In which type of workstation can changes not be made to the patient demographics of an image set?

• A. Review workstation
• B. Display workstation
• C. Diagnostic workstation
• D. Archive workstation

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that editing patient demographics is a data-management privilege controlled by how a workstation is used in a radiology workflow. A review workstation is designed for clinicians to view and interpret studies and to add notes or annotations, but it does not allow changes to the patient’s demographic information in the image set. This preserves the integrity and consistency of patient data across systems, since demographic edits should be made only through the hospital information system or the modality’s patient-management workflow, not at a review screen.

Other workstations are primarily intended for viewing or archival purposes, or for diagnostic interpretation, but the key point is that the review workstation is the one explicitly positioned as a read-only environment for patient data, avoiding any edits to demographics.
