Some images do not have meta data (such as those captured directly from a video feed). In either case you may edit this data, as the original meta data is stored in the image. - Raw Image Tags: these fields cannot be edited, and are the meta data taken directly from the image file stored on the server. - Linked Record: this page shows summary data from the clinical record to which the image is linked, and a button to open that clinical record.
