2-3-6-4 Purpose of the DICOM network function
DICOM services provide the operator with clinically useful features for moving images and patient
information over a hospital network. Examples of DICOM services include the transfer of images to
workstations for viewing or transferring images to remote printers. As an added benefit, transferring
images in this manner frees up the on-board monitor and peripherals, enabling viewing to be done while
scanning continues. With DICOM, images can be archived, stored, and retrieved faster, easier, and at
a lower cost.
2-3-6-5 DICOM option setup requirements
To configure the VIVID E9 to work with other network connections, the site’s network administrator must
provide information to complete the form in
Figure 2-3 "Worksheet for DICOM Network Information" on
page 2-13 . Ensure that there are no spaces in any field of the form.
Entries must include:
• A host name, local port number, AE Title, IP address and Net Mask for the VIVID E9.
• The IP addresses for the default gateway and other routers at the site for ROUTING
INFORMATION.
• The host name, IP address, port and AE Title for each device the site wants connected to the
VIVID E9 for DICOM APPLICATION INFORMATION. A field for the make (manufacturer) and the
revision of the device, is also included. This information may be useful for error solving.
