DICOM is the abbreviation of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. This is the
industrial standard for communication of images and other information between medical
devices on the network. Using the DICOM option, you can send or print images after
connecting your ultrasound equipment and PACS.
This dialog section is used to set up details of all of your DICOM target nodes (image servers).
Once you have set up a DICOM node properly, data can simply be transmitted by selecting
the appropriate target node.
Select the [DICOM Configuration] button (in the System Setup - Connectivity -
Device Setup page) to display the DICOM Configuration window.
Test Connection: Test the connection to a DICOM station. (This test may take
up to 30 seconds).
First select the station to test with the right or left trackball key, then click the
[Test Connection] button. If the TCP/IP connection to the remote station is
active, "OK" will appear in the [Ping] line. If the DICOM server on the remote
station is active, "OK" will appear in the [Verify] line.
This button appears only if Service [Report] and Transfer via serial port is selected.
