How to use Diagnostic Imaging plugin?

,

Diagnostic Imaging is a WordPress plugin to manage diagnostic imaging and radiology studies. An institute or radiology center can load the studies of its patients, and give the professionals who work with it online access to see, manage and download the results of their patients, from their own offices.

The plugin has three roles:

  • Supervisor: chosen by the institute. Manages patients, professionals and diagnoses, and has access to all the data.
  • Professional: the doctor in charge of the diagnoses of their patients. Sees only their own patients.
  • Patient: the person studied. Patients under age are linked to a parent patient.
Settings

Go to Settings → Diagnostic Imaging. In General Settings you choose:

  • where the image gallery goes in the content,
  • whether to disable the plugin style, to use your own,
  • whether the images can be downloaded, and whether the ZIP file of the images is generated automatically or uploaded by hand,
  • the page of the professionals,
  • the prefix of the patient passwords. The password of a patient account is the prefix plus their ID number (DNI).

In Galleries Settings you can turn the galleries on or off, change the singular and plural names of the diagnoses, change the gallery slug, and change the style of all the galleries.

Note: The diagnoses can only be seen by the patient and by the professional who made the diagnosis, to keep the doctor–patient privacy. Anyone else sees the message “You do not have access to this page.”
