This section describes how users would search patients via Medical Record Numbers (MRNs), and search for studies via these patients or known Accession Numbers (ANs)

Search by Medical Record Numbers (MRNs)

If you have a list of MRNs, you can search for studies of the patients with these MRNs.

Initialization

This is a screenshot of the mi2b2 client's Tab 1 at the start.

  1. (Select an Institution) Users must first select an institution and an institution against whose PACS the search will be performed.
  2. (Select a Department) Once an Institution is selected, the department dropdown box becomes active. The default value is "All Departments".
  3. (Clear MRNs in the Text Area) Users can clear the values in the current text box by clicking on this button
  4. (Import MRNs from a File) Users can import MRNs stored in a text file (.txt). The MRNs must be comma- or newline- separated.
  5. (Scout for Patients with the MRNs in the Text Area) Click this button to execute the search. This button is only activated when there are MRNs in the text area, and an institution and a department have been appropriately selected.
  6. (Append or Overwrite the Result Table) Users can designate whether the results of the next "Scout for Patients" action will append to the current result table, or overwrite it.
  7. (MRN Text Area) This is the text area where users can enter MRNs directly.
After Scouting

After scouting has been performed, the results are shown in a table. If "Append" has been selected, the results would be added to the existing table. If "Overwrite" has been selected, the results would overwrite the existing table. Additional buttons are also activated.

  1. (Scout Statistics) mi2b2 client reports how many patients are in the current table. The number of newly patients found in the last scout is listed in parentheses. Statistics of the MRNs submitted in the last search is also reported. Links are provided for MRNs that are duplicates or MRNs that are not found. Users can use the links to examine these MRNs and export them.
  2. (Selection Controls) Users may use "Select All" and "Flip Selection" to select patients listed in the table.
  3. (Toggle Filters) Users can toggle show/hide filter controls. Filter controls allow users to refine the results shown in the table. All filtering actions are performed on the client side exclusively.
  4. (Result Table) Results of the scout is shown in this table. Each row contains a patient. If more than one patient share the same MRN, then these patients show up as a single entry with an expandable button (see the patient with MRN = 4). Users can see all patients by clicking on the expand button. Users can sort by MRNs (cycling through ascending/descending/original order) by clicking on the MRN column header. However, this is the only column users can sort by.
  5. (Export Table Content) Users can export the entire content of the table or the selected rows by using these buttons. The content is exported to a text file (.txt).
  6. (Find Studies for Selected Patients) After selecting patients of the right gender and age, users can click on this button to ask mi2b2 to retrieve a list of studies associate with these patients. This button will transition users to Tab 2.

Search by Accession Numbers (ANs)

If you have a list of ANs, you can search for studies with these ANs.
