Open Multiple Studies Simultaneously

 

This may be useful for a radiologist reporting several heavy studies, for study comparison or to allow faster reporting by reporting studies in batches.

 

There are several ways a user may open multiple studies:

 

1. Open studies in current browser tab:

Select at most 4 studies from study manager (eg. using Ctrl or Shift keys), then click "View"  button at the top left. This will open the selected studies simultenously in main Radweb tab.

 

 

The toolbar is common to all studies. Select a box/study by clicking on it. Toolbar actions will apply to the selected study.

 

2. Open the study/studies in a new tab: 

Select 1- 4 studies (eg. using Ctrl or Shift buttons), then click "View new tab"  button. The selected studies will open in a new browser tab. You should probably keep the initial mother tab open to maintain access to other pages e.g Study manager and Reports list.


 

 

Radiologist may then start reporting the first study as Radweb downloads the other studies in the background.

 

To post a report for a study in Multi-study view mode, click in the viewing box that contains the study of interest to select it, then proceed to click the report button. In this manner, a radiologist may open up to 4 light studies e.g X-ray and report each of the 4 before going back to Study manager or next tab for the next batch of studies.

 

Note that the reporting window title (see red mark below) shows details of the study to which current report belongs.

 

 

When opening large studies, e.g CT, MRI, X-Ray Angio, Breast Tomosynthesis, Echo/US clips, it is recommended to keep the number of concurrent open studies to a minimum, probably not more than 2. Only users with enough resources (including RAM) should open more than 2 large studies simultenously.

 

It is also possible to easily find and open prior studies in same viewer space as the current study for comparison. See section on prior studies for details.
