Some structured report objects acquired from external devices are presented in a common format. One example is CT dose reports. Most structured report objects contain device-specific information requiring device-specific parsing controls. To accommodate these objects, the external report formatting tools allow administrators to define parsing rules that present the information is a human-readable form.
Details on structured report objects and the external report configuration tool are found in the SR Format Configuration Manual.
The external report formatting tool can be found by selecting the Format External Reports link in the System Settings section of the Settings page.
