DICOM Query/Retrieve (Q/R) Service

A Q/R service retrieves patients' data and corresponding exams from a PACS. The LOGIQ E9 can
query the service for exams belonging to patients that match search attributes. The LOGIQ E9 can then
retrieve the exams from the service and store them in the local archive.

Q/R Service Setup
In Utility -> Connectivity -> Service, from the Destination Device drop-down menu, select the
device on which the service resides. (This assumes you have already setup the device in the
Device tab.)
Verify Before Query: If the LOGIQ E9 attempts a Query to a service that does not respond, the
LOGIQ E9 will wait for a period determined by the Timeout and Maximum Retries settings.
During this period, user input is disabled. To avoid this, checkmark Verify Before Query. Then
the LOGIQ E9 will first verify that the service will respond, and wait no longer than "Verify
Timeout" seconds. If the service fails to respond in that time, the LOGIQ E9 will not attempt
the Query.
From the Select Service drop-down menu, select Dicom Query/Retrieve and press Add.
Change the name of the service to one of your choosing.
Enter the AE Title and Port Number of the service. AE Title is case-sensitive.
Maximum Retries, Retry Interval and Timeout have the same use as with DICOM Image
Storage Services. See:
Set Maximum Results to the maximum number of results returned.
Search Criteria are essentially the same as with Worklists. The concepts of "Remote" and
"Local" queries are also the same. See:
Save your changes and press Verify. A Smiley Face indicates successful communication with
the service.
NOTE: In many cases, the Q/R service allows a LOGIQ E9 to query its patient data, but will
not allow actual transfer of exams/images without some level of authorization. Typically, the
service needs to know the AE Title, IP address, and Port Number of the LOGIQ E9. Refer to
the documentation of the Q/R service.
