Reporting Workflow

Review assigned cases and complete reporting with a clear professional workflow.

This guide is focused on the radiologist workflow in Wave Imaging: reviewing assigned cases in the Wave Imaging app, opening the study folder in Google Drive, preparing cross sections and report PDFs outside the app, and confirming final status in the app.

Access

Access requirements

Install the app on your main phone or tablet.
Turn on push notifications from Settings > Push Notifications.
Open My Cases and confirm you can see assigned work.
Confirm that your Google Drive access is active for the case folders shared by the centre team.

The Wave Imaging app is used to review assigned cases and confirm status. Cross sections and report PDFs are prepared in Google Drive, not inside the app.

Case Queue

Review assigned cases in My Cases

View date, patient, doctor, service, priority, and status.
Filter by Pending or Reported.
Filter by date range when checking older work.
Use priority and allotment time to decide the reading order.

Primary queue

My Cases is the working list for assigned reporting work.

Recommended view

Start with Pending and review urgent or older assignments first.

Study Folder

Open the Google Drive study folder

From My Cases, open the Google Drive link provided by the technician.
Review the uploaded image set and related study material.
If cross sections already exist, open them from the same patient folder or approved subfolder.
If a link does not open or access is missing, ask the centre team to verify the saved link and folder sharing.

Radiologists are expected to have prior access to the relevant Google Drive folders used by the centres.

Reporting

Prepare cross sections and report files

Open the case folder in Google Drive.
Create the required cross sections and the final report PDF.
Save the output in the same patient folder or in the approved related folder structure for that patient.
Confirm that the final files are correctly placed and accessible.

No report content is entered in the Wave Imaging app for this workflow. The final deliverables are maintained in Google Drive.

Progress

Mark the case as reported in the app

After the report PDF is ready in Google Drive:

Return to My Cases.
Locate the correct case.
Use the status action to move the case from Pending to Reported.

Mark a case as Reported only after the required report files are available in the correct Drive location.

Handoff
