DICOM General

DICOM General

These are general general DICOM settings for the system.

caution

These settings affect how images are exported from the system. Carefully consider the changes you make here.

Process Images​

If this option is set to False, exported images will not have the Musica or user defined image processing applied to them. The default value is True.

Embed Annotations​

If this option is set to False, images exported will not have annotations applied to them. The default value is True

Burn-In Overlays to PACS​

If this option is set to True, overlays will be applied to images when DICOM Sending. The default value is False.

info

Usually PACS or other DICOM Storage Servers will have a way to show DICOM Tags as overlays built into their own editor.

Send Retries​

This is the number of times the system will attempt to send an image after it has initially failed to send. The default value is 0.

Time Between Retries (Sec)​

This is the amount of time to wait in between retries in seconds. The default value is 10 seconds.

Worklist Activity Timeout​

This is how many seconds of inactivity it takes for a worklist action to fail and cancel. The default value is 30 seconds.

One Association per Network Job​

Setting this to true will open a network association for each study you wish to archive. This setting is set to False by default.

New Series Per Image​

When set to True the system sends each image to the DICOM device with a new series indicator. This setting defaults to False

Send Unique Image UID​

When set to True the system sends a new image UID each time the image is exported. When this option is False the system sends the original image UID each time the image is exported. This is set to False by default.

Mappings and AE Titles​

Modality mappings allow you to set the value of modality DICOM tag (0005,0060) to value of another modality. It's not recommended that you modify these settings without direction from a Support representative.

Local AE Titles can be configured to identify your acquisition system to other systems you integrate with, like your Modality Worklist.
