Part 2: Description
Scanning and Processing
To scan a case, you must first create a stack of films. The case at the top of the stack is
scanned first. You select a scanning protocol based on the type of cases you will be
scanning (see ‘
3.1. Working with Films ’ for more information).
To scan films you simply:
•
Arrange the films with a separator sheet on top of each case.
•
Organize films and separator sheets in a stack.
•
Place the stack in the film input tray.
•
Touch the
Start
button.
The scanner picks up the first separator sheet followed by the first film in the stack. A
new study icon appears at the top of the list, and a white circle on the icon flashes to
indicate that the system is scanning or processing the films. Each separator sheet
includes a barcode that the system uses to organize the results. When the system scans
the barcode on the separator sheet, the barcode number appears on the Studies screen
as the ‘R2 ID’. As the films are scanned, the system displays thumbnail images, the
patient flash, and any patient information linked to the R2 ID.
When the system finishes processing the case, the Status field changes to ‘Completed’.
A white arrow on the study icon flashes to indicate that the system is sending study
results to the display unit, PACS/workstation, or printer on your network.
Note: Before the study results are sent to the display or archive device, you may be
required to ‘verify’ that the system scanned the films correctly. This option is configured
on the Controls Connectivity screen. For more information, see ‘
5.2. Connectivity
Options ’.
The appearance of the study icon indicates the status of the case:
