Part 7 provides information about DigitalNow, which provides archiving features and
the R2 Patient ID system.
7.1. Overview
R2 DM supports the archiving of digitized film images and CAD results for supported
DICOM views. You can enable and disable the archiving features by means of the
Connectivity option on the Controls screen. At the time of installation, the features
are set either to On or Off, based on your preference.
The Archiving feature requires a patient information database from which to draw
the necessary patient information. This ensures that the images and CAD results are
stored properly in the archive. Therefore, the Patient ID feature must be enabled and
the system configured to communicate with a patient information database in order
for the Archiving feature to function. In addition, the R2 system must be configured
to communicate with the archive system.
If both Patient ID and Archiving are enabled, the images and any CAD results are sent
to the archive system after the images are processed.
The archived images and CAD results, like any other record in the archive system, can
then be retrieved and viewed on softcopy review workstations and/or printed.
