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:
1 Establish naming conventions that are agreed on by the sending and receiving sites.
2 Define storage folders for routed images at the receiving site and verify that the
sending site can access those folders.
3 Create 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.
