Automatic Protocol Recognition (APR)

Automatic Protocol Recognition (APR) is a feature that will eliminate the protocol selection process and
take you directly to the Acquisition screen for the appropriate exam view after selecting the patient from
the Worklist. This feature is designed to help provide better ease of use.
For APR to function, the system protocol database must have matching values for the Requested
Procedure Code from the selected Exam in the HIS/RIS Worklist. The Acquisition screen will open with the
first view of the first exam selected.
