You can copy an individual patient image as well as all of the images in an entire timepoint from one patient to another.

Choose a Timepoint - To choose a timepoint to copy, simply go to the patient's Imaging page and view that timepoint on your screen. All of the images in this timepoint will be copied to the other patient.
