What you enter in the ‘Additional Identifier’ field is entirely up to you but we suggest that it reflect the location of the CT Scanner, e.g. ‘Emergency CT’, ‘Room 1’ or ‘2nd Floor, East Wing’, etc.
Please note that the ‘Additional Identifier’ field is mandatory even if your facility only has one CT Scanner.
