biodex ATOMLAB 960 - Add Another Study for Worklist Patient

10-16 DICOM (OPTIONAL) Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. © 2014
Will it create a new patient each time we download from Worklist?
No. Same patient can be downloaded several times. However, Patient information will be added
once to the Atomlab 960 database. Once it’s added, even with the multiple download from
Worklist, it will not create a new entry for the same patient each time.
Deleting a patient from the Atomlab 960 software will delete Dicom
patient?
No. If any patient is deleted from the Atomlab 960 software, it will only delete the information
from the Atomlab database and NOT from DICOM system. Once the patient is deleted from the
Atomlab 960 software, it will delete all the associated study/test results of that patient in the
Atomlab system.
How to add another Study for the same (Worklist) Patient
If it is needed to add another study for the same patient downloaded from Worklist to Atomlab
960, follow the steps shown below. This is the same procedure used previously to add a
patient from the Worklist.
Steps:
1. Atomlab 960 <Home screen>, <Testing>, <Thyroid Uptake>
2. Select <Add From Worklist> button. It will bring up the Worklist Patient Search screen.
3. From the Worklist Patient Search screen, select the <Search> button to search the same
patient from the Worklist.
4. Select that Patient and select the <Accept> button.
5. Then Atomlab 960 software will provide the option for the New study. Select the
appropriate study. Select the <Accept> button.
6. Once the study is created and saved to the Atomlab 960 Software database, a message will
pop-up to notify the user. Select the <Accept> button.
7. This will bring the user back to the Select or Add Patient screen. Select the Patient and
select the <Next> button.
8. The Study Selection screen will appear with the new study along with any previous study.
NOTE: The study that was created to upload to DICOM, can be identified under the column
heading “From DICOM” of the patient list. Those study/ studies only can be uploaded/ sent to
the DICOM system. Any study created with “Add Study” button from the Study Selection screen
will not allow sending it to DICOM. To send/ upload to the DICOM system, follow the procedure
mentioned in the “Send Uptake Report to Storage Server” section of this document.
