Archive Retrieval

To selectively schedule when to automatically retrieve studies from a third-party archive, set up a retrieve action. For example, you may want to retrieve priors for procedures scheduled for the following day.

To enable the retrieval action:

Create and save a worklist filter
Go to Worklists/Other Lists and find the created filter
Select the Configure Retrieve icon
Make the desired changes and select the Configure icon

A Configure Retrieve page will appear for the selected worklist filter:

Process current content - retrieves priors for all existing studies on the worklist

set to no performs for new studies only

Batch size - maximum number of studies to process each cycle
Scheduling - performs retrieve action immediately after something matches the filter criteria, executed in 5 minute cycles, or at a specific time on the day
Include priors - instructs server to include priors

After adding a device to the device table with Type set to DICOM, the DICOM device setup page appears. On this page, enter the DICOM-specific configuration for the device plus the data coercion rules applied to objects received from this device. Administrators can limit the maximum number of outbound send tasks and inbound registration tasks associated with a specific device. These typically do not require changes. To change the settings from this page, in the Task Limits section enter values into the following fields, as needed.

Device-Specific Data Coercion Data

coercion adds or modifies attribute values to objects when acquired by the system, including acquiring from a networked device or scanner, or transmitted to the viewer. To define device-specific coercion rules,

1. Go to the Devices page 2. Click to edit the device you want to configure. For scanning, create and use the Self device as defined in section 7.5.1.2.1.1 Creating a Self Device. 3. In the Data Coercion section, type one or more commands into the text box. If needed, select DICOM tags from the pull-down menu and click Add Tag. 4. Click Save.

Coercion rules do not propagate between linked servers. At this time, coercion works for DICOM alpha-numeric attributes only. Coercion rules apply to all DICOM C-STORE messages arriving from the device. Multiple rules can exist for a single device. They are applied in the order used in the definition list. Coercing data elements may impact the DICOM compliance of an object, and may lead to inoperability in eRAD PACS and third party systems. If unsure of the effect a coercion rule will have, contact support for guidance
