How Autorouting Works
The following figure illustrates the transfer of automatically routed images to a VistARad workstation for remote reading. The processes outlined in this figure are explained in more detail below. (Apart from the destination, the same processes are used when autorouting images to a DICOM Storage SCP).

Identifying Images to be Autorouted
Autorouting begins with an Image Gateway. As it is processing newly acquired images, a properly configured Image Gateway will add
ÂIf the Image Gateway is not configured to add entries to the rule evaluation queue, the images being processed by the gateway cannot be autorouted. For more information, see page 44.
Each image referenced in the rule evaluation queue is checked against a set of
1The rule evaluation queue is a subset of the IMAGE BACKGROUND QUEUE file (#2006.03).
2The transmission queue is stored in the SEND QUEUE file (#2006.035).
