DIR Exam Detail


The DIR Exam Detail report has been updated to now include projection x-ray exams.  To access this report select the Exam Detail link from the left navigation under the Reports > Static Reports section.  Be sure to select the appropriate modality (CT or Projection X-ray), a Study Date range of interest, and then click the ‘Search’ button.  This will return a list of all exams meeting the designated criteria.  Clicking the ‘Detail’ link next to a particular exam will generate a summary document for that exam.



The basic format of the summary document will be:

  • Header - Facility, scanner/device and physician information

  • Patient - Patient demographic data

  • Radiation Dose – CT or Projection X-ray dose information for the entire exam across all irradiation events

  • Irradiation Event – Detailed event data for each irradiation event.  This section will repeat for each event in the exam.

GRID Modality Procedure Change


The “Fluoroscopy” descriptor for “Modality procedure” in the Grid Radiology Improvement Database (GRID) has been changed to “Interventional or fluoroscopy”, in order to clarify mapping for interventional fluoroscopy procedures.


Note: For more information, please refer to the GRID Data Dictionary and GRID data submission files.


3DP Copy Case Functionality


The 3D Printing registry is introducing a Copy Case functionality. Existing cases of any status (Cancelled, In Progress, or Completed) can be used to create new similar cases. This will be particularly useful if your site frequently performs cases for similar guides/models. The copy case functionality will pre-populate most fields in the image, guide/model, and printer sections from the existing case to a new case. Patient and case-specific fields, such as material totals, effort, and outcomes, will need to be populated for the new case. The Copy Case function can be found on the Search Case screen by selecting the ellipsis (…) at the far right side of the record to be copied.



New NRDR User Role: Clinical Lead


A new user profile, Clinical Lead, may be assigned to NRDR users for one or more registries. This user will be able to access system pages but cannot edit clinical exam data pages.  


This profile was designed to encourage engagement and ownership for the registry at the site level. Targeted NRDR emails to radiologists or other physicians will highlight the importance of the registry clinically and what they can or should be doing with their information, as well as to update them periodically on clinically relevant information.
