Although TalkStation and IMPAX can be integrated, they are not always synchronized with each other. For example, if you change to a different report in TalkStation, IMPAX does not automatically display the related study images. Similarly, if you have to switch to another patient's studies in IMPAX before completing a TalkStation report, TalkStation saves and closes the current report, but does not automatically load the accession number of the new patient.
When IMPAX and TalkStation are synchronized with one another, a Talk indicator appears on the Dictate Study button. You can synchronize displayed IMPAX studies and TalkStation reports at any time.
