Generate and Print a Report

A Ten Year Fracture Risk Report can only be generated for hip scans. When saved, these reports become part
of the scan data.

To generate a report for a scan that was just analyzed and saved, click

while viewing the Scan

Results. Note that the default report template must be set to Ten Year Fracture Risk Report prior to performing
the scan.

To generate a report for a scan that was previously analyzed and saved:

1. Make sure that the scanned image is being viewed as a thumbnail in the Stamp View or the Filmstrip View.

Click (to highlight) the thumbnail view of the scan.

2. Click Tools > Report > Select Template... or click the

button to open the “Report Con-

figuration” dialog box.
