Delete Exam Records

Note: An exam record is a single item, named by scan type, under OD Scan Group
or OS Scan Group in the central list in the M
AIN WINDOW. An exam record is the
same as a scan group, although an exam may consist of only one scan. The terms
“exam,” “exam record” and “scan group” are used interchangeably.
You can delete one exam record at a time by opening the E
XAM RECORD WINDOW, or you can
delete one or more exam records (scan groups) at once using the Delete Scan Group(s)
option in the Patient menu.
Recommended Method
The simpler and therefore recommended method to delete one or more scan groups is to
use the Delete Scan Group(s) option in the Patient menu. Follow these steps:
1. Select any number of exam records from any visit for the current patient. Hold the Ctrl
k
ey and click (Ctrl-click) to select multiple exams.
2. Select De
lete Scan Group(s) from the Patient menu (click Patient > Delete Scan
Group(s) to delete the selected exams. You must confirm your choice in the dialog box
that appears.
