Image Review

We use Qpath, a commercial software program for ultrasound data management. This allows us to perform image review for both training and clinical studies. Staff, fellows, residents, and students receive feedback on image quality, interpretation and clinical implementation on the exams they perform. Clinical images are archived in PACS and clinical reports are archived in the patient's medical chart as billed, formal studies.
