Third Party PACS Configuration

The DCV product line is very versatile and flexible in terms of its deployments.  It is capable of being able to support a wide range of deployment topographies from stand-alone computers to wide-range tiered replication networks.   The database can keep all data locally or can be set up to forward information onto other servers (either immediately or based on a schedule) and can even handle communication over periodic connections. 

Integration With Third Party PACS Systems Setup

3rd Party PACS Configuration

Even though the DCV PCs can operate directly with a 3rd party PACs system, the optimal solution is to integrate the DCV deployment to the PACs through a DCV Data Manager.  Not only does this setup permit optimal performance for each of the DCV PCs but additionally permits the DCV Data Manager to perform the work, data correction and data migration of the images to the 3rd party PACs.  Additionally the DCV Data Manager can automatically convert image modalities to those that are accepted by the 3rd party PACs (i.e. converting PX images to CR images).  Additional benefits to this setup come from the easy of setup of forwarding images to PACs systems.  Since most PACs systems required complex and time consuming setup and maintenance of accepted DICOM clients (especially in DHCP networks) the DCV Data Manager can be setup to act as a proxy connection to the PACs system itself communicating for all DCV PCs on their behalf.  This setup requires the IT staff to maintain a single entry on the PACs system for all DICOM communications even for hundreds of DICOM viewer workstations.
