Glossary
This manual uses the following terms:
autorouting The automatic transmission of selected images to one or more destinations. Autorouting functions are managed using the Routing Gateway.
destination An intended recipient of routed images. Destinations can be Imaging destinations, such as VistARad workstations, or DICOM destinations, such as a film printer or external PACS (or any other DICOM Storage Service Class Provider).
DICOM TRANSMIT DESTINATION File (#2006.587) The FileMan file where information about DICOM destinations is stored. This file should not be edited directly; to update the contents of this file, use the DICOM Gateway to update the SCU_List.dic file.
evaluation processor The process responsible for handling entries in the rule evaluation queue. This process is started or stopped from the Routing Gateway, and executes from the VistA Host.
IMAGE BACKGROUND QUEUE File (#2006.03) The FileMan file where rule evaluation queue entries are stored. The IMAGE BACKGROUND QUEUE File contains entries used by various processes to move, copy, or delete images. The IMAGE BACKGROUND QUEUE File is populated by Image Gateways, and is used by both the Background Processor and the evaluation processor.
locks Used on a VistARad workstation prevent more than one radiologist from interpreting the same exam. If a radiologist opens a locked exam, they will be notified that the exam is locked, and while they can display the exam, they will be unable to update its status.
NETWORK LOCATION File (#2005.2) The FileMan file where routing destinations are defined. The NETWORK LOCATION File contains entries for all physical storage devices in the Imaging system.
receiving site The recipient of routed images. The receiving site provides either a storage folder (for Imaging destinations) or a DICOM Storage SCP (for DICOM destinations) for images to be routed to.
Route.dic The DICOM Gateway dictionary file used to store routing rules.
