Connectivity Setup
The Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 ultrasound systemcan be connected to various connectivity devices.
The following sections describe how to connect the system to a remote archive/work station or a DICOM
service, using a TCP/IP connection.

Connectivity Introduction
This section describes communication and connection options between the Voluson E8 / Voluson E6
ultrasound system and other devices in the hospital information system.
The following scenarios are covered:
•
stand-alone Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 scanner; see:
.
•
Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 and one or several PC workstations - with Software 4D View installed -
within a “Sneaker Net” environment. (“Sneaker Net” means that you use a DVD/CD to move data
because no network is available); see:
•
Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 and DICOM server in a network; see:
3-11-1-1
The Dataflow Concept
Communication between the Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 ultrasound system and other information
providers on the network takes the form of data flows. Each dataflow defines the transfer of patient
information from either an input source to the system, or from the system to an output source (see
examples in
Patient information can include demographic data and images, as well as reports and Measurement
and Analysis (M&A) data.
A dataflow is a set of pre-configured services. Selecting a dataflow will automatically customize the
ultrasound system to work according to the services associated with this dataflow.
By utilizing data flows, the user can configure the Voluson E8 / Voluson E6 ultrasound system to
optimally meet the needs of the facility, while keeping the user interface unchanged. Once the dataflow
is selected, the actual location of the database is entirely transparent.
