Doppler reporting software for vascular and obstetric Doppler

Tables built into the template

Doppler reports are mostly numbers. A carotid template can hold a table with rows for the common, internal and external carotid and vertebral arteries on each side, and columns for PSV, EDV and plaque; a venous template can list segments with compressibility and flow. The sonologist fills the cells; the layout stays the same for every patient.

The editor has the formatting radiologists already use in Word: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript and subscript, highlight and text colour, fonts and sizes, headings, bulleted and numbered lists, indent and outdent, alignment, line spacing, tables, symbols (° ± × µ ≥ ≤), images and find. Pasting from an existing Word report keeps its formatting, and patient fields such as {{patient_name}} or {{referring_doctor}} can sit anywhere in a template and fill themselves in.

Templates and service codes

Existing Word formats do not need to be retyped. The hospital administrator selects many .docx files at once and each becomes a template, keeping bold, underline, highlight, colours, bullets, numbering, indents and tables. Each template can then be linked to HIS service codes so the right one opens automatically.

How a study moves through Caresoft RIS

1. Billed in the HIS — the study lands in the RIS worklist with patient, bill and referring doctor filled in. Without an HIS, staff add it in RIS.
2. Template opens — the format linked to that service code opens by itself.
3. Typed and signed — drafts save automatically; the radiologist finalizes and the report locks with their signature, qualification and registration number.
4. Delivered — the patient receives a private link and the PDF on email and WhatsApp; the HIS is told the report is ready.
