The following workarounds can be used: 1) The image acquisition date and date of birth are displayed on the Image. The end-user can use the dates to verify the age or, 2) Open the Series Viewer by double clicking on the thumbnail displayed on top the Synapse VX Image viewing window or the worklist. The Series Viewer Window will render the image on the server using the Server-side rendering (Zero Viewer component) which will calculate the age correctly. Alternatively, the user can switch to the Synapse PACS Zero Viewer/Thin Viewer (Server-side Rendering). The Synapse PACS Zero Viewer/Thin Viewer calculates the age correctly.
