                With these three report options, plus the new Quick Com-

                parison feature, you have a great deal of flexibility in viewing
                or printing reports.




                 Understanding the Use of the Comparison Feature



                When you print or view a comparison report, at the bottom

                of the third page will be a text report comparing the current

                exam to a previous exam. The current exam will be repre-
                sented by the graph at the top of the page and the previous

                exam at the bottom.



                The software automatically calculates areas of improvement

                or regression and displays the results in the table at the bot-

                tom of the report page. At the end of the table, the report

                shows the overall amount of improvement in both degrees
                and percentage.




                It’s important to note that the report may show both an im-
                provement and regression in the same area. In the example

                show on the previous page, the initial exam showed a +3

                anterior cervical result and a -3 result on the second exam.
                This equals three degrees of improvement, but was offset by

                three degrees of regression. The formula we use will show

                that these two results cancel each other in the final, overall
                improvement report. So remember, it is possible to have both

                an improvement and regression in the same area on the

                comparison report.
