Module 4 Network Configuration
The following sections provide some basic biomedical networking
background information along with information and procedures
specific to the GE Voluson E10 ultrasound systems.
DICOM
The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a
standard that specifies a consistent file structure for biomedical
images and important associated information that must remain
associated with the images such as patient name time, date,
institution etc. The DICOM specification identifies the elements
required to achieve interoperability between medical imaging
computer systems.
DICOM addresses these five general application areas:
 Network image management
 Network image interpretation management
 Network print management
 Imaging procedure management
 Off-line storage media management
Prepare for Network Configuration
You will need to get the facilities network information from the
system administrator. You can print out the information needed to
configure the system using the Network Configuration Worksheet
appended to the end of this manual.
GE Dataflows
GE refers to communication between its ultrasound systems and
other information providers on the network as “dataflows”. A
dataflow is a set of configured settings.
Communication between the Voluson E-Series ultrasound system and
other information providers on the network takes the form of data
