Recall Patients, View, or Print Tests from a DICOM Archive

(DICOM Gateway 2.0 only)
If you have purchased and registered DICOM Gateway 2.0, you can transfer patient information and
view or print tests from a DICOM Archive.
When patient information is recalled (or tests are retrieved for viewing or printing) from a DICOM
Archive, a new patient record is created in your HFA II-
i
database if the corresponding patient record
does not exist. If the patient record exists in your HFA II-
i
, the patient record will be updated with
information from the DICOM Archive.
Note: See “Imported Patient Rules and Conflicts,” on page 14-59 for information on imported
Patient ID and Issuer of ID rules and conflicts.
WARNING: Every patient has an identifier that consists of Name, Date of Birth, Patient
ID, and Issuer of ID. To avoid unintentional automatic merging of patient records,
VERIFY a unique combination of Name, Date of Birth, Patient ID, and Issuer of ID
exists when patients are copied, transferred, retrieved from an archive, or restored
from a backup. There is no way to separate the combined records of erroneously
merged patients. Automatic merging of patient records occurs when a patient exists
in the local database with the EXACT SAME Name, Date of Birth, Patient ID, and
Issuer of ID as a patient that is copied, transferred, retrieved from an archive, or
restored from a backup.
For example, consider the following scenario:
Patient A: This patient is currently on the local HFA database and was automatically
assigned a unique Patient ID by the instrument because it was a blank field prior to a
software upgrade to V5.x software or during an import to the HFA through a copy,
transfer, retrieval from archive, or a restore from backup.
Patient B: This patient is about to be transferred to the local HFA database and has
the same Name and Date of Birth as Patient A, but does not have a Patient ID (i.e.
field is blank). When Patient B is copied, transferred, retrieved from an archive, or
restored from a backup to the local HFA database, Patient B will automatically be
assigned the same Patient ID and Issuer of ID as Patient A, and Patient B will be
merged with Patient A.
Note: You can only view or print tests from a DICOM Archive if raw exam data exists on the DICOM
Archive. If you are only exporting reports to the DICOM Archive, and not raw exam data, the patient
can be selected, but no tests will be available to view or print.
