What is the Ambra for Box integration?

Ambra Health is a medical data and image management cloud software company that offers a best-of-breed web-based DICOM viewer. Accessible through any web browser, the Ambra DICOM ProViewer enables access and collaboration on DICOM images from anywhere on any device.

 

With Ambra for Box, you can:

  • Immediately create, open and view DICOM studies, including legacy boxdicom studies.

  • Collaborate on imaging studies by annotating, measuring, comparing images, and more.

  • Take advantage of simple-to-use viewing and 3-D manipulation tools.

 

Notes:

  • More information about the Ambra ProViewer is available at https://ambrahealth.com. 
  • Your Box Admin must enable the Ambra for Box integration for Ambra actions to show up in your Box environment

This opens the study in Ambra ProViewer in a new browser tab.

 

Note:
The first time you open a DICOM study with Ambra ProViewer Box displays a consent window to grant access to the study files. This access grant is limited to the study and the underlying DICOM files.

 

 

Uploading a new study

The DICOM uploader is available directly from any folder and can be accessed from the Integrations > Upload DICOM files prompt in the folder menu with one click.
