determines if images at the destination are older than the number of days specified in RETENTION PERIOD. Images older than the specified number of days1 are deleted from the destination’s storage location.

For DICOM destinations, routed images are retained until they are deleted locally. The routing software will not delete images sent to DICOM destinations.

ÂRouted images are copies. The original image files are retained at the site where they were acquired.

1The age of a routed image is based on the transmission queue entry for that image, not on the date of the image file itself. Changes made to the date of the image file (such as those made by some anti-virus packages) will not affect when the image is deleted.
