Chapter 3 - Setting Up Patient Information Adding a New Patient
Terason t3000 / Echo Ultrasound System User Guide 58
system saves unassociated scans in the Terason Explorer Image directory. You can enter
patient information after starting such an exam (by clicking the Patient Info tab), and
saved images will then be associated with the patient info file. You can also enter the
patient info later, after opening the saved image. When you save the image again, a copy is
associated with the patient info file. This only works with .ult-format images.
When you add a new patient, the Terason software creates a folder in the Patient folder
with the patient’s name. In that folder, the Terason software stores the Patient Info file and
all saved scans for that patient.
Patient Info File in the Terason Explorer Window
The folder in the Patient list for John Adams contains the Patient Info file and two dated
folders, each containing one or more scans that were saved on the indicated date. Starting
an exam after creating or opening a patient info file creates a new date folder and a report
file. The report file and any saved images are saved in the date folder.
The Terason software uses the Image folder to store all images that were saved without
entering patient information. Each folder in the Image folder contains all images that were
saved without patient information on the indicated date.
When you enter a patient name, the total number of characters of the first, last, and middle
name is limited to 64 characters. You can type up to 64 alphanumeric or special characters
in any one of these fields (not all special characters are supported). However, if the total of
the three fields exceeds 64 characters, the Terason software displays an error message
when you try to save the patient information.
To add a new patient, complete these steps:
1. Click the Patient Info tab.
2. Click
New Patient
.
Caution: Do not save scans of two different patients without patient info on the
same day. That makes scans for both patients in that day’s directory, with
no indication of which scan is of which patient.
