Acclarix AX4 Diagnostic Ultrasound System User Manual
DICOM Store: Determines when DICOM images and clips are sent to the server. The
options are:
 Transfer on demand: Images, clips and structured reports are only sent when you
manually send them. When there is no exam in progress the Review hard key will
show a list of all exams on the hard drive. Select an exam and press the Send button
at the bottom of the screen.
 Auto-Transfer when Store: Each image or clip is sent automatically when it is
captured. This has the advantage that images and clips are immediately available for
review at the server while the exam is in progress. It has the disadvantage that, due to
the nature of DICOM, images that are already sent can not be deleted from the server
from the system.
 Auto Transfer when End Exam: Images, clips and structured reports are sent
automatically when the exam is ended. This is the most common setting.
Monitor Network: Check this item to monitor DICOM network connection status and
update the status of DICOM network icon accordingly during DICOM transfer.
SR Configuration: This brings up a dialog box for detailed structured report configuration.
The dialog box includes the following:
 Send SR with Images: This will enable the function of sending structured report
together with images to a DICOM server.
 Report Type: this determines the type of structured report. Select Enhanced report or
Comprehensive report according to the report type your PACS system requires.
 Data Configuration: this determines whether a report with All Results or with only
Summary Results will be sent. All results include all the individual measurement
results of each measurement and its summary results in the worksheet, while
summary results come from all the individual measurement results by the method of
average, maximum, minimum or last which is decided by the user in the worksheet.
 Sequence Delimiter: this determines the method to indicate the end of a DICOM
sequence. Undefined and Explicit are available.
Server Settings:
Server list: The main interaction in this section is a list of configured servers. It starts off
as an empty list, and grows as servers are added. Most sites will only use one server, but if
the system is moved between locations then multiple servers may be entered. Clicking in any
field in this list will select that server. Depending on the exact level of software a second
click may be needed to edit that field. The fields are:
 Default: A check mark on the left side indicates which server is the default for
Auto-Transfer.
 Name: The name of the server that appears in the drop-down list of the patient
database
 AE Title, IP Address, Port, Max PDU: These are the settings of the destination
DICOM server; it's how the system finds the DICOM server on your network. The
AE title and IP Address are unique to your network; contact your network IT
manager for these settings. The most common setting of Remote Port for DICOM
servers is 104, although your server may be different.
