Networking Support Setup
Networking Support Overview
Networking support within VisionQ and standalone Vision creates a
convenient mechanism for sharing image data within an office or
clinic. Using network storage provided and maintained by the
customer, system software monitors the connection and allows
scanning to proceed even if the network is temporarily broken.
Then, the software will automatically update the server with new
patient scans when the connection is restored.
NOTE: The customer is responsible for providing the network
accessible storage at their location, including security, backup, and
archive functions.
Networking Data Flow
When the Image Root Folder is set to a location on the local disk,
networking software is automatically disabled, and all data
acquisition goes to the local disk. But if the Image Root Folder is
setup on a remote network shared folder, acquired data flow is
altered somewhat and networking software takes part in the flow. In
this case, VisionQ stores newly-acquired, DICOM-format
projection data (RAW_CT) and reconstructed images (CT) on its
local disk (in C:\LocalRoot), regardless of the Image Root Folder
setting. If a study is immediately viewed or manipulated, that work
is also saved locally. At the same time, the networking software's
background Sweeper service automatically tries to copy this new
data to the designated Image Root Folder.
For VisionQ and standalone Vision, the Study List displayed on the
left side is derived from the Image Root Folder on the network
server. Previously-acquired studies are also manipulated from that
location. Because of this, there is a delay from the time an
acquisition or reconstruction completes to the time when the study
is displayed on the Study List.
