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.
