Updating and deleting data

Every now and then it is necessary to add or correct patient data or information
relating to the study of a patient (e.g. emergency patient). You use the Patient
Browser to search for the patient in the database and to edit the corresponding
data.
With the DICOM MPPS option the system automatically generates a perfor-
mance report for each examination which you complete and terminate after the
examination and postprocessing.
Once the examination data have been successfully archived and are no longer
needed, you can delete them from the local database.
Please note that when deleting large amounts of data part of the system resourc-
es will be occupied for a while (up to 30 minutes for deleting all data with com-
pletely filled database). During this time the system performance during
examinations with high image storage rates may be restricted.
To avoid interfering with routine clinical procedures, we recommend that
updates, deletion and archiving of data be performed during times when the
mobile C-arm system is not used.

Changing patient or examination data

The described functions for changing patient and examination data are used for
correcting the local database.
You have the following possibilities of changing data:
Correcting data in the Correct dialog box.
Rearranging patient data in the Patient Browser.
