Defining Imaging Destinations

The following sections explain how to define an Imaging (non-DICOM) destination for routing. In general terms, defining an Imaging destination breaks down into the following steps:

1Establish naming conventions that are agreed on by the sending and receiving sites.

2Define storage folders for routed images at the receiving site and verify that the sending site can access those folders.

3Create routing-specific entries in the NETWORK LOCATION File (#2005.2) at the sending site.

A destination definition worksheet is located on page 71.

Note: Imaging destinations are defined to support remote reading using VistARad. For information about defining a DICOM destination, see page 37.

Naming Conventions for Imaging Destinations

Before an Imaging destination is established, the sending and receiving sites should decide how to identify themselves to routing users.

The values that identify an Imaging destination are stored in the NETWORK LOCATION File (#2005.2) at the site where the Routing Gateway is installed. The values defined for the following should be related in some way.
