Clinical Drawer
The Clinical Drawer function allows you to use an anatomy image from our library to draw and annotate on. You also have the option to upload an image yourself to modify for the patient file. This tutorial will go through the various functions of the Clinical Drawer, and how to manage the drawings.
Within the patient record, click on the Clinical tab.
Click on Clinical Drawings
You will be taken to the Clinical Drawings screen for that patient's clinical record.
Checking the box next to a drawing will reveal a list of options. There is also the Filter and Search functions on the right as shown.
