Technologist Form

The Technologist Form is an organization-specific form accessed directly from the Image Viewer toolbar. It displays clinical, technical, and procedural information entered by technologists during or after exam acquisition, presented alongside the study to support accurate image interpretation without interrupting the viewing workflow. The form supports documentation, quality tracking, and effective communication across the care team.

  • Technologist Forms are organization-specific and must be created and published by administrators.
  • Forms are configured under Organization Forms as part of the organization setup.
  • If no form is configured or published, the Technologist Form option will not be visible in the Image Viewer toolbar.
