DICOM Receive Server Print Application

Create graphical interface DICOM C-STORE Service Class Provider application that will accept patient study according to DICOM standard. Application will also need the capability to query and retrieve. Application will automatically initiate the coping of patient data to optical media using our existing software application. Application will automatically populate text fields using received DICOM tags received from said DICOM study for the creation of optical media label. Application will have mechanism of software licensing that prevents the unauthorized use and or installation of said application. SCOPE OF PROJECT 1. Requirements a. Application will be compliant to DICOM 3.0 standard and IHE Profile. b. Application will be developed for compatibility with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 operating systems. c. Application will be a self-installing application using an industry standard software installer. d. The application will be configurable to allow the specification of its AE title and port number through application’s graphical interface. e. Application will have the capability to perform DICOM query, retrieve, and receive according to DICOM standards. Options such as study transmission verification response will be configurable via graphical interface. f. The application will be configurable through graphical interface for AE titles, port numbers, and IP addresses of remote DICOM entities for query retrieve. g. Application will support the specification of DICOM tags to be utilized for optical media label printing through graphical interface. (See Fig.1) h. Application will provide graphical means of specifying placement of said DICOM tags for optical media label. (See Fig. 2) Application will also support the placement of user specified image or logo according to the limits of our application’s printing capabilities. i. Application will have the ability to query remote DICOM compliant entities for any of the DICOM tags that have been previously been specified. Once queried application will provide response back with complete patient information using tags specified previously. User will have the option of initiating patient study transmission or perform query for another study. j. User will have the capability of selecting multiple patient studies for the creation of job. k. Once study transmission has been initiated it will be placed in a job queue. l. Job queue will have a graphical interface that will allow the changing of job queue priority for each job. m. Application will process job with the highest priority first. n. Once application job is processed it will retrieve remote patient study or studies as specified by user and store them onto locally specified hard drive. o. Application will have capability to specify number of days patient studies will be stored on local hard drive. Application will automatically purge patient studies once number of days is reached as specified by user. p. If remote DICOM entity sends patient study to said application it will automatically store patient data on local hard drive and add study to job queue. User will have the ability to specify job priority for studies that are received from DICOM entries via AE title in the said application’s configuration menu. q. Execution of job: Job will be marked as in progress in job queue. Application will atomically copy patient study to optical media maintaining DICOM format standard for easy DICOM import compatibility. Application will also copy user supplied DICOM viewer with location specified in application configuration. Application will then initiate the printing of label for optical media. Once label printing is completed the job will be removed from job queue. r. Digitally editable DICOM Conformance statement will be provided by developer upon completion of development of said application. s. Detailed digitally editable manual will be provided by developer that will include screen shots of all configuration screens
