Report

The Report module is for users who want to quickly create a simple report. The Report module supports the extended functions of capture, save, convert, and print reconstructed images from OnDemand3D™. In addition, it lets the user export the created report as an HTML formatted document for viewing on any computer. Images ‘captured’ from other modules with the tool can be accessed here.

Layout

View previously captured images by patient and date on the Report [View] layout

The user will be able to switch between modes using the tab buttons at the top of the screen, shown below.

The user’s history of captured images are saved and stored in the [History] section, through which the user can search by date, patient ID and patient name.

When a folder is selected in the [History] section, the user will be able to see a preview of the images contained in the [Quick View] section as shown. In the [Quick View] sections, users will be able to [Delete], [Save], [Store images as DICOM], and [Insert] selected images into the report. Simply dragging and dropping images into image slots on the report will work too. 

Report

Use the [Report] tab for basic reporting using captured images.

OnDemand3D™ provides the following tools for reports.

Select paper size for the report and the image layout using the and set font size, text styles, and text alignment.

The [Reading] section will be automatically populated with patient information when captured images are inserted into the Report, as can be seen below.
