A scanner and a DICOM server in a
network
In this scenario the Vivid S5/Vivid S6 is configured to work with
a DICOM server in a network environment. Images are first
saved on the local image buffer on the scanner. At the end of
the examination the images are sent to the DICOM server via a
DICOM spooler.
The DICOM server dataflow supported are:
• DICOM server: images are stored to a DICOM server
• Local Archive - Int HD/DICOM Server: the local archive is
used for patient archiving. Images are stored to the internal
hard drive and to a DICOM server.
• Remote Archive - Remote HD/DICOM Server: a remote
database is used for patient archiving. Images are stored to
a network image volume and to a DICOM server.
• Worklist/Local Archive - DICOM Server/Int HD: search in
a DICOM Modality Worklist, the patient found is copied into
local database. The patient information and the
examination results are stored to the local database.
Images are stored to a DICOM server and to an image
volume on the local hard drive.
• Worklist/Remote Archive - DICOM Server/Remote HD:
search in a DICOM Modality Worklist, the patient found is
copied into a remote database. The patient information and
the examination results are stored to a remote database.
Images are stored to a DICOM server and to an image
network volume as pure DICOM in both locations.
• Query/Retrieve: retrieve images from a DICOM server
based on query parameters.
This scenario requires that the scanner is configured to be
connected to the DICOM server as described below.
