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.

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.
