Compare Prior Patient Images OptosAdvance

OptosAdvance will automatically compare the most recent studies and the first prior study by selecting the correct stage of the Hanging Protocols. A full help file can be found within your OptosAdvance instance.  

Viewing prior studies

If there are prior studies for the patient, you can compare today’s images with the first prior image set side-by-side by doing one of the following:

1. Clicking the Next button on the toolbar within OptosAdvance
2. Pressing the next arrow on your keyboard
3. Manually selecting the stage by clicking the Hanging Protocols icon and choosing stage
   • Prior stage is marked by an asterisk (*)

   

Changing the prior image

If you want to change the image in a viewport to a different prior image, follow the steps below:

1. Click on the All icon in the top right of the screen
2. Drag, and drop the desired image from an alternate date of service into the desired viewport
   Note: A timeline with all prior dates of service should also be visible at the top of your screen from which you may also drag and drop. Once you drag the date into the viewport, the left-hand series of image thumbnails reflect that date of service. Drag and drop the desired image into the viewport. Click on OD or OS from the toolbar to display correct image laterality.

   

    

Comparing more than two visits

1. Change the Study Layout on the toolbar to the number of images you want to view. Click on the arrow beside Study Layout to view the choices available. For example, if you would like to see three images on the screen, change the study layout to 1x3.
   
   
2. Click the All icon at the top right of the screen to display the Extended Patient Timeline.
3. Drag and drop any of the thumbnail images to one of the viewports
