• Images Stored on Internal Hard Drive
In this configuration, images are first stored on the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N scanner's hard drive
and then exported from the scanner's hard drive to a sneaker MOD, and finally imported from the
sneaker MOD to the EchoPAC PC's internal hard drive.
• Images Stored on Dedicated MO Disk
In this configuration, the images are stored directly on a dedicated MOD and imported to the
EchoPAC PC's internal hard drive.
3-7-1-6 Direct Connection from Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N to an EchoPAC PC Workstation
In this configuration, the data is transferred from the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N to a dedicated EchoPAC
PC Workstation over an Ethernet connection.
The connection may be done in one of three ways:
• with a crossover cable as a Peer-to-Peer Network
• 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 from the EchoPAC PC is used as the master and images are stored directly to the
EchoPAC PC internal hard drive.
In this configuration, the 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.
3-7-1-7 Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N and a DICOM Server in a Network
In this configuration, the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N 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 scanner. At the end of the examination, the images are sent to the DICOM server via a DICOM
spooler. This scenario requires that the scanner is configured to be connected to the DICOM server.
