DICOM Worklists
DICOM worklist provides the ability to import patient data from the Hospital Information System
or Radiology Information System. The patient information form also provides the ability to enter
specific patient data and query the worklist server for a matching patient procedure.
The system’s worklist capability functions only when the following is set up:
• The system is configured before using DICOM. See “DICOM Configuration” on page 106.
• The system is connected to a LAN. See “To connect to a LAN:” on page 105.
• A worklist server has been configured for the active location.
To perform a manual patient query:
1 Ensure that a worklist server is configured and is communicating with the TITAN, by selecting
Verify on the main DICOM configuration screen.
2 Press the Patient key.
3 Select New from the on-screen menu.
This ends the current patient procedure.
Note: New patient will end the existing exam and will erase any previously entered information,
including any calculations and report pages. To save this information, save the screen for each item, e.g.
report pages, patient information, calculations, and graphs.
4 Enter data in any of the following six fields: Patient: Last, First, Middle; Accession Number,
Patient ID, or Procedure ID.
A query is made on the character or characters, e.g., searching for Smith will return Smith,
Smithson, Smithy.
5 Select Query from the on-screen menu.
After the query has completed, the total number of patient procedures matching the query is
displayed in the lower right corner of the screen.
6 Use the touchpad to highlight the desired patient procedure and then Select from the on-screen
menu.
The information is displayed on the Patient Information form.
