Reviewing the Quality of Images

Use the Image Quality Review feature to review and evaluate images produced by radiology technologists. The feedback you provide regarding the quality of images is useful for measuring and evaluating technologists’ performance. There is no limit to the amount of reviews you can do for an order.

To use this feature, ask your PACS administrator to configure your user account. There may be additional PACS configuration requirements. For more information, contact your PACS administrator.

If you use grouped procedures in your workflow, when you review an image it will be associated with the entire order and, therefore, can be reviewed from any exam in the order.

If you use linked orders in your workflow, once you link the orders, you will not be able to review an image from any exam in the linked orders. You must review an image associated with each individual linked order.

To review the quality of an image:

1. Do one of the following:

   • From the Worklist tab, open a new order. See Opening Orders.
   • From the Search tab, search for and open a study. See About Searching for Studies.

2. In the Patient Record tab, under Image Quality Review, click New.

   A series of options appears.

   

3. Select the options that best represent your evaluation of the images.

   Your administrator configures the Image Quality Review options. The options that are available to you may not be the same as those depicted above.

4. To provide additional information on your selections, enter a comment next to your selections.
5. In Actions Taken, select the check box that best represents the actions you took as a result of the image review.
6. To add general comments regarding the your review, enter additional text in the Comments box.

7. Click Send.

   Once you send your review, you cannot modify it; however you can enter another review by repeating steps 1 to 7. There is no limit to the amount of times you can review images.
