Edit Patient Information
Edit Patient allows you to edit certain patient information once the exam has been completed.
You can only edit exams that were created on your system.
You cannot access Edit Patient if the exam you want to edit is currently in use. An exam is
currently in use if the Patient Session tab, Network Send, Archive Save, 3D, Reformat,
Navigator or Image Viewer is active. If you try to use Edit Patient when an exam is currently in
use, which means the exam is on the archive or network queue, an error message displays.
•
Use Edit Patient during idle times in network receive, active recon, or archive restore. The
system may hang if Edit Patient is started while the following operations are in progress:
○
Network Receive
○
Prospective or Retrospective reconstruction
○ Archive Restore
•
You cannot edit contrast or patient weight.
•
Edit Patient will not update scan data files or completed patient information.
• Check that additional series or images are not in the recycle bin. Move any series or images
in the recycle bin back to the local disk or empty them from the bin.
• If you edit an exam that has a saved 3D model, the 3D model is deleted from the exam. If
you edit an exam and you have the 3D model selected when you select Edit Patient, you will
not be able to edit the exam.
•
There must be sufficient disk space available.
• All images should be reconstructed before editing. Scan data cannot be edited, only images.
All remove images and post-processing (screen saves, reformat, 3D surface) should be
done after editing. All images created before the edit do not contain the edited information.
•
Any DICOM secondary screen captures such as text pages, screen saved image,
SmartPrep, ECG Trace screen saves and DICOM SR Dose Report will be deleted from the
exam with Edit Patient Data.
