Sending a Key Image to a Report

Introduction

Use the Send to Report option to send one or more images from the Viewer to an open report. You can select a single, focused image or multiple images from the current study. Annotations and measurements made in the Viewer are included in the report.

  • If an Advanced Reporting (AR) study contains US or XA images, the images are sent to the Clinical Images tab of an open Advanced Reporting (AR) report. This option requires the Advanced Reporting privilege. If configured, the images can also be sent to an open PowerScribe report at the same time.
  • If a study contains CT, MR, or PT images, the images are sent to an open PowerScribe report.
