Clone a Study
A clone is similar to a copy of a study, with several key differences. When a study is cloned, the clone appears as a separate study on the Studies page with its own worksheet and report, once one is generated, along with the original study's images. When creating a clone, you can choose which study data is included. The clone is not counted toward your monthly study volume total.
Cloned studies can be useful for:
•Peer review
•Quality assurance/quality control programs
•Oversight of residency programs
•Training new technologists on facility protocols and expectations
•Accreditation/re-accreditation
Only users with the clone study permission can clone a study. By default, administrative users have this permission.
Cloning a study
To clone a study:
1.On the Studies page, click the check box next to the study you want to clone.
Note: To clone a study, you must start with an original uploaded study. A clone cannot be cloned. |
2.Click the down arrow at the top of the check box column.
3.In the menu that opens, select Clone.
4.In the Clone Study window, select the items from the original study that you would like to include in the clone.
5.Assign the clone to a reading group and reading user. If you choose multiple reading groups or reading users, a separate clone will be created for each. If the reading group has notifications set up, a notification will be sent for each clone.
6.Click the Clone button.
The cloned study is now available on the Studies page and includes only the items you selected, along with the study's images and cine loops. You can view the images and document findings for the clone the same way you would for any other study.
Note: By default, notifications are not sent when a clone's status is set to Final. To enable these notifications for clones, contact Studycast Support. |
Searching for Clones on the Studies Page
By default, the Studies page displays all studies, including clones. To limit the list of studies:

2.Then, choose an option:
•Hide: Shows all studies that are NOT clones
•Show: Shows ONLY clones
•Show + their originals: Shows clones and the original studies from which they were cloned. Does not show studies that have not been cloned.
3.Click the Search button. The Studies page now lists only the studies that meet your search criteria.
