Purpose of this Section

This section describes communication and connection options between the Venue™ ultrasound
scanner and other devices in the Hospital Information System.
5-4-2

Stand-alone Venue™

In this case, images will most likely be reviewed from a removable media. If digital images are stored,
they should be saved directly to the removal media.
5-4-3 Direct Connection from Venue™ to a Review Workstation
In this case, the data is transferred from the Venue™ to a dedicated review workstation over an Ethernet
connection.
The connection may be done in one of these ways:
• Connection via a Local Area Network (LAN) - set up for this special use only
• Connection via the hospital network (Local Area Network - LAN or Wide Area Network - WAN)
The database on the review station is used as the master and images are stored directly to the review
station's storage.
In this configuration the ultrasound scanner is just an intermediate acquisition unit which after
completion of a study, will not contain any patient information, measurements or images. The
acquisition can be done online or offline.
5-4-4 Venue™ and a DICOM Server in a Network
In this case, the Venue™ is configured to work with a DICOM server in a network environment. Usually,
this will be the hospital network.
Images are first saved on the local image buffer on the Venue™.
At the end of the examination the images are sent to the DICOM server via a DICOM spooler.
This scenario requires that Venue™ is configured to be connected to the DICOM server.
