A review workstation is typically used for viewing studies without modifying patient demographics.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Only for selected studies

Answer: (A)

Review workstations are built for viewing and interpreting imaging studies, along with comparing prior exams and using tools like window/level, measurements, and annotations. They are typically configured so that patient demographics cannot be edited, preserving the integrity of the patient record. Changing identifiers on a review station could misidentify patients and disrupt audit trails, which is why any correction to demographic data should be done in the official clinical systems (RIS/HIS/PACS) with proper authorization. This safeguarding of data integrity and workflow accuracy is why the statement is true.
