Study status color coding

  3. Reviewed (Optional): The reading physician has approved the study, and a report has been generated, but it has not been assigned to the referring physician.  This status allows for another user to view the report before it is sent to the referring physician or other final destination, or a second physician to verify the study before the report is finalized. NOTE: This status is optional and might not be applicable in your implementation of the Studycast system.
  4. Final: The study has been approved by the reading physician, and the final report has been generated.
