Purpose of the DICOM network function
DICOM services provide the operator with clinically useful
features for moving images and patient information over a
hospital network.
Examples of DICOM services include the transfer of images to
workstations for viewing or transferring images to remote
printers.
As an added benefit, transferring images in this manner frees up
the on-board monitor and peripherals, enabling viewing to be
done while scanning continues.
With DICOM, images can be archived, stored, and retrieved
faster, easier, and at a lower cost.
DICOM option setup requirements
To configure the Ultrasound system to work with other network
connections, the site’s network administrator must provide
information to complete the form “Worksheet for DICOM
Network Information”. Ensure that there are no spaces in any
field of the form.
Entries must include:
• A host name, local port number, AE Title, IP address and
Net Mask for the Ultrasound system.
• The IP addresses for the default gateway and other routers
at the site for ROUTING INFORMATION.
• The host name, IP address, port and AE Title for each
device the site wants connected to the Ultrasound system
for DICOM APPLICATION INFORMATION. A field for the
make (manufacturer) and the revision of the device, is also
included. This information may be useful for error solving.
