Connectivity Setup

The LOGIQ S8 ultrasound system can be connected to various connectivity devices.
The following sections describe how to connect the system to a remote archive/work station or a DICOM
service, using a TCP/IP connection.

3-11-1 Connectivity Introduction

This section describes communication and connection options between the LOGIQ S8 ultrasound unit
and other devices in the hospital information system.
The following scenarios are covered:
• stand-alone LOGIQ S8 scanner; see:
• LOGIQ S8 and one or several PC workstations within a "Sneaker Net" environment. ("Sneaker Net"
means that you use a DVD/CD to move data because no network is available); see:
4 "LOGIQ S8 + PC within a "Sneaker Net"" on page
• LOGIQ S8 and DICOM server in a network; see:
and DICOM Server" on page

3-11-2 The Dataflow Concept

Communication between the LOGIQ S8 ultrasound unit and other information providers on the network
takes the form of data flows. Each dataflow defines the transfer of patient information from either an
input source to the unit, or from the unit to an output source (see examples in
Patient information can include demographic data and images, as well as reports and Measurement and
Analysis (M&A) data.
A dataflow is a set of pre-configured services. Selecting a dataflow will automatically customize the
ultrasound unit to work according to the services associated with this dataflow.
By utilizing data flows, the user can configure the LOGIQ S8 ultrasound unit to optimally meet the needs
of the facility, while keeping the user interface unchanged. Once the dataflow is selected, the actual
location of the database is entirely transparent.
