To append images and clips to a patient
exam
Although you cannot add images and clips to a
patient exam that is ended, you can automatically
start a new patient exam that has the same patient
information. Depending on your archiver, the two
exams appear as one study when exported or
archived.
1 Select the exam in the patient list.
2 Select Append on-screen.
A new patient information form appears. The
form has the same information as the exam you
selected.

clips are captured:
•With Pro, a clip is captured

•With Retro, a clip is captured
retrospectively, from
pre-saved data before you
press the
CLIP key.
