8 Documenting your review
When you review images it can be useful to add notes, drawings, measurements, and codes. These mark-
ups are saved with the image. They can be compared with other images or distributed.
Image mark-up tools can be found on the application toolbar, see Review application user reference on
page 81.
Annotations
Annotations, Measurements and Image Registration are graphical mark-ups on the image. They are
available from the Annotations menu > ... They include:
l
Annotations and Retinal Drawings – shapes drawn directly on to the image to highlight an area.
You might use annotations to circle an abnormality and add a label to suggest what the problem
might be.
l
Measurements – measures distances and areas and marks the result on the image. Measurements
are displayed in pixels.
