The Case Editor allows you to enter descriptive data about the case, such as title, patient information, exam date, modalities, and anatomy/pathology categories.

Enter this information on the Case Properties tab, which is the first to load when you launch the editor. You can switch freely betwen the four tabs, entering properties, text, and images in whatever order you like. Be sure to save your changes when you are done.

Most case properties are optional, but some may be required, depending on the policy configured by your system administrator. Required fields are marked with a red asterix (*). You will not be able to save the case until you've assigned values to all required fields.

The following properties are part of the default case template. Some of the default properties shown here may have been disabled by your administrator, in which case they would not appear on your form. Your case template may have additional custom properties that are not listed here.

The title will appear at the top of the case and in the case abstract when training mode is not turned on. It is OK to mention the diagnosis in the title -- you won't be giving away the answer because the title will be hidden when users are viewing the case as an unknown.

Use the radio buttons to specify whether the case should be Private (visible only by you) or Shared.

If you choose to share the case with all users, specify whether you are granting read-only or write permissions. Granting write permissions to all users is not recommended, as it would allow anyone to edit your case.

MyPACS.net does not allow patient identifiers.

You may enter additional information about the case, including the exam date, modalities, pathology, anatomy, keywords, and ACR codes. Your case will be classified according to the values you select using the dropdown menus for pathology and anatomy. The more information you fill out, the easier it will be for users to find your case using the Advanced Search form.
