GE Medical Systems SIGNA PROFILE CONFORMANCE STATEMENT

doc ver 2.7 21
Each C-STORE operation supports an “Association Timer”. This timer starts when
the association request is sent and stops when the association is established or
rejected. The time-out is configurable in dcs.cfg as bi_assoc_tio and defaults to 30
seconds.
Each C-STORE operation also supports an “Operation Inactivity Timer”. This
time-out starts once the first C-STORE request has been issued (on association)
or received and is reset each time a C-STORE response has been received or
when subsequent C-STORES are sent. This time-out is configurable in dcs.cfg as
bi_store_tio and defaults to 90 seconds.
Each C-STORE operation also supports a “Session Timer”. This timer starts when
the association is established and stops when the association is ended. This
time-out is configurable in dcs.cfg as bi_session_tio and defaults to 60 minutes.
If any of the three timers mentioned above expires, the connection is closed and
the operation in progress is considered failed.
When DICOM Server AE initiates an association to issue a C-STORE, one of the
following two operations will be performed:
If the image is stored locally on the SIGNA PROFILE in DICOM format (“Dic”
appears in the “Fmt” column at the exam level of the local database manager), the
image will be transmitted by the DICOM Server AE with the same elements as was
originally received or created locally (for the standard elements only).
If the image is stored locally on the SIGNA PROFILE in a non-DICOM Advantage
format (“Adv appears in the “Fmt” field at the exam level of the local database
manager), the image will be translated and then transmitted by the DICOM Server
AE to the identical profiles specified by the CT Advantage Conformance
Statement for DICOM v3.0 (Direction 2118781) and the MR Signa Advantage
Conformance Statement for DICOM v3.0 (Direction 2118782).
2.2.1.2.2 Query Remote AE
2.2.1.2.2.1 Associated Real-World Activity
The operator must first select a destination by choosing “Selected remote host:”
from “Network” pull-down menu on the local database manager and then choose a
hostname.
Provided that the operator had set “Custom search?” to “Off” when setting the
Remote host parameters, the “Query” operation will cause the DICOM Server AE
to initiate an association (with zero length Patient name, Patient id, Study date,
Accession number, and Study id) to the selected Remote AE when the “Receive”
entry is selected from the “Network” pull-down menu.
Otherwise, if the operator had set “Custom search?” to “On” when setting the
Remote host parameters, the “Query” operation will cause a Customize search
parameters menu to appear. The operator can enter values for Patient name,
Patient id, Study date, Accession number, and Study id. Not entering a value
means match on any value for that field. Patient name will match on any patient
name that contains what the operator entered. Patient id, Study id, and Accession
number will match on what the operator enters. For Study date, the operator
