Connectivity Setup
The LOGIQ™ S8 (sp) ultrasound system can be connected to various connectivity devices.
The following sections describe how to connect the system to a remote archive/work station or a DICOM
service, using a TCP/IP connection.

Connectivity Introduction
This section describes communication and connection options between the LOGIQ™ S8 ultrasound
unit and other devices in the hospital information system.
The following scenarios are covered:
•
stand-alone LOGIQ™ S8 scanner; see:
•
LOGIQ™ S8 and one or several PC workstations within a "Sneaker Net" environment. ("Sneaker
Net" means that you use a DVD/CD to move data because no network is available); see:
3-11-1-4 on page
•
LOGIQ™ S8 and DICOM server in a network; see:
3-11-1-1
The Dataflow Concept
Communication between the LOGIQ™ S8 ultrasound unit and other information providers on the
network takes the form of data flows. Each dataflow defines the transfer of patient information from
either an input source to the unit, or from the unit to an output source (see examples in
page
3-42).
Patient information can include demographic data and images, as well as reports and Measurement
and Analysis (M&A) data.
A dataflow is a set of pre-configured services. Selecting a dataflow will automatically customize the
ultrasound unit to work according to the services associated with this dataflow.
By utilizing data flows, the user can configure the LOGIQ™ S8 ultrasound unit to optimally meet the
needs of the facility, while keeping the user interface unchanged. Once the dataflow is selected, the
actual location of the database is entirely transparent.
