SmartExam
SmartExam decreases exam time
by 30-50%, keystrokes by as many
as 300 per exam, and results in a high
level of consistency among users.3 It is
fast and easy to customize, providing
consistent annotation, automatic mode
switching, and missed view alerts to
streamline exams.
SmartExam also drives the automation
within Q-Apps, reducing the number
of steps to perform more complex
analysis to a ZeroClick status. The result
is more time to focus on your patients,
increased condence in complete
studies, less focus on requirements,
less repetitive motion, less stress,
and improved schedule maintenance
and department eciencies.
Auto Doppler for vascular imaging
Auto Doppler takes time-consuming
color box positioning and sample
volume placement from ten steps to
three steps and reduces the number
of repetitive button pushes by an
average of 68%.4
Active native data
Active native data allows for post-
processing of many exam parameters
as well as providing the best format
for Q-Apps quantication.
Set-up Wizard
Set-up Wizard allows users to step
up to the system, easily establish user
congurations, and get running quickly.
