About this task

Overview

The ReportCARD 4 application is a reviewing and reporting application for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data, in particular, Cardiac MRI. It provides simultaneous reviewing and report creation of cardiac MR exams with multiple series containing DICOM images. Multi-phase cardiac images are automatically displayed as time-lapse animations with no user interaction.

This tool is capable of automated calculation of all quantitative results derived from user measurements. It also includes automatic body surface area correction for appropriate cardiac analysis. Once the image analysis is completed, the physician can approve the report using the signature feature.

The ReportCARD 4 application is designed to run on the AW4.2P and forward AW platforms only. For more information about installing an advanced application option on the AW, see the current revision of the appropriate AW Service Manual at http://aw-ib.euro.med.ge.com.

Create an AW 'Config' media before and after the application software installation for use as needed throughout this and other AW service activities.

Configuration information can be read on a PC by viewing the config.txt using text readers like WordPad, Internet Explorer or MSWord.

To read a Save Configuration using a CD-ROM: Insert the disk and type the following into a C Shell:

  • mount /mnt/cdrom

  • cd /mnt/cdrom

  • more (“backup directory name”)

  • cd/

  • unmount /mnt/cdrom
