Cd, Dvd And Usb Interchange - GE Revolution CT User Manual

5 CD, DVD and USB Interchange

CD, DVD and USB interchange is used to write or recall images from a Compact Disc-
Recordable (CD-R) or Digital Versatile Disc-Recordable (DVD-R) in a Digital Imaging and
Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format. Optionally, a DICOM viewer may be stored on
the media so the images can be viewed on a personal computer.
Only CD -R or DVD -R media can be used for CD/DVD/USB Interchange. For CD-R, write
speed should be at least 4X and storage size of 700 MB. The media is write once and all
selections must be queued at the same time. Approximately 7,000 images can be stored to a
4.7 GB DVD-R.
In order to view the information placed on media using CD/DVD/USB interchange, the PC must
running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating system and containing Java 1.5
or higher versions. The first time the reader of the Interchange media tries to access the data,
the security setting in Advanced Settings on the PC must be set to "Allow active contents from
CDs to run on My Computer." A log file is created on the PC used to read the media, which
tracks the reading of the media to record issues for troubleshooting. The log file is limited to six
files and overwrites data once the limit is reached.
