Chapter 7-Review and Filming Functions
OS4-86717v3
This chapter describes the Oasis MR System functions that allow images to
be reviewed and printed after scanning functions have been completed. The
following windows are described:
• Review Task window, where images that were created during scanning and
post processing are displayed and manipulated.
• F ilming Tool and F ilmReview Window, where images are selected and sent
to a laser printer.

Review Task Window
Definition: A viewport is an area of the window in which an image can be viewed.

The Review Task window allows images that were created during scanning and
post processing to be d isplayed and manipulated. Filming tasks can also be
performed in this window. Figure 7-1 shows a Review Task window with
Note: For more detailed information about using the Input Series area, refer to the "Input Series Area (Source Box)" section of Chapter 5, ''Exam Window Scanning Functions.

Review and Filming Functions 0 Loading Images Into the Review Task Window
The Input Series area, shown in figure 7-6, is used to load images into the
Review Task window. To load images into the Review Task window, proceed
as follows:
Figure 7-6. The Input Series area.
I. Click Load in the Input Series area. The Series Selector window opens
display ing a list of series as shown in figure 7-7.
If the Review Task window was accessed us ing the Review Task Launcher
button on the Launcher tool bar, you wi ll first need to select a patient by
double-clicking the desired patient record in the Series Selector window.
With the patient now selected, the Series Selector window displays a list of
series as shown in figu re 7-7.
lfthe Review Task window was accessed from within an Exam window,
the patient :fi·om that exam will automatically be selected.

2. Select the series you want to display. To select a single series, double-click
the series. To select multiple series, hold down CTRL, click each desired
series, and then click OK. The Series Selector window closes.
The series name(s) you selected are added to the Source box in the Input
Series area of the Review Task window. The images from the series are
loaded into the viewports.
To view details of a series displayed in the Source box, click the series in
the Source box and click Details. To remove a series from the Source box,
click the series in the Source box and click Release. To remove all series
from the Source box (and viewports), click Release All.
If a Review Task was accessed from within the Exam window, images can also
be loaded using the following alternative procedure:
I. In the Series area of the Exam window, select one or more series that you
want to display for the Review Task. To select mu ltip le series, hold down
CTRL and c lick each desired series.
2. Using the mouse, drag the series to the Source box in the Input Series area. The
series can also be dragged directly into the viewpott.
The selected series name(s) are listed in the Source box and the images
from the series are loaded into the viewpotts, as shown in figure 7-8.
Figure 7-8. Loading images using the alternative procedure.
Review and Filming Functions 0 When images from a single exam are loaded into a Review Task window, the corresponding patient's name and ID number are displayed on the Exam window tab (figure 7-9). For multiple patients, the patient names and IDs will be added to the title bar of the window and viewports will be added in the same order in which the series are selected and loaded (figure 7-9).

Note: If multiple series are displayed in a Review Task window, each viewport will have the arrow button in the upperrightcorne~ If only one series is displayed, the button will be found in the upper right corner of the upper right viewport.
Viewport Menu
Clicking the arrow button in the upper right corner of a selected viewport
displays the viewport menu. This menu provides the commands described
below. When applicable, the corresponding toolbar buttons for the commands
are shown.
F ilming Window- Opens the FilmReview Window, where filming for the
series is performed. The FilmReview Window and its functions are described in
detail in the "Filming Windows" section of this chapter.
Maximize I Restore Image-A toggle feature that en larges an image to fill the
entire screen, as shown in figure 7-10, or restores the image to its original size.
Clicking Maximize / Restore Image maximizes the image to fil l the entire
screen. A check mark next to the command indicates its selection. C licking
Maximize I Restore Image again restores the image to its original size and
removes the check mark.

Save Task- Opens the L ibraryValidateDia log window, where an original task can be overwritten with a changed task after task-parameter details have been
changed. This window is described in detail in the "Protocol Properties Area"
section of Chapter 5, "Exam Window Scanning Functions."

Patient and Study
Toggles the display of patient and study information directly above the menus
at the top of the Exam window (figure 7-16). The patient information consists
of sex, age, weight, and anatomical region. The study information consists of
laterality and orientation. When Patient and Study is clicked on the View menu, the information is displayed and a check mark appears on the left side of
the Patient and Study command. Clicking Patient and Study a second time
hides the information and removes the check mark.
Clicking the Correct Patient button displays the Correct Patient window
(figure 4-19), which allows changes to be made to the displayed patient
information. Moving the mouse pointer over the Correct Patient button turns the

• WW:Mean WL:Mean/2 - WW changes to the average for the selected ROI;
WL changes to the average divided by 2.
• WW:Mean*2 WL:Mean- WW changes to the average multiplied by 2; WL
changes to the average for the selected ROI.
The following example shows calculations for the various WW /WL Jump
settings.
Example: An image started with a WW setting of 1 000 and WL setting of 500.
An ROI was added and selected. The various WW/ WL Jump settings would be:
• WW:Keeping- 1000 WL:Mean- 321

The numbers displayed on the screen next to the line are space coordinates for
the starting and ending points of the line segment. They represent distance (in millimeters) fi·om isocenter in the left/right, anterior/posterior, and head/foot
axes. For example, figure 7-80 shows a starting point with space coordinates of
L: -8.9, P: 15.9, H: -74.8. This coordinate specifies that the starting point is 8.9
mm left of isocenter, 15.9 millimeters to the posterior side of isocenter, and 74.8

Color ROI- The Color ROIIist allows free-shape, elliptical, or rectangular
ROis (regions of interest) to be drawn on the selected image. The Color ROI
also displays the signal intensity ratio. Set the Color ROI on the tissue of interest
(where you want to display the signal intensity rati o).
Click the Color ROI arrow and select the desired ROI shape (Free Shape,
E llipse, or Rectangle). With the shape selected, the mouse pointer in the
selected image is replaced by a pencil (F •·ee Shape) or a plus symbol (Ellipse
and Rectangle). Drag the pointer in the active viewpott to initially position and
size t he ROI. The "Col" label is automatically added to the ROI to distinguish it
as the Color ROI.
Reference ROI- The Reference ROI list allows free-shape, e lliptical, or
rectangular ROis (regions of interest) to be drawn on the selected image. The
Reference ROI allows you to select reference tissll.le to be used as a standard.
Set the Reference ROl on healthy or reference tissue to establish a standard.
Click the Reference ROI arrow and select the desired ROI shape (Free Shape,
E llipse, or Rectangle). With the shape selected, the mouse pointer in the
selected image is replaced by a pencil (Free Shape) or a plus symbol (Ellipse

size t he ROI. The "Ref' label is automatically added to the ROI to distinguish it
as the Reference ROI.
LUT Selection-Allows the selection of a LUT (look up table). The color
display is performed according to the LUT selected from this list.
Note: Because the image saved using the Save button is a secondary capture image, no properties of the scan, such as slice number or echo time, are available for storage to media or for DICOM transfer. Refer to the origina! image if you wish to confirm scan properties.
