Patient registration

Before you can examine a patient with your system, you must
register him or her.
Registration means that you give your system all the informa-
tion about a patient that it requires for an examination.

Unique identification

Patient name, patient ID, date of birth and sex are used for
unique identification of a patient in the databases or of
exported data on devices.
CAUTION
The internal identification of patient data, for example, studies,
series and images, uses the system time for generation of the

✧
zation, wait until the previous clock setting has been
passed before creating new patient data.
