CARAT Versions

The Trial Version of CARAT contains full functionality except for archiving and report generating functions. This basic version is designed to be a stand-alone tool without the need for linkage to a database or other software. If this tool meets your needs but you require archiving capability, we can provide a built-in database for patient recall, analysis and reporting. Of course, CARAT can be fully integrated with the APPROACH software. We would encourage you to contact us if you would like extended use or if archiving and reporting functions are needed.

The ‘File’ Options

The first step in report preparation is to select the type of procedure under 'File' on the menu bar.

Each report type activates slightly different functionality as will become evident in the various tutorials.

Figure 1.

The trial version of CARAT allows you to enter basic patient information (Figure 2), as well as the indication for the procedure (Figure 3).

The patient detail will appear in the report header and the indication will be inserted in the 'Comments' section.

Saving and Printing

The trial version of this software allows you to save the report in pdf format and print.

Previously saved reports cannot be recalled for editing and there are no archiving or reporting capabilities.
