7.4.3. Patient Database

The Patient Database provides a list of recently performed studies. It can be accessed by pressing
the Review hard key on the console when there is no active exam. Figure 7-10 shows an example
screen shot from the Patient Database screen.
Figure 7-10 Patient Database screen
The main part of the display shows a list of studies. Clicking on the header of a field will sort the
list by that field. Fields can be displayed or hidden. If Password Protection is enabled (see section
9.1.5), admin can view and operate all the studies, operators can only view and operate the
studies they created.
Filter:
The database filter field at the top-left of the screen provides a powerful tool to find the study of
interest. It filters the list based on whatever text is typed in this field. The filter applies to all
fields. For example, typing "Ab" into the filter will show exams that either have that text in either
the patient name or in the Exam preset. By default the filter is set to blank, so the default list
shows all exams.
Storage Area:
There is a database storage area field at the top-right of the screen. User can select to review the
studies in local or USB storage, and also can send the studies from local to USB or from USB to
local. Select the required studies and click Send to complete. When sending the studies from USB
to local, only images in DICOM format can be sent.
Storage Size: There is a box displaying current disk usage. It contains text with the current usage
and is filled with a solid color to the extent that the current capacity is used. The text shows
"<current usage> of <total capacity>". The units are "Mb" for values less than 1 Gb, and "Gb"
for anything larger. The solid color fill is green when usage is less than 75% of capacity, yellow
for usage between 75% and 95%, and red when disk usage is above 95%.
