How to Export Scans from the Butterfly iQ3
Uploaded by: Marcus Wong · Last updated: June 8, 2026
The Butterfly iQ3 runs the same Butterfly iQ app as every Butterfly probe, so the workflow is identical: capture on the live imaging screen, then share or download from the Archive.
1. Capture images and clips (on the live imaging screen)
- Tap the snowflake icon to freeze, then the camera icon to save a still.
- Tap the video-camera icon to record a clip; tap the red square to stop (stop early to keep clips around 3–6 s).
- Captures collect in the Capture Reel at the bottom of the imaging screen; save them into a study when you finish the patient.
2. Open the study
- Tap the Archive tab (folder icon, bottom-left) to leave the scan screen.
- Open the relevant archive and tap the study you want.
3. Share or download — de-identified
- With the study open, tap the share icon (box with an up-arrow) at the top-right.
- Choose De-identified (no PHI).
- Open an image or clip and tap Download (bottom-right): images as PNG/DICOM, cines as MP4/DICOM — or copy/share a de-identified link.
On iOS, the system Share sheet can send 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.
