After you finish your plan you can create a report that will contain every measurement, procedure and templates as well as pre and post-operative screenshots. When you click “Report”, a new window will come up. The software will automatically fill the hospital name, surgeon name and patient data fields, if this information is available. You can complement the report’s information by introducing additional comments.
Note: Save planning is not the same as generating the report. If you wish to save all the planning, to use in the future, for example, please use the option Save plan. If you only want the final report (typically in pdf) you should use the Report option.
The software will automatically attach pre and post-operative screenshots of the planning, and any additional ones you may have taken with the Snapshot feature.
This final report may be previewed, saved as PDF, printed or sent to a pre-configured PACS.
Send to PACS
When you select the option to send to PACS a new windows comes up allowing you to select the PACS station and choose what to send. You can send the Report, Pre-planning screenshot, Post-planning screenshot and the Original medical image. You can choose which options are available in this window on Settings.
The "Set as post-operative evaluation" checkbox and the "Folder path" dropdown relates to the automatic exportation of the pre or post-operative values in a CSV file. You can find more information on the Export CSV file automatically section.
Note: The "Folder path" dropdown menu is only available when "Do not group within a folder" is disabled in the "Implant Register Export" section in Settings.
After selecting what to send to the PACS station and clicking send, there will be a loading bar displaying the uploading progress.
Note: The "Send to PACS" button will become unavailable in the following situations:
- The image is anonymized;
- The original image is a conventional image;
- The image doesn't contain values for Patient Name, Patient ID, Hospital name and/or Admission ID.
You can also choose the default modality (DOC or OT) in which the Report is sent back to the PACS. More information in the Settings section.
Save DICOM
This option is only available if you have enabled "Save DICOM files automatically" in Settings.
When you select this option, PeekMed will save to the predefined folder the post planning screenshot as well as what you select in the "Include in Send to PACS information and Export DICOM files", all in the format .dcm.
