By Conquest Imaging on 9.3.2013 Troubleshooting DICOM issues can be one of the most difficult problems you can encounter if you do not have the right tools for the job. There was a time when ultrasound systems had a camera mounted to them and the service engineer’s domain was all physically in front of them.

Now that DICOM is prevalent, we sometimes need to work with multiple people and technologies when images do not transfer across a network. When we first have a report of DICOM issues, the obvious step is the physical aspect. Is the cable inserted into the wall and system, was it properly unplugged when the system last went portable or was it ripped out of the socket? Are the pins in the RJ45 connectors on the system and wall intact? Is the cable damaged?

Next we want to check the settings within the system. The vast majority of systems today have the ability to backup electronically so insert a backup disk and load the network settings back into the system. You may need to manually do this if a contemporary backup is unavailable.

Still not working? Now is the time to get out your laptop. Connect the network cable into your computer, go to Start/Programs/Accessories/Command prompt and enter a ping command to the destination device by typing: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (the x’s represent the IP address of the destination device).

If the ping returns OK, you likely have a system problem. If it does not, there may an issue with the facility infrastructure, switches, hubs, routers or the actual PACS device. Psp Battery Pandora Program here.

It is also a good practice to have a DICOM program on your laptop. There are dozens if not hundreds of free DICOM software programs available on the internet. By having one of these, you can program your laptop to emulate the PACS server and send exams from the ultrasound system to your computer using a crossover cable. This is a great tool to demonstrate that the system is performing as it should. This is just a small overview of troubleshooting DICOM issues; to comprehensively cover this material would take hours and would fill TechNation cover-to-cover but following these basic steps will either get you to a solution or go a long way in eliminating many possibilities.

Medical imaging and the resulting imagery are the responsibility of professionals who have at their disposal the appropriate hardware and software tools. When it comes to distributing or making these images available for a group of users users, it might be necessary to enlist the help of a utility like ConQuest DICOM Server. This software solution runs right out of the box, without requiring installation, but you will have to spend a few minutes to configure it in order to have everything function properly. The great thing about this program is that once set up, all DICOM capable systems will have the possibility to access the images stored onto the server. Adjusting the parameters of the application is not to difficult as it requires only a few things to be put in good order. More precisely, you will have to provide a unique local name for the server and the TCP/IP port it will make available for external connections.

An important mention that has to be made is that when connecting remotely to the server from any device, you should make sure to access only the server port you defined previously, otherwise there will be no connection with ConQuest DICOM Server. Once you specify the folder where the DICOM images are stored, you can activate the JPEG(2000) support, decide the type of format in which the pictures are saved and the naming convention as well. The TCP/IP and database installations can be checked from the corresponding tab of the server main window and in another module you will find a list of available maintenance tasks you can carry out. Conducting queries is possible from the last tab of the main GUI and you have at your disposal a server monitoring area and a database browsing facility as well. Overall, ConQuest DICOM Server is pretty well equipped and, most importantly, very easy to configure and take care of, so the lack of more advanced features is barely noticed.
