Chapter Organization
This chapter on networking contains a brief overview of the capabilities available with DICOM
Gateway and HFA-NET Pro software. Following the overviews, each networking feature is described
to allow you to use the feature and to make changes to the feature, if possible. However, in order to
use these features or make changes, the network must be set up first. This chapter is written
primarily for the user and not the Network Administrator. For instructions on setting up your HFA
network, have your Network Administrator refer to
Appendix (I) of this manual.
DICOM Gateway Features
DICOM Gateway is a purchased and licensed software program that allows you to connect one or
more HFA II-
i
series instruments to a qualified DICOM compatible EMR/PMS system, or DICOM
archive, such as Carl Zeiss Meditec’s FORUM™ or VISUPAC™ software, or the United States
Veterans Administration's (VA) VistA™ system.
DICOM Gateway software includes DICOM work lists, which enables easy scheduling of patient
exams on the HFA. Work list scheduling eliminates manual lookup of patient records on the
instrument, or entering of patient data which can lead to duplication of patient records.
DICOM Gateway 2.0 has the additional feature of saving and retrieving the complete patient record
(which includes patient demographics and exam data) to and from a DICOM archive. HFA reports can
also be sent to the EMR/PMS/DICOM system. If you have multiple HFAs, the DICOM archive functions
as a central repository of images and patient data, where you can view exam reports which are
organized with the patient data, and provides a means of database backup. Routine IT backup
procedures at the DICOM server ensures patient data will never be lost in case of instrument failure.
Automatic or manual archiving and synchronization of patient records is not needed as there is only
one database (the DICOM archive) that all HFAs save to and retrieve from (i.e., patient A's exam
taken on HFA A can be accessed by HFA B). In addition to work list functionality, unscheduled query
and retrieval of patient information can be performed. Also retrieval of prior exams from a central
storage location frees up usage of HFAs by running GPA on any GPA licensed HFA; you don’t have to
run GPA on the same HFA where you acquired the last exam.
