Document scanning tools permit users to attached scanned documents to orders and studies. Scanning requires an optional license. Access is controlled through the scanning permission.
Document scanning requires a TWAIN-compatible document scanner. The scanner’s drivers must be installed according to the scanner’s installation manual. Once the scanner is installed and configured, it becomes available automatically.
The default scanner settings are defined for each workstation. To set them, perform the following on each scanning workstation:
Click the Preferences tab.
Click the Workstation tab.
Click the Set Scan Source link to select the scanner. Windows pops up a source selection window.
Select the scanner from the list and click Select.
From the Workstation page under the Preferences tab, set the scanner’s default settings and scan a test page.
Documents can be scanned as JPEG images or PDF files, depending on the
configuration. Each one has its own scan button, .
To enable or disable one or the other, contact eRAD support. Note that
JPEG format supports a single image per file while PDF supports multiple
pages. If scanning a multi-page document, PDF is recommended.
Scanned documents appear under the Attachments section of the Quick View page, and from the Attachments page. You may need to refresh the web page to see them immediately after scanning.
Some documents scanned by eRAD Scheduler are available in the Attachments page.
Scanned documents can be available in the viewer if the report template includes them. Refer to the eRAD PACS Report Customization Manual for details.
