An accession number is an optional entry assigned to each patient file by an
institution for internal information-management purposes.
The exam date is set by the system when you first acquire an image during the
exam.
Entering Patient Data
If you are not using the worklist option, you start an exam by entering patient
data into the system.
NOTE
You can clear all patient data from the Patient Data form by clicking Clear
Patient Data. Do not use this control unless you want to delete all of the
patient data you have entered into the form.
1. Ensure that the previous exam ended by pressing End Exam or by clicking
End Exam on the Patient Data form.
2. Press Patient Data on the control panel or press the Patient Data key.
3. On the Patient Data form, type the patient information. (Press the Tab
key to move the cursor from field to field.)
4. Click the Study Info tab.
5. For Study Type, select the study you will be performing. It is important to
select the correct study type at this time. Selecting a study type after you
have entered patient data and exited the Patient Data form does not update
the report with the correct study type.
6. Enter the pertinent study information for the patient.
7. When you are finished, click Close.
Starting Emergency Studies
In an emergency, you can use the temporary ID feature to start an exam without
first having to enter patient data.
You can create a temporary ID when starting a protocol, printing, acquiring an
image, or saving a volume.
