EXPLANATION ON HOW TO LOCATE A PARTICULAR NORMAL
Please find below our explanation on how to locate a particular normal when you get a “Findings
Only” dictation and the normal is not auto-populated in the file.
1. Check the PROCEDUREDESCRIPTION and SITENAME fields.
2. Using these 2 criteria, locate the normal in the excel sheet (ACUSIS
FRG_Normal_Template List.xls).
3. If you have a specific normal for that procedure description pertaining to that site, it
would be indicated in the cell as 1.
4. If the particular normal is not available, the cell would be empty. In this case, you have
to use the normal corresponding to the union site for that procedure.
Please go through the below examples for more clarity. Try to locate them in the normals excel
sheet.
Example 1:
Template
Site
: CT AP WITHOUT
: UNION
Use this normal CT AP WITHOUT.txt
Example 2:
Template
Site
: CT AP WITHOUT
: BMHS
Use this normal CT AP WITHOUT.txt only since there is no specific normal for CT AP WITHOUT
for BMHS. Please do not consider this instance as normal not available, since the cell is empty. If
the cell is empty, it means that we have to use UNION’s normal for that particular procedure.
Example 3:
Template
Site
: US Abdomen RUQ
: WAYNE
Use this normal WAYNE_US Abdomen RUQ.txt.
Example 4:
Template
Site
: US Abdomen RUQ
: UNION
Use this normal UNION_US Abdomen RUQ.txt.
