Technologist

Summary

This enhancement introduces the ability to automatically display a prompt to start the contrast timer feature when the contrast injection is signed for specified procedure types.

With Feature #29788, checking the Injection signed checkbox from the Perform Exam or View/Edit window will display the Start Contrast Timer dialog for configured procedures. The contrast duration defaults to the duration of the procedure, but is adjustable in the dialog.

Once the timer is started and Perform Exam window is saved, the Technologist WL is updated, and the Contrast Timer column will display the duration and count down as the minutes pass.

With Feature #28396, the ProcedureCode lookup table now includes a new auto_start_contrast_timer_flag column that can be set to Y or N, to enable this automatic prompt for specific studies.
