How Synapse Defines Prior Studies
Introduction
Synapse uses auto-compare rules to determine if other studies for that patient are potential candidates for comparisons (priors). The rules, which are configurable within User Settings, specify the following:
- The number of candidate studies that are designated as priors determines which reading protocol Synapse uses to display the studies.
- Filtering criteria to determine which studies are candidate comparisons such as the same procedure code.
-
The Auto Compare settings further refine the criteria for priors.
