Connecting Kpacs server to MRI

    Hello
    I have a MRI(GE Signa Excite) and i like to connect it to a PC to record images on CD.
    Do you think if I install Kpacs on this PC I can save images on this PC and record them.
    How I ll do the connections?


    What do you recomend?


    Thank you

    Hello Eric,


    K-PACS would be a possible solution for your task but not the best, if you want to store a lot of images (more than 1000 Patients). Then you should install ConquestServer or similar dicom server software. K-PACS is mainly intended to be an images presentation software and import-export workstation that connects to a server but implements a small database as well (for instance to cache most recent studies)


    On your MR-machine you have to find the dialog where to state the dicom note properties you want to connect to. Default properties of K-PACS are:
    AET: KPSERVER, Port: 111 but you can change those settings with the server admin tool.
    If you use K-PACS than make shure that you swiched off "overflowmanagement: based on date of registration", because studies older than the stated number of days will be deleted automatically from your db.
