up in the navigation menu. When clicked, a command is executed on the computer.
6. Set integration type to ”command”
7. Set string arguments in Muntra (note it should match the database format). One common format and use of string arguments is the following:
Path to patient's files:
Order: 1
Label: -P
Model: patient
Column name: xray_id
Regular expression: (^.*$)
Substitution: P:\Bilder CSimaging\$1
NOTE! For this string argument you need to set the location for the x-ray imaging files on the clinic server in ”Substitution”.
Last name:
Order: 2
Label: -N
Model: patient
Column name: last_name
Regular expression: ”
Substitution: ”
First name:
Order: 3
Label: -F
Model: patient
Column name: first_name
Regular expression: ”
Substitution: ”
Patient ID:
Order: 4
Label: -D
Model: patient
Column name: social_security_number
Regular expression: ”
Substitution: ”
Patient date of birth:
Order: 5
Label: -B
Model: patient
Column name: social_security_number
Regular expression: ”
Substitution: ”
When clicked, a command is executed on the computer. For testing, the commands executed can be viewed in the console, e.g. in the Console tab in Chrome/Chromium.
How to find the exact launch command using Task Manager
If you are unsure which executable or parameters to use when setting up the Carestream integration, you can identify them by monitoring what gets launched on your computer using Task Manager.
- Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc
- Go to the Details tab
- Right-click any column header and select Select columns
- Enable Command line and click OK
- Keep Task Manager open and trigger the Carestream integration (e.g. click the X-ray button in your current workflow)
- Watch for a new process appearing — typically CS Imaging.exe or a Carestream-related executable
- The Command line column will show the full launch command, including the path to the executable and any parameters passed to it
Use this to fill in the program path and string arguments in Muntra as described in the steps above.
Note: The process may appear only briefly — watch carefully. In some setups a helper executable is launched first rather than CS Imaging directly.
