For users with report editing privileges, the Edit button on the top right of the Report page is enabled. Click the Edit button to go to the report editing page.
The Report Editor displays an XML template. Since templates may differ, some features may appear differently or not exist at all. The report editor displays the patient and study demographics at the top, followed by the report details such as the report creator and report date, and finally the editable report content. If addendums exist, they are available by selecting the appropriate tab. The editable fields on the page consist of the study status, birad value, report author and date, the report normality flag, study notes, and the report content. The report content area is one or two expanding rich-text fields. The rich text features include font type, size and color, bold, italics, underline, bulleted and numbered lists, and tables.
The tabs in the report editor perform certain actions on the report:
Note: Approved studies in the Final state cannot be modified. To amend an approved report, add an addendum. An addendum section appears as a new tab or at the bottom of the report edit panel, depending on the report template.
Some servers may be configured to use the PACS viewer’s report panel for editing the report. This panel uses the same XML report, and includes some tools the browser report editor does not support, including spell checking, canned reports and foot pedal controls. If using the viewer’s report panel for editing, refer to the PACS Viewer Manual for information.
