4 Setting to work the network and DICOM interface

4.1 DICOM and network devices


This chapter describes how to configure the DICOM interface.
For Radiation Dose Structured Report (RDSR) no DICOM licence is required.

NOTICE
To allow for re-configuring the DICOM workflow interface, see the site survey data obtained from the
user via the Network Connectivity Sheet (part of the SRM).

DICOM (Digital Imaging COmmunication in Medicine) is a protocol for communication between medi-
cal devices. The DFI of Veradius system communicates via DICOM with the network of a hospital. The
DFI sends images acquired with Veradius system together with information of patients, acquisition data
etc. to a network target.
Devices on this network can be:
• Printers.
• Archives to archive images and data, for example PACS.
• Workstations for analyses of images.
• WLM servers (Worklist Management), for planning of examinations of patients.
• MPPS (Modality Performed Procedure Step), to report the status of performed examinations.
With certain functions of the user interface of the Veradius system, the images and data on the DFI
can be sent to the above-mentioned devices on the network. All functions (except RDSR) are optional.
The functions are:
• Export
• Print
• WLM
• MPPS
• Storage commitment (SC)
• Radiation Dose Structured Report (RDSR)
See the Instructions for Use for more information on these functions.

In DICOM terms, the Veradius system is called the modality. Printers, archives, workstations, WLM/
MPPS servers are called targets and functions are called application entities (AE).
The following procedure applies when a new patient enters the hospital:
1. The data of a patient will be entered in a Hospital Information System (HIS) or a Radiology Informa-
tion System (RIS). In case of an emergency, this step can be omitted.

2. On a WLM server, the patient examinations have to be scheduled.


3. When a certain examination on a modality has been performed, the status will be reported to an
MPPS server.
The MPPS in Progress will be sent after acquiring the first image of the examination.
4. The data and images of each examination can be printed, stored or sent to a workstation.
5. Images that are manipulated on a workstation can be printed and/or be stored from the workstation.
6. To be sure images are stored safely, a storage commitment procedure is used. Images that are sent
from a modality to the storage device are only deleted on the modality if the storage device gives

4.4 Loading of the printer types file (ptf)

Introduction
The procedure below has to be followed to install new printers or new versions of software for printers.
For all DICOM Printer types supported by the Veradius system, pre-defined (default) values for all
printer parameters have been specified in the printer types file.
There are 3 different kinds of printer parameters:
• Printer parameters that can be modified in BV-Scope by both the administrator and the local Philips
representative. In the printer types file all possible values are defined, the first value is the default value
(example: "Film Orientation").
• Printer parameters that can be modified in BV-Scope by the local Philips representative only. To modi-
fy these parameters detailed knowledge of DICOM print is required. In the printer types file all possible
values are defined, the first value is the default value (example: ‘‘Magnification Type’’).
• Printer parameters that cannot be modified. The value in the printer types file is fixed.
Before DICOM printer targets can be configured, the pre-configured printer types have to be loaded
into the system. Only DICOM printers that make use of the pre-defined printer types can be configured
on the Veradius system.

Preconditions
The DICOM printer types file must be available on the service PC. The printer types file (dicom.ptf) can
be found on the Veradius Software cd-rom.

4.8 DICOM queue management

4.8.1 Introduction
Both DICOM export and DICOM print actions can be performed when the system is not connected to
the network. Therefore, the images to be exported or printed will be stored in a queue on the Veradius
system. When the Veradius system is connected to a network, all prepared export and/or print ses-
sions can be started by one simple action (with the |RESUME| button in the Export panel on the user
interface of the MVS). When an export/print session fails (for example when the DICOM export target
is not available), the prepared export/print session will be kept in the queue on the Veradius system.
When a problem with one or more DICOM targets persists, it is possible the queue on the Veradius
systems gets full. Therefore, it is possible to access the DICOM queue via BV-Scope. In BV-Scope
each export/print session can be selected, the detailed information can be viewed and the entry can be
removed from the queue.

4.8.2 Deleting queue entries


To delete queue entries, perform the following actions and checks:
1. Select BV-Scope path: Administrator > DICOM Queue Management. The DICOM Queue Manage-
ment panel appears.

4.9 DICOM Structured Dose Report

Introduction
The function of the DICOM Structured Dose Report is to report any radiation dose that has been creat-
ed during patient treatment. Even if images are discarded (e.g. fluoroscopy, rejected radiographs), the
DICOM Structured Dose Report function will record all of the radiation used during a procedure.
The Radiation Dose Structured Report (RDSR) is a DICOM object that is created and managed sepa-
rately from the creation and storage of images. The RDSR always contains patient, examination data
and the total dose data for the entire procedure. Up to three different RDSR targets can be configured
on a Veradius R1.1 system.

NOTICE
With DICOM Structured Dose Report enabled, executing service actions resulting in X-ray will send
'no-name' RDSR reports to the DICOM queue and RDSR server. If applicable, inform your customer
