Using DICOM Worklist
DICOM Worklist is a function of the Terason Ultrasound software that connects to a
DICOM server using a network service, and generates a list of patient information sets
that meet chosen criteria. Worklist finds patient records based on parameters set in the
Tools > Options window.
To prepare for an ultrasound exam, the ultrasound technician queries Worklist using
parameters that include the patient’s information. The query reruns a worklist of all the
patient information sets that meet the criteria. The ultrasound technician selects a patient’s
record on the worklist, and the exam is automatically attached to that patient’s information
(the Patient Info window is populated with the selected patient’s information.) The
technician can also use Worklist to obtain the patient information from the DICOM server
and apply the information to a current exam. Worklist cannot attach patient information to
a saved exam.
