2.7 Interoperable Connections
The Faxitron CT is capable of operating as a standalone device without any input or
output to other devices. Images can be captured, stored, and reviewed directly on the
system.
However, the system does come with several interfaces. The primary one is the network
connection which allows the system to be connected to a Picture Archiving and
Communications System (PACS). Images can then be transmitted from the device
directly to the facilities network via our software in a DICOM format. See Section 6 for
details on DICOM functionality.
Caution:
Only Hologic employees or trained IT personnel at the user facility should set up
this communication.
The system’s connections and their intended use are listed below. No other type of
devices should be connected to the Faxitron CT without approval from Hologic.
