View a summary table

About this task

Use these steps to view a table of the ROI statistics and mirror and distance measurements.

The summary table automatically captures measurements as they are made during a Volume Viewer session. Statistics can be compared over time to a reference date, which can be modified and display the percentage of change on comparison measurements.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open the MR General Review.
  2. Deposit ROIs or mirror or distance measurements on one or multiple images.
  3. From the Export Toolbar, click the Summary table icon to view the Summary Table screen.

    1A group of measurements. The text field is editable. Place the cursor in the text field, highlight the content and type over with new content.
    2Title bar that is only visible if the Summary Table screen is undocked.
    3Index cards that have information about the ROI or measurement.
    • The number of the index card correlates to the measurement annotation on the image.
    • The content in the measurement index card varies based on the series.
    • Click on MR and the cursor associated with the measurement becomes active on the image. If the volume on which the measurement was acquired, is not displayed in any viewport, an error message is displayed in the Message history area.
    • The check box allows you to unflag measurements for screen capture.
    4Comments area allows space for writing comments about the MR case.
    5Message history area.
    • For each compatible measurement performed on a viewport (arrow, report cursor, 2D ROI, 3D ROI, distance, angle, Auto Contour), the Summary Table displays:
      • The volume on which it was performed.
      • The measurement name/label.
      • The statistics computed on the measurement (selectable).
  4. To move the Summary Table screen follow these steps.
    1. Click the Dock/Undock icon located in the upper right corner of the Summary Table.
    2. Click and drag the Summary Table to the desired location.
    3. Click and drag the title bar to expand it and view additional icons.

  5. Click in the comments area at the bottom of the Summary Table screen and type a message.
    • The text in the comment box is saved with the exam.
    • When reloading a saved state series, the comments are restored but they are not editable.
  6. To sort the items in the Summary Table, follow these steps.
    1. From the Summary Table title bar, click the Options icon.
    2. From the options menu, click Sort findings by.
    3. Select Sort by Id to sort the index cards in numerical order.
    4. Select Sort by location to sort the index cards by anatomical location.
    5. Select a sort order: Ascending or Descending.
  7. To select an option that determines if the measurements appear on a screen save, follow these steps.
    1. From the Summary Table title bar, click the arrow Screen capture icon > Measures only option. to display the check box on the index card.
    2. From the Summary Table title bar, click the Options icon.
    3. Flag all measures means that the measurements display on a screen capture.
    4. Unflag all measures means that the measurements do not display on a screen capture.
  8. To select options to save with the Summary Table, follow these steps.
    1. From the Summary Table title bar, click the Options icon.
    2. From the options menus, click Display options.
    3. Select all the desired options to display on the index card.
      • Show/hide slice index which is the series number and slice location.
      • Show/hide RAS coordinates
      • Show/hide difference percent for relative comparison
      • Show/hide absolute comparison (multiple dates only)
      • Show/hide specific dates when multiple dates are displayed in Summary Table columns.
      • Volumes summary: Show/hide specific modality when measurements have been performed on multiple modalities (e.g. show only measurements performed on MR series)
  9. To create a screen capture and save the image as a SSAVE series, follow these steps.
    1. From the Summary Table title bar, click the Screen capture icon.
    2. Select all the desired options.
      • Summary Table only is a screen capture of only the table and not the measurements.
      • Measure only means that only the measurements tagged as flagged are captured.
      • Summary Table and measures results in a mini-report that has the numeric measurement values and the associated image with the plane, FOV, and W/L that were set when the ROI was deposited.
      • To database saves the Measurements and Summary table to the exam. This button is defaulted on and can not be turned off .
  10. To create a Save State of the Summary Table, follow these steps.
    1. From the Summary Table title bar, click the Save State icon.
    2. From the Save State panel, enter a series name and click Save.
  11. To save the Summary Table to a USB device, follow these steps.
    1. Insert a USB device into one of the MR computer USB ports.
