Reviewing Heidelberg Images

  • The Heidelberg review software can be used only from within ExamWRITER when a patient’s retinal images were previously captured using ExamWRITER and the Heidelberg Eye Explorer.
  • Both the Heidelberg review software and the Eyefinity Equipment Interface must be installed and set up on all workstations on which you want to review images. In addition, a path to the location where the Heidelberg database is located must be set up. For information on setting up the path to the Heidelberg database in the Eyefinity Equipment Interface, see Setting Up the Heidelberg Interface.
  1. Ensure that ExamWRITER is open.
  2. Create a blank exam, or open a saved exam for a patient whose retinal images you previously captured.
  3. In the ExamWRITER chart window, click the Interfaces icon, and select the Heidelberg review option. If you gave the equipment a nickname in the Eyefinity Equipment Interface Setup window, that name appears in this list.
