  • SMTP Configuration in Watch Dog

    Hi


    I am using Watch Dog v 2.x. I had configured the SMTP to receive email in case of any DICOM Node is down. But on saving the credentials and clicking the SEND TEST EMAIL. no email is received. I am using the Gmail SMTP.


    Please guide.

  • Reformatting of Patient MR Name

    Hi


    I don't know whether to post this query on the forum on not but i am facing this issue. We had recently installed new DR system and we are facing some problems with the patient ID. There is some limitation in the Software of DR that it cannot use / or - in Patient ID. So our Tech is using _ in patient Names. I tried to update the Patient ID using the lua String functions but as i am not expert in lua so my script works for one patient ID format but not for the other


    Format of Patient IDs are as follow:-


    Patient ID 1 : A123456_1 update to A123456-1


    Patient ID 2 : SO123_1 update to SO123-1


    Patient ID 3 : AA-BBB-1234 update to AA/BBB/1234


    Patient ID 4: AAA-BB-3005 update to AAA/BB/3005


    Patient ID 5 : AAA_BBB_1234 update to AAA/BBB/1234


    I know that it is recommended not to change the Patient ID but for integration of PACS Server with out EMR we need to update the Patient ID as same as they are in our EMR. Badly need helps the data that need to be update is pilling up.

  • Access control based on Archive AEs

    Thanks for your prompt response. I will try as per your guideline.


    Will you guide me on this how to implement this"Then you can modify queries with QueryConverter and RetrieveConverter to add this element to limit the results."

  • Access control based on Archive AEs

    Hi!


    Will somebody guide me how can i implement this use case. There are multiple Application Entities which need to store objects to a central archive, but one Application Entity should not be able to see the studies sent by the other Application Entities. Same implies at the time of query and retrieval.

  • Help Required in Import Convertors and Lua

    Hi Marcel


    I totally agree with your stance of not changing the Patient ID. But if you are facing problem in integrating PACS Server with your HIMS then you have to do so. My question was , as mentioned in the manual and on forums in number of posts that ImportConvertor runs first before saving any data on the hard disk. The ImportConvertor works fine as per our desire but the folder name is not update as per new Patient ID. In this case (i might be wrong), the incoming images are saved first and then import convertor runs??


    Please guide me.

  • Difference between Archive and Local Storage

    HI Marcel


    Thanks for your prompt response. Please find my reply inline.


    1) If you have so many projects I would not use nightlymove, it is too limited. Use command line tools instead
    As i told you i have 87 sites at the moment that are connected with the Central PACS. If i configure NIGHTLYMOVE won't server move data to ARCHIVE?? If command line tools please guide.


    2) MAG stores remain live, so conquest reads them as well, zipping is therefore not possible

    You can zip individual patients for export from the command line or a script.

    3) The server core allows as many MAG devices as you like, but the GUI is limited to 10
    Server core??? Will you guide from where i can download this core based software? Will i be able to run Server Core option based on Windows. Guidelines required.


    If you want that many storage locations, is MAG device the right mechanism? What do the projects represent?

    Objective is to save each site data in a separate location. Project means sites that are sending data to us.

  • Difference between Archive and Local Storage

    Thanks for the feedback Marcel. Firstly, in nightlymove option do i have to define the MAG Storage limitation when studies will move or studies will move every night? Secondly, after the moves to the archive, can i zip the studies? and thirdly, the last can i some how increase the number of MAGs from 9 to n numbers. I have 87 projects and want to save initial data in MAG0 and then move them to separte MAGs. (guidance required in this step also.)

  • Difference between Archive and Local Storage

    Hi


    I was reading the user manual yesterday and got a following query. I had setup a local storage and images are saved at the specified location. My question is how to define the ARCHIVE and when will images move to this archive. I mean what will trigger the images to move??

  • Help Required in Import Convertors and Lua

    Thanks Garlicknots


    For your prompt reply . I am not that much into programming now a days.


    I decided go leave it as it is as my end user was able to query the study on new patient id.


    As far as your guidance is concerned i never used SQL Update command in lua. If you can share a sample of it i can play around and share the finalized version of the script if i get it.

  • Help Required in Import Convertors and Lua

    Hi


    I am using Lua script to modify the Patient ID. This part is working. But when the images are saved on the disk they are saved with the old Patient ID.


    For example : If my DR machine is sending the DICOM Data with the Patient ID:: AA_BCDE_123 or AA-BCD-12. Whereas in our EMR we have PatientID as AA/BCDE/123 or AA/BCD/12.

    The images are saved with the Patient ID AA/BCDE/123 or AA/BCD/12 in Database but physically they are saved as AA_BCDE_123 or AA-BCD-12.

    The File Name Syntax i am using is as follow:-

    FileNameSyntax = %studydate[6,7]-%studydate[4,5]-%studydate[0,3]\%id-(%name)\%VSeriesDescription\%series%counter.dcm


    [lua]

    ImportConverter0 = dofile(updatepatid.lua')


    patid.lua


    PatientID= Data.PatientID

    Data.PatientID = string.gsub(Data.PatientID, '_', '/')

    Data.PatientID = string.gsub(Data.PatientID, '-', '/')


    And secondly, if i want to modify already saved data (there are around 25,000 studies), please also guide in this regard also.

  • Error in Saving Data from CT Scan

    Hi


    I am trying to configure the newly installed CT Scan with PACS Server. DICOM Test is PASSED but when i try to send images from CT Scan, only one image that is Summary of the Patient Scan is saved. Rest all of the images are discarded.

  • Delete Data from Main Server

    I want when a query is made to Virtual Server A, data is copied from Virtual Server A to the Main PACS. Firs it is saved on Main PACS and then Main PACS forward it to client. I want that no data is saved on Main PACS. Main PACS simply forward the data.

  • Delete Data from Main Server

    Hi


    I had setup 2 x virtual servers and they are working fine. I wanted that Mian PACS Server after serving the data to client must delete the study that is retrieved from Virtual Server. After reading the manual i found the following option::

    OverlapVirtualGet. If set other than 0, data coming in for other (virtual) servers is transmitted directly through to clients while it is being received. The value determines how many objects

    are kept in memory. Default is 0. To enable it set it to 5 or the same value as EnableReadAheadThread.


    My dicom.ini file is


    #For virtual Servers Setup

    VirtualServerFor0 = VSERVERA,CACHESTUDIES,CACHESERIES,NONVIRTUAL

    VirtualServerFor1 = VSERVERB,CACHESTUDIES,CACHESERIES,NONVIRTUAL

    VirtualServerPerSeries0 = 5

    VirtualServerPerSeries1 = 5

    OverlapVirtualGet = 10

    CacheVirtualData = 1



    BUt still files are first saved on main server then they are fwded to client.


    Please guide me in this regard
