Ultrasound reports

Investigation > Ultrasound Reports works the same way, with the ultrasound items of a bill and the ultrasound templates.

Pathology Reports (Old)

Investigation > Pathology Reports (Old) is the old way of reporting the tests of a bill, from before lab orders. It is kept so that earlier reports can still be opened and printed. Its results are flagged the same way. For every new test, use a lab order.
