Parameter Definitions
The table below provides some guidance regarding the type of information required for the DICOM
configuration of the various menus (“General”, “Printers”, Network Store”, “MPPS” and “Worklist”) on the
system.
DICOM Configuration
Parameters:
The official “name” (Application Entity) assigned to the system (by the network
administrator) to identify it on the network.
Configuration options to enable cases where the z.one
pro
is desired to be
configured to serve as a DICOM host for accepting DICOM association requests
and store requests from other DICOM devices
Defines the method that will be used (Grayscale, RGB color, etc.) by the receiving
device (DICOM PACS system) for interpreting the different bit level values of the
data, within the transferred images
Selections include:
- Palette Color
- True Color (RGB) - Color by Pixel
- True Color (RGB) - Color by Plane
- Grayscale (Monochrome2)
None
RLE Lossless
JPEG Lossy
Enables the ability to compress image files for the purpose of reducing file size
and transfer times.
RLE Lossless automatically reduces the size of the transferred image, yet retains
all source content.
Provide the highest level of image file size reduction (compression) of all the
options. User selectable “Quality” setting (between 85-100%) determines
resultant file size.
Specify the number of days back (Today, 2, 7, All) that the DICOM worklist will
reference scheduled examinations.
Enable Debug (Structured Reports)
Activates a function where a copy of the SR report file (with patient info filtering)
is captured to the Log file directory, for SR transfers (service)
Checking box results in same modality type (i.e. US, XA, etc) filtering of the
downloaded worklist superset when system is off network and worklist sourced
from cached file
A designated TCP/IP address (i.e 10.1.1.254) that is required in cases where the
system is to be connected to target devices that are outside the primary host
network (FTP remote access, for example).
A sub-sampled (miniature size) version of the image created for each patient
image on the system. Options are to either retain or remove these images from
DICOM image transfers to the target device. (default is “retain”)
Internet Protocol address. A unique Internet address for devices attached to an IP
network (TCP/IP network).
Specify the duration (in seconds) that an established DICOM connection will be
maintained, after completion of the last transfer.
Key Image Note/Key Object Selection
Document
Specifies the sending of Key Image Note electronic “Post-It” note info, as Key
Object Document content during the DICOM-DICOM SR transfers to the PACS
system.
