Set Up Default Timepoints

The default timepoints that come with your imaging system will likely meet most of your needs. Although you always have the option of creating additional timepoints when importing images, we recommend reviewing the list and deciding ahead of time what timepoints you want to use, and entering them as default timepoints. This will help maintain consistency, and provide for effectively using patient images in your mail merge documents.

How to Get Here

• Home ribbon bar > Editors > Imaging > Default Timepoints. (You can also search for the editor you want to work with.)

   

  1. Click Editors from the Tools section of the Home ribbon bar.

     

  2. Expand the Imaging section, if needed, and choose the Default Time Points option.

Notice!

• Not all my timepoints appear in this list. I have timepoints that I see when I am viewing certain image layouts, but they are not in my Default Timepoints list.

  • Unique timepoints are not added to the list - You can create unique timepoints for individual patients as you import their images. Timepoints created "on the fly" are not added to your Default Timepoints list.

  • Images retain their original timepoint name - When you delete or change the name of a timepoint, it is no longer available for new image imports. However, the original timepoint name remains with existing images.
