GE Medical Systems SIGNA PROFILE CONFORMANCE STATEMENT
REV 2.7 sm 2303347
doc ver 2.7 28
• A711 (Out of Resources) Indicates that probably there was not enough disk
space to store the image. The user should attempt recovery by removing
some images from the SIGNA PROFILE system.
• A712 (Out of Resources) Indicates that there was not enough resource (such
as memory) to store the image.
• A800 (SOP Class not supported)
In the event of a successful C-STORE operation, the image has successfully been
written to disk. The image will then be accessed in the same manner as any other
image by the applications on the SIGNA PROFILE system.
Images may be deleted when instructed to do so by the user. Thus the duration of
the storage of the image is determined by the users of the SIGNA PROFILE
system.
Image Installation
If the image installation is unsuccessful, a message will appear in the Message
Log informing the user of the failure and the image will be removed.
If the image installation process finds that an element is not encoded according to
the DICOM standard, it will fail to install the image and the file will be removed.
Image Installation of GE Created MR or CT Images
Images that were originally created on recent GE MR and CT scanners will be
converted from their native Advantage Proprietary Format to DICOM format for
transmission. If the images are stored as full fidelity representations and are
subsequently returned to recent GE scanners, then the images will be transformed
back to Advantage Proprietary Format.
There is an assumption made by such GE scanners:
The private element (0009,1001) is used as the full fidelity flag. If this flag
contains the string: “GE_GENESIS_FF” when received by a scanner, then it is
assumed that the image object was originally a GE created image object and
contains all private elements that it was sent with.
If full fidelity flag is present and not all the elements are sent back as sent (ie, not
full fidelity) there are 2 possible actions:
1. the translator will do its best to convert the image and will use default values
where DICOM fields are missing
2. If certain critical information is not provided then the image will be stored as a
screen save
It is strongly suggested that if GE private element (0009,1001) is present then all
GE private elements originally associated with the image be preserved.
Image Installation of non-GE Created MR or CT Images
Images received from non GE products are installed as appropriate image object
without any of their private data elements. Also if some critical fields (mandatory)
are missing, then the image will not be installed.
