Yes, thank you Sabine...I will contact the sales department.

Ok, thank you for your response and explanation Sabine.

Do you mean to say that there is no way to add to a study once it is imported using the basic K-Pacs installment? I don't see any pricing info at the linked-page you posted but noticed links from there to sales/brokers. Do you have a ballpark estimate for if we wanted IQ-View on approximately 5 workstations? Thanks in advance!

Hello IMAGE Info Sys Ltd Community,

I am a network/sys admin trying to find my end-users a way to be able to add their demographic info sheet and MR reports to the already existing DICOM images sent from the MR workstation (Hitachi proprietary Linux-based OS). The Hitachi workstation automatically sends the MR images to my K-Pacs workstation (Windows Server 2003 R2) and from there the users can export these images to other DICOM nodes via AE-Titles, so that part is working well.

I did some research and the documentation on this seems to be sparse, but apparently if you drag and drop a study from the modality column onto the "Import" button from the main GUI, you can "merge" that series with an already existing study. However, when I try to do so, it merely pulls up the Import dialog, where I can name it (and I have tried naming the test image and supplying the exact same demographic info as for an already existing study), import it as DICOM (the image is originally JPG as it is scanned in by a twain scanner), but I see no option to add it to an existing study.

What am I missing? I see the selections at bottom e.g. same study, different series in a study, and one other that I don''t remember, but trying all 3 yielded nothing. So until I have a solution, I am required to have the end users at one radiology center push (export) the study to a different branch which uses Digital Jacket, have those end-users add the demo info and report, and THEN export from there to our datacenter (long-term archive). There HAS to be some way to add this at the center where the study is actually conducted and cut out the middle-man. I look forward to your suggestions...please be as specific as possible when replying as I am new to K-Pacs and indeed DICOM and other medical software as well. Thank you in advance for your help with this issue.

Hello all,

I just had a PC with Digital Jacket (client-side DICOM viewer/transfer software) go down and it wasn't backed up (I know, but cut me a little slack, just started this job a couple months ago). So I'm new to the medical side of IT to begin with and previous admins' documentation leaves much to be desired. I have an Server 2003 R2 machine with all updates in effect and current. I downloaded K-Pacs from the download center, installed, and got the initial splash screen followed by a dialog asking me to specify Move, Query/Retrieve, and Imagebox AET's and port number. Port number for DICOM across the entire network is 104. I noticed that this would not let me put the full name of the Server (DesAcc's DICOM Gateway 2.0) AET so I changed it to the Digital Jacket folder which used to house the images until the crash (in a proprietary DB format).

Seemed to work ok until I tried to actually open K-Pacs after that initial install. It raises "K-Pacs.exe - Application Error" with the following detail:

"The instruction at "0x00402e88" referenced memory at "0x00402e88". The memory could not be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program"

Clicking OK throws the same error (presumably) indefinitely, clicking cancel says something about "Just-In-Time debugging exception failed with the following error: No installed debugger has JIT debugging enabled." So I'm perplexed and have a boss breathing down my neck to get this fixed, I'm the only Network/Sys admin here and calling in a DICOM specialist is prohibitively expensive. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or offer me a free alternative? Thanks in advance for your assistance w/ this issue.
