Performing QA

Once you have your institution's sites, machines, users and test schedules setup you are ready to start entering data. To perform QA click on the Schedules link in the main toolbar at the top of the software. The Perform QA page will open. 

To start a new report or enter data into a report in progress, hover over the desired schedule name and click the Perform QA icon. 

Upon opening the new or in progress report, the data entry page for the report will be displayed:   

DICOM files can now be added in the upload widget provided.

If schedule Instructions have been set up for the current schedule then a button will appear in the upper right of the page to access web pages or documents set as instructions.

Adding DICOM Files

Once the files are opened or dragged in, they will automatically begin to upload. The upload time will depend on your internet connection and file size. 

When the files upload is complete, a button to "Start Processing" will appear. Click to start the processing. At this point the report can be saved if you would like to review the report once processed or simply finalized and reviewed later. To start a new report and upload another data set, the report must be finalized. 

We highly suggest uploading a single series per report but multiple series may be uploaded to a single report if desired. 

The maximum upload size is 1.5 GB. If you need a larger upload limit, please contact support.

When entering data you can save the current entries and return later to finish by clicking the Save QA button.

Reviewing an In-progress Report

Once processing is finished, results can be reviewed. 

Image sets can be removed if the acquisition was not desired or uploaded unintentionally. 

To complete the QA report click the Finalize QA button. No further edits will be allowed after finalizing a QA report. You cannot start a new report for a schedule if any non-finalized report exists.

While performing tests if you want to skip all or part of a test deliberately you can click the NA check box for the test. This indicates that the test was deliberately incomplete and it will not be counted as incomplete on the final report.

When the report is finalized a dialog will appear allowing you to add comments and/or attachments to the overall report. If there are any incomplete tests for the report they will be noted in the dialog. Click on the link to expand the list. Click Finalize QA to proceed and Cancel to go back to the form.
