Report a film-based study


 

When an exam in the PACS contains images, the user displays them in the viewer and creates a report. When no electronic images exist, the user cannot use the viewer to create the report. For this situation, studies in the Completed state have access to the report page so a user can either dictate or type a report using the browser.

 

The RIS or manually created order must exist on the worklist. The report page is accessible when the order status set to Completed by the RIS or by a user. When in this state, click the worklist entry status value to get to the report page. Depending on your account privileges, the report page may have a dictate and edit button. To edit or dictate a report, you must have installed the viewer and it must be running in standby mode.

 

Select the dictate button to pop up a dictation window. Use your microphone to dictate your report. Set the study state to Dictated and send the report.

 

Select the edit button to get to the report edit page, where you can type a report and set the study state. Click save to keep the report text.
