Creating Performing Users

Updated

Performing User on Studycast

The Performing User can auto-populate on Studycast based on information coming over from an imaging device.  It is recommended that a Sonographer or Technologist use their initials as a Code to allow their name to populate on Studycast.

Performing User on Imaging Devices

For some devices a user has to create a Profile and log into the device with the Profile for the User Information to send with the exams.  Other ultrasound machines allow the user to enter a name manually.  A good indicator if a user can enter their information is if there is a Dropdown arrow next to the field for the Operator on the machine.

GE Systems

For GE Systems the Operator field is what provides the name of the tech performing the exam.  This is a dropdown field on the ultrasound machine.  Please note the below instructions are general instructions and may be different depending on the GE ultrasound machine the client is using.

Add a User

  1. Login with the Admin account on the ultrasound machine into the ultrasound machine
  2. Select [Utility/Config] → [Admin] → [Users]
