Once logged into the system, some key notes.

  • User can filter by entering specific information to locate the patient in the database. Anything on the top row has filters.
  • This icon will display the report.
  • If you double click on the patient, the referrer will be able to view the patient images.
  • To keep the system running faster, data shows the first 30 days of patient data. To display patients dated later than 30 days. Select Full Scan and select Refresh located at the bottom of the screen. It’s best to place a filter prior to running full scan, so the system doesn’t bring every single patient up creating a slow response time.

The P icon, if highlighted, indicates that the patient has had a prior exam. The other exam will display towards the bottom of the screen to easily locate the exam.

The K icon, if highlighted, indicates that the Radiologist has indicated a key image.
