Advanced Level Hanging Protocols (ALHP) for Merge's RadSuite Solution

This advanced level, in-depth course will enable PACS Administrators (Merge System Administrators) and/or Radiologists to take hanging protocols to the next level. This course begins with building CR hanging protocols both with and without priors. The course then proceeds to a middle level of complexity by building a variety of CT hanging protocols. MRI hanging protocols will make up the most complex phase of the course. A final part of the course will include attendees bringing hanging protocols to the class that they have been unsuccessful at building at their own sites.

This class will also include information on how optimizing the RadSuite application, creating hot keys for commonly accessed functions, removing icon tools not needed from the display viewport, adding desired tool icons, taking advantage of less known shortcuts, and other tips on reducing the number of steps required to read a study.
