Connectivity
This section describes the communication and connection
options for the Vivid S5/Vivid S6 ultrasound unit with other
devices in the hospital information system. This section covers
the procedures for configuration and optimal data management
from a Vivid S5/Vivid S6 in the following scenarios:
• A stand-alone Vivid S5/Vivid S6 (page 434).
• A Vivid S5/Vivid S6 and one or several EchoPAC PC
workstations in a sneaker net environment (page 435).
• A Vivid S5/Vivid S6 and an EchoPAC PC workstations in a
direct connect environment (page 437).
• A Vivid S5/Vivid S6 and a DICOM server in a network
(page 443).
• A Vivid S5/Vivid S6 and one or more PC stations in
MPEGvue or eVue environment.
The dataflow concept
Communication between the Vivid S5/Vivid S6 ultrasound unit
and other information providers on the network takes the form
of dataflows. Selecting a dataflow will automatically customize
the ultrasound unit to work according to the services
associated with this dataflow. Each dataflow defines the
location and format of patient information. Patient information
can include demographic data and images, as well as reports,
measurement and analysis data. By utilizing dataflows, the
user can configure the Vivid S5/Vivid S6 ultrasound unit to
optimally meet the connectivity needs of the facility, while
keeping the user interface unchanged. The dataflow concept
allows the flexibility of data to be obtained from various sources
and allows data to flow to various output sources.
Dataflow examples
Refer to "Dataflow" on page 616 for a complete list and
description of supported dataflows.
