H
HIS
Hospital Information System. The database
used by a hospital to manage patient
information and scheduling.
HIS verification
An option that forces the PACS to verify all
incoming images from an acquisition station
or modality against specific criteria, such as
the patient ID and accession number. The
PACS sends a message through the RIS
Gateway to verify the criteria against what is
contained in the HIS. If the criteria match,
then the images can be stored permanently.
HSM
Hierarchical Storage Management. An HSM
archive system provides long-term storage of
data and access to data. Studies archived with
HSM are stored to a file system. A mount
point and subdirectory to store studies to is
specified. The HSM system handles data
storage.
HTTP
Hypertext transfer protocol, a TCP-based
protocol for transferring hypertext requests
and information between servers and
browsers.
HTTPS
Hypertext transfer protocol, secure—a URL
access method for connecting to http servers
using SSL (secure sockets layer).
I
image
A single frame taken by a modality. Certain
modalities, such as a CT, MRI, or PET, take
consecutive sets of images called series. Studies
are combinations of series or images for a
single patient.
IP address
The Internet Protocol address is a numeric
address that identifies the station to other
TCP/IP devices on the network.
L
log file
A file or set of files containing a record of the
actions and modifications made in an
application. Service teams use log files during
setup and configuration of the system or its
components. Logs are also used to diagnose
problems. Logging can typically be set to
record varying levels of detail.
M
modality
An imaging discipline, such as CT, or a device
that gathers digital information, such as
digitizers for X-ray film, MRI scanners, and
CR devices.
MVF_SCU
A process that handles store and retrieve jobs
for the PACS Store and Remember archive.
On IMPAX systems, it runs on the Network
Gateway.
N
network
A group of computers, peripherals, or other
equipment connected to one another for the
purpose of passing information and sharing
resources. Networks can be local or remote.
Network Gateway
The Network Gateway is part of the IMPAX
MVF cluster. Essentially, this is the workflow
manager of the IMPAX 6.0 and later system.
The Network Gateway controls the studies
