Guidelines for Configuring the Virtua Device on the DICOM
Q/R SCP Device
The Query/Retrieve function must be properly configured on both
Virtua and the DICOM Q/R SCP device.
Use the following guidelines:
• Configure Virtua as a DICOM Storage Service Class Provider
(SCP) on the DICOM Q/R SCP device. This allows the DICOM
Q/R SCP device to store, or “push,” studies to the Virtua device.
For more information, refer to “Configuring a Typical DICOM
Host” on page 4-1.
• Make sure that the Called AE Title defined for Virtua on the
DICOM Q/R SCP device is unique, as it will be used for the
destination_ae_title in the Retrieve configuration as well.
• Unique Called AE Titles are especially important if there are more
than one Virtua device installed and configured on the network.
That is, do not use the factory default Virtua AE Titles, such as
"auto," but instead create a Virtua device-specific AE Title/Job
Profile for the specific Virtua installation, such as
“VIRTUA_AUTO_1.”
