Adding a Modality

Preparing to Add a Modality

October 4, 2004
After the Imager has been placed into service, you can later configure the
Imager to print images from additional modalities. The Imager is capable of
receiving images from twelve DICOM-compatible modalities concurrently.
Adding a modality involves adjusting some of the image quality settings in
the Imager to match the new modality. The following procedure explains
how to add one new modality.
NOTE: You must have the Service Passcode to perform this
procedure.
• Before you begin, make sure that the new modality has been set up to
print to the Imager. The Imager must be available as a print destination
in the modality print command.
• You will need the following information about the modality:
– The modality manufacturer
– The modality type (CT, MR, etc.)
– The modality model designation
– The type and size of film to be used
– Is the modality GSDF-compliant?
– If GSDF-compliant, does the modality use PLUTs for all images it
sends or only for some images?
• You should also decide on a screen name for the modality. This name
will be used only on the Imager Local Panel to identify the modality
