Dynamic Reading Protocols Overview

Introduction

Dynamic reading protocols are user specific and allow you to change your dynamic reading protocols to best suit your needs. See Configuring Dynamic Layout.

Synapse supports two dynamic reading protocol options for stress echo procedures:

  • Dynamic US - Group by Stage
  • Dynamic US - Group by View

Another advantage of dynamic reading protocols is viewing mixed modalities for current and priors for which a reading protocol does not exist. For example, if you have a CR study as the current and a CT study as a prior, using dynamic reading protocols allows Synapse to display the current in a 1x1 page layout and the priors in a 2x2 page layout:

Monitor 1

Monitor 2

CR Current

 CT Prior

CT Prior

CT Prior

CT Prior

Dynamic Reading Protocol Options

You can change the following options for a dynamic reading protocol:

  • Apply Tools to
  • Text overlays
  • View content
  • Tile format
  • Group By (For Stress Echo only)
  • Page layout
  • Comparison arrangement

Synapse generates the name of the dynamic reading protocol in the Reading Protocols drop-down list, located in the Viewer toolbar, with the following information:

Dynamic > Current modality > Prior modality

For example, if the current is a CT and the prior is a CR and MR, Synapse displays Dynamic CT, CR, and MR in the Reading Protocols drop-down list.

Note:

If you want to revert to your factory default dynamic reading protocols, contact your System Administrator.
