Viewing Report Impressions

Introduction

Report Impression is a summary of the diagnosis given by the radiologist, at the end of the full diagnostic report. By hovering over the Reports icon in the Worklist or PowerJacket Impressions column, you can preview the contents of the Report Impression and quickly review the pertinent information of a study without having to open the full report. The Impressions column will only display information if a report exists for the study.

Use this feature in conjunction with the Reason for Exam column contents to gain a quick, high-level understanding of the study.
