Figure 9-7 DICOM Settings
Local AE Title: Any 16 characters that uniquely identify this system on your DICOM
network. The default “EDAN_STR_SCU” will work unless you have multiple Edan
systems on your network.
Time Out, Transfer Syntax: These determine how the DICOM messages are configured.
The AX8 default settings are common, and you will typically not have to change them. If
Ping works, but Verify does not, you may need to review the conformance statement of your
server to determine the proper settings for these.
DICOM Store: Determines when DICOM images and clips are sent to the server. The
options are:
 Transfer on demand: Images and clips are only sent when you manually send them.
When there is no exam in progress the Review hard key will show a list of all exams
on the hard drive. Select an exam and press the Send button at the bottom of the
screen.
 Auto-Transfer when Store: Each image or clip is sent automatically when it is
captured. This has the advantage that images and clips are immediately available
for review at the server while the exam is in progress. It has the disadvantage that,
due to the nature of DICOM, images that are already sent can not be deleted from the
server from the AX8.
 Auto Transfer when End Exam: Images and clips are sent automatically when the
exam is ended. This is the most common setting.

as an empty list, and grows as servers are added. Most sites will only use one server, but if
the system is moved between locations then multiple servers may be entered. Clicking in any
field in this list will select that server. Depending on the exact level of software a second
click may be needed to edit that field. The fields are:
