System Configuration
The Kodak DirectView CR System is highly configurable and integrates well
into the digital radiology department. You can configure, save, and restore
many attributes of the CR System for your operation and optimize workflow:
• Restore Configuration— Once configured, you can save the settings for
backup or transfer them to another CR System.
• Option Registration — Install optional features easily.
• Workflow Optimization — Defining lists optimizes workflow by
reducing the amount of time it takes to create an exam and eliminating
typographical errors. There are lists for Departments, which can be used
to help deliver images to the correct locations, Physicians, and
Procedures. Workflow Optimization lets you map images to procedures,
that is, when you select a procedure from the list, or the RIS feeds the CR
System a Procedure Code, all the image icons are built automatically. You
can construct Trauma defaults for up to 35 patients.
• HIS/RIS Broker Configuration— Lets the CR System communicate with
your RIS, displaying the patient worklist. You can also query the RIS for
individual patients.
• CR Display Configuration— Lets you define default query criteria and
how query results are displayed. You can disable the Right, Left, and Erect
Arrow markers here.
• Profile Destination Configuration— Lets you tell the CR System where
to deliver images. You can deliver based on body part, projection, cassette
size, or department. This saves time by automatically delivering the images
where you want.
• Text Box Configuration— You can define which information appears on
the film, allowing you to see only the information that is important to you.
• Delivery Preferences — Lets you set CT Pixel spacing so that
measurements on workstations can be displayed in pixels or in mm. You
also set the name and address of your hospital here.
• External Devices — Lets you add ROPs, RPDES terminals, or a remote
Key Operator PC to your system.
• Bar Code Configuration — Lets you program the bar code scanner to
automatically recognize Tech IDs, Accession Numbers, Patient IDs, or
Cassette IDs, populating these fields with the information without the
technologist having to highlight them manually.
• Color Preferences — Lets you customize the colors on your system.
• Required Fields — Lets you determine which fields are required before
an exam is submitted or delivered. If you are using Reject Reasons, you
may want to make Tech ID a required field.
