IntelePACS DICOM Conformance Statement (4.3.1 and ... - Intelerad

Implementation Model
A Master Database/Web does not provide local storage services to the PACS. All C-
FIND requests initiate a search of the local Master Database that contains records of
all studies stored in the PACS regardless of their current location. This provides a
convenient way for the IntelePACS user to query the entire PACS without having to
know where the data currently reside: short-term storage or long-term archive. It
allows the PACS to have a limitless number of storage devices while providing a single
DICOM-conformant access point.
The server will accept C-FIND and C-MOVE requests from any validated AE that
does not have the Allow Queries (C-FIND, C-MOVE) From This AE configuration
option disabled. On this type of server, C-MOVE requests are broken into a list of
series. For each series, the ‘best’ location is determined through one of a variety of
configurable algorithms based on storage type, e.g. short-term, long-term, (ONLINE
AVAILABILITY) and source location relative to destination (SITE AWARENESS).
If the data for a C-MOVE request are found on an available location in the PACS, the
server initiates a C-MOVE request to the current ‘best’ location for the data. The
server will then return an immediate response to the requester containing the following
information:
Successful sub-operations
Failed sub-operations
Remaining sub-operations
Destination entities for C-MOVE requests must be configured as a Storage SCP
3.2.3 Robotics Server AE
3.2.3.1 Verification
Refer to section 3.2.1.1.
3.2.3.2 Query/Retrieve
The Robotics Server AE supports only retrieve or C-MOVE services. Consequently,
all data requests must go through a Master Database/Web Server. This type of server
should never be queried by foreign Application Entities.
C-MOVE requests are added to a tape retrieval queue for processing by the retrieval
applications
3.2.4 Archive Cache Server AE
3.2.4.1 Verification
Refer to section 3.2.1.1.
3.2.4.2 Storage
Refer to section 3.2.1.2.
