Using Templates and Macros

Templates and macros help you write reports faster by pre-filling common content.

Templates

When you create a new report, Bormell automatically selects a template based on:

1. Procedure code (primary match)
2. Modality (fallback match)
3. Reporting language (your language preference)

You can also manually choose a template from the Template dropdown in the toolbar.

Merge Fields

Templates can contain merge fields that automatically fill in patient and study data:

• {{PATIENT_NAME}}, {{PATIENT_MRN}}, {{PATIENT_DOB}}
• {{EXAM_DATE}}, {{MODALITY}}, {{ACCESSION_NUMBER}}
• {{STUDY_DESCRIPTION}}, {{REFERRING_PHYSICIAN}}

These are replaced with actual values when the template is applied.

Caution

If any merge fields remain unresolved when you try to sign, you’ll be warned and asked to fill them in manually.

Macros

Macros are text shortcuts you can type directly in the editor.

1. Type / followed by the macro name (e.g., /normal)
2. The macro text expands inline

Macros are filtered by modality and language, so you’ll only see relevant shortcuts. Manage your macros from the Macro Manager panel in the editor sidebar.
