How to Export Scans from the Butterfly iQ+

The Butterfly iQ+ is controlled from the Butterfly iQ mobile app. You start on the live imaging screen (the screen you scan on); captures are saved there, and you share or download them from the Archive.

1. Capture images and clips (on the live imaging screen)

1. Tap the snowflake icon to freeze the live image, then the camera icon to save a still.
2. To record a clip, tap the video-camera icon; tap the red square to stop. Recording defaults to 60 seconds — stop early (or set a shorter max cine length in settings) to keep clips around 3–6 s.
3. Everything you capture appears in the Capture Reel (the filmstrip along the bottom of the imaging screen). When you finish the patient, save the reel into a study.

2. Open the study (leave the scan screen)

1. Tap the Archive tab — the folder icon at the bottom-left — to switch from scanning to your saved studies.
2. Open the archive that holds the study, then tap the study you want to export.

3. Share or download — de-identified

1. With the study open, tap the share icon (a box with an up-arrow) at the top-right.
2. Choose De-identified (no PHI).
3. To save files to your phone, open an individual image or clip and tap Download at the bottom-right: images save as PNG or DICOM, cines as MP4 or DICOM. (You can also copy/share a de-identified link.)

On iOS, the system Share sheet can send the de-identified files straight to the ScanHub by GUSI app.

Bring it into ScanHub

Once your clips and stills are saved to your phone or computer and de-identified, add them to ScanHub one of two ways:

• ScanHub mobile app: open the app, go to My Scans, tap + Create Scan, choose Gallery / Photos (or ScanVault) as the source, select your exported files, choose the study type, add findings, then submit.
• ScanHub web portal: go to scanhub.upscan.com, open Scan Study → Create Scan, drag in your images (JPG/PNG/DICOM) and clips (MP4/DICOM), then complete the interpretation form and submit.

GUSI best practices

• Keep each clip 3–6 seconds for smoother playback and faster mentor review.
• Always export de-identified files (no patient name or details) before uploading.
• Upload a mix of stills and clips, and include the standard views for the scan type.
• Use Wi-Fi for larger cine loops; very large files may fail on cellular.
