Indications For Use and Safety Concerns 

AquariusNET is intended to be used for review and analysis of volumetric medical imaging 

data acquired by CT or MR scanners. AquariusNET is part of a Class II medical device 

regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. 

NOTE: US Federal Law restricts use of this device to trained 

physicians, or other suitably qualified and trained personnel on the 

order of a physician. 

This AquariusNET is part of a sophisticated medical device, and as such MUST ONLY BE 

USED BY QUALIFIED AND TRAINED PERSONNEL. If you require training, please contact 

TeraRecon or a suitably qualified trainer. Please keep this documentation readily available 

near AquariusNET at all times, and please keep it updated with all corrections/addenda that 

may be released by TeraRecon from time to time. 

Please also be aware that patient information is restricted, private, and extremely 

confidential, and subject to stringent legal regulations - you should control access to the 

AquariusNET or patient data contained therein accordingly. 

Devices attached to this product must comply with their own applicable safety standards. 

Precautions Relating to General Use 

The AquariusNET software may allow images to be generated in which parts of the original 

scan data are obscured, removed (including but not limited to, through use of lossy 

compression), hidden, or modified. Similarly, output images and reports can be produced, 

saved, and annotated, with elements of the original acquisition omitted, obscured, modified, 

or hidden. Hence, careful and responsible use of the equipment and its output images 

requires that the user be aware of, and effectively communicate these important facts to, 

untrained or uninformed observers or recipients of the processed information. Please ensure 

that all processing has completed (including completion of any final stage subsequent to an 

intermediate stage of processing) before formulating a final interpretative decision. 

In certain situations, processing takes a brief time, but please ensure that all processing of 

whatever type has completed (including, for example, completion of any final stage 

subsequent to an intermediate stage of processing) before seeking to validate, or validating, 

a final interpretative decision. 

Precautions Relating To Display Hardware 

Please be aware that AquariusNET display is limited in acuity and color or grayscale depth to 

that of the display device used. Display hardware characteristics can vary widely. 

The judgment of the medical imaging professional is essential to reaching the appropriate 

conclusion from the results presented by the AquariusNET . 

Precautions Relating To Interpretation 

Please be aware that calculations relating to distances, volumes, centerline creations and 

other physical properties performed by AquariusNET are dependent in accuracy upon the 

correct information being supplied in the input DICOM images. It is the responsibility of the 

operator to ensure that inputted DICOM images are correctly formatted and to heed any 

AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H 

ii

warnings that the software may display during operation relating to potential problems with 

the information supplied in those DICOM images. 

Note further that, in certain instances, even though there may be problems or 

inconsistencies in the DICOM information, the AquariusNET will be unable to detect this, and 

erroneous image display will be unavoidable unless the user properly ensures the correctness 

of all input data in advance. Potential problems relating to errors in the DICOM information 

include incorrect dimensional readouts, incorrect orientation markings, and incorrect pixel 

value calibration. Three-dimensional imaging inherently offers a wide variety of different 

imaging views of any given dataset; it is an important responsibility of the operator to ensure 

that a proper visualization is achieved, and that a complete review of the data has been 

performed before reaching any diagnostic or interpretive conclusion relating to the dataset in 

question. Limitations present in the original input data (such as those relating to spatial and/ 

or temporal resolution, pixel size, and slice thickness) remain valid even when AquariusNET 

processes the data, and these provisos should be considered when using the equipment for 

image review. 

The image processing and display techniques offered by AquariusNET Thin Client are only 

intended as an adjunct to, and not a substitute for, conventional diagnostic review of medical 

imaging data. All results should be validated by qualified physicians trained in the 

subject matter. 

The Aquarius products provide tools and protocols to quantify metrics and distances relating 

to structures in the CT, MR or other scans or images which are based upon the dimensions of 

the anatomy scanned or imaged at the time the images were originally acquired from the 

patient, and based on the measurement calibrations provided by the acquiring device. The 

suitability for any particular purpose, especially monitoring the progression of disease, or the 

sizing or planning of a device to be implanted in a patient, is dependent upon many factors, 

including, but not limited to, the accuracy of the original acquisition, the extent to which the 

images acquired still represent the patient's anatomy, and the way in which the actual device 

deployment may modify the anatomy into which it is introduced. TeraRecon does not 

represent that the Aquarius products are suitable for such purposes - all such activities 

should always be cross-correlated with other techniques to ensure a complete understanding 

of the patient and contemplated procedure is obtained by the validating physician(s) in 

charge. 

Precautions Relating To Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machines 

Components or AquariusNET , including this document and its packaging or binding, may 

contain metallic or Ferro-magnetic components. Please ensure that no such component is 

introduced into the influence of magnetic fields from devices such as Magnetic Resonance 

Imaging Scanners, since injury or damage to equipment or property could occur. 

Precautions Relating To Risk Of Loss Of Data 

AquariusNET is not intended to be used as a primary archive for medical imaging data. This 

means that a secure copy of any data should be maintained in a location separate from the 

software, for example, in the scanner, in a PACS archive, or on archive media. Please do not 

rely on AquariusNET as your primary archive. 

In addition, do not rely on AquariusNET to convey data from its acquisition point to your 

primary archive, because in this configuration, a failure in AquariusNET could compromise 

iii 

AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H

your primary archive. Your primary archive should be maintained in a manner independent 

of, and not relying on, AquariusNET. 

Precautions Relating to Computer Software and Hardware: 

NOTE THAT THE INSTALLATION AND USE OF ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE 

COMPONENT WITHOUT THE SPECIFIC DIRECTION AND APPROVAL OF TERARECON, MAY 

IMPAIR THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRODUCT. HENCE, NO ADDITIONAL 

SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE COMPONENT SHOULD BE ADDED TO AquariusNET, NOR SHOULD 

THE CONFIGURATION BE CHANGED IN ANY WAY, EXCEPT UNDER THE EXPRESS DIRECTION 

OF TERARECON PERSONNEL. DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE IF IT IS DAMAGED, 

COMPROMISED, OR IF YOU IN ANY WAY SUSPECT THAT ITS SAFETY MAY HAVE BEEN 

COMPROMISED. IN THIS EVENT, CONTACT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE 

IMMEDIATELY.

AquariusNET Web Admin Guide Chapter 1 

Introduction 

Chapter 1: Introduction 

AquariusNET Web is a component of the AquariusNET product from TeraRecon, Inc. It offers 

secure access for system administrators and users to perform remote configuration and 

management of the system. 

Each AquariusNET user has an account on the system with a user name and password. All 

accounts belong to one or more groups. Groups are used to assign rights to groups of users. 

AquariusNET has three built-in groups: 

• AqNET_Public - This is a special group that makes studies assigned to it accessible to all 

users. 

• Administrators - This is a system administrator group that comes with a reserved user 

account named as “scan.” 

• Shared - This is a special group with a reserved user account named “shared”. 

AquariusNET Web has two types of admin pages, administrator and user. The administrator 

pages are available only to users belonging to the Administrators group. The user pages 

are available to all other users. 

From the AquariusNET administrator pages, administrators can manage user accounts, 

control the flow of DICOM images to and from AquariusNET, manage the sending image job 

queue, view log files, manage the server’s configurations; manage DICOM images on the 

server, control AquariusNET server services, reboot the server machine, send or download a 

server snapshot, view an audit trail and perform similar administrative functions. 

From the AquariusNET user pages, regular users can view which studies on the system are 

available to them, can modify series’ reading status, and define the default login group. 

All users can view the server status from the AquariusNET Web login page. Users can 

download the AquariusNET Thin Client viewer, Aquarius iNtuition (AQi) Client viewer, the 

AquariusNET client DirectX control, the Conference client and the report templates. 

AquariusNET Web provides secure access by requiring user authentication with a user name 

and password. In addition, AquariusNET Web supports https connections. 

NOTE: Preferred browsers are Internet Explorer 7.0 or 8.0, or Firefox 

3.0 or later. 

Accessing the Login Page 

You can access the Web Login page by entering the following in the address bar of your 

browser https://serverName, where “serverName” is the name or IP address of the 

AquariusNET Server node you want to connect to. 

1-1 AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H

Chapter 1 

Introduction 

When you access the AquariusNET server, the following dialog is displayed, indicating an 

apparent problem with the security certificate. This happens when the web site is opened 

using SSL. 

Figure 1.1: Security Alert 

To proceed, click Yes. The Web Login Page is displayed: 

AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H 1-2


Viewing the Server Status 

You can view the status of the AqNET server from the Login page. To do so, click the View 

Server Status button. The Server Status Viewer is displayed. For more details about the 

Server Status Viewer, see View Server Status on page 16-7. 

Downloads Available on the Login Page 

When you are connected to an AquariusNET Server, you can download the following without 

logging in: 

• ActiveX Control 

• Conference Client 

• Report Templates 

• AquariusNET Thin Client 

• AQi Client (Optional) 

• Managed DirectX V9.0c 

• Application Selector 

Downloading ActiveX Control 

ActiveX Control allows you to create interactive reports in Microsoft Word. To use this 

application, you need to install it on the client computer. Click the Download ActiveX 

Control button to download the installer. A dialog is displayed, asking whether you want to 

run the installer immediately (click Run) or save it on your hard disk (Save). 

Downloading the Conference Client 

The AquariusNET stand-alone conference application allows you to participate in conferences 

even if you do not have AquariusNET installed. 


Chapter 1 

Introduction 

Click the Download Conference Client button. A dialog is displayed asking you to confirm. 

If you are ready to install the Conference Client right now, click Run and follow the install 

instructions. Otherwise, click Save to save the installation program to your hard disk for later 

installation. 

Downloading Report Templates 

You can also download report templates from the "Login" page. To download interactive 

report templates, do the following: 

1. Click the Download Report Templates button. The Report Templates page is 

opened: 

Figure 1.2: Report Templates Page 

2. Download each file to your local computer, based on the given instructions. 

AquariusNET supports both interactive reports and simple reports. Interactive report 

templates include three files (ThinClientReport.doc, address.doc, logo.jpg) and simple report 

templates include two files (address.xml, and logo.jpg). Templates are used by the AQi and 

Thin Client viewers to create reports. Default versions of these files are installed with the 

viewer, so you do not need to download them unless you want to produce customized 

reports. In this case, the administrator must obtain customized versions of these files and 



install them on the server so users wishing to create customized reports can download them 

to their local computers. 

Note: This function may not be available for AquariusBLUE. 

Downloading the AquariusNET Thin Client 

You can run as many Thin Clients as your AquariusNET server can handle, so in a multi-user 

environment, this application can be very useful. 

Click the Download Thin Client button. A dialog is displayed asking you to confirm. If you 

are ready to install the Thin Client right now, click Run and follow the install instructions. 

Otherwise, click Save to save the installation program to your hard disk for later installation. 

Downloading the AQi Client (Optional) 

If you have purchased a license for the AQi Client, there should be a Download AQi Client 

button on the Login screen. Click the Download AQi Client button. A Windows dialog is 

displayed asking you to confirm. If you are ready to install the AQi Client right now, click Run 

and follow the install instructions. Otherwise, click Save to save the installation program to 

your hard disk for later installation. 

Enable Download 

If you have an AQi License, but there is no Download AQi Client button, this means that 

downloading AQi from the Login page is disabled. To enable this feature, you must login first 

and change a setting on the Web Server. See See Web Server Configuration on page 16. for 

complete instructions. 

Once this option has been set, log out of the server to display the Login page. The

Logging In 

Chapter 2: Logging In 

To log in to AquariusNET, do the following: 

1. Enter your username and password in the "Login" page. 

2. If needed, select a group name from the drop-down list. 

There are two types of account groups that can access the Web Admin page: 

AquariusNET Admin and AquariusNET User. If you have an Administrators account 

with a valid username and password (that is, if your group is Administrators), you can 

access the Admin functions. If your account is in any other group, your account is a User 

account. The AqNET_Public group is not shown in the group list. 

3. Click the Login button. 

The Admin Page 

TIP: If you belong to more than one group, it is a good idea to select a 

particular group to login. In the AquariusNET User page, you can also 

set up the default login group (please refer to Change Password on page 

16-1 for details). 

Once you have logged in, the AquariusNET Administrator page will be displayed, as shown 

below: 

Figure 2.1: The AquariusNET Admin Page 


Chapter 2 

Logging In 

For security purposes, regular user accounts will be disabled if users fail to login more than 5 

times (this is configurable in web server configuration). In this case, seek help from the 

administrator to enable your user account again. 

If the administrator user fails to login for more than 5 times, the user account will not be 

disabled but login will be blocked out for a period of time depending on web server 

configuration. 

An alert message (as shown in the 

image at right) may pop up if there is no 

SNMP monitor service installed in the 

server. Please determine whether it is 

necessary for the server to have a SNMP 

monitor installed. The alert dialog will 

not appear if you mark the checkbox in 

Figure 2.1 on page 2-1 (circled in red), 

and click Save. 

NOTE: This checkbox is cleared during the installation of AquariusNET 

Server. 

Please change the password for this account after the initial login. 

At this point, a new session for the administrator is created and will be valid until the 

administrator logs out. Please log out when you have finished using this page to prevent

Managing User Groups 

A user group is a collection of users with the same access rights. A user can be a member of 

more than one group. There are three default special groups AqNET_Public, shared and 

administrators under the built-in domain AQNet and the organization AQNet. 

• Administrators is a system administrator group that has the right to access all studies 

and can maintain the AquariusNET server through the AquariusNET Admin page. 

• Shared group is a regular user group that has the right to access all studies. All studies 

assigned to “AqNET_Public” group will be available to all users. When you log into a nonadministrator 

group, you can do the following: 

• View all available images. 

• Change their reading status. 

• Change their passwords. 

• Change the default login group. 

To manage user groups, do the following: 

1. Click on the link Manage Local Accounts from the navigation panel. 

2. Click on the User Groups link. The "Local User Group" page is displayed, as shown in

dialog is displayed. 

b. Click on the OK button to confirm deletion. This will remove all references to that user 

from the AquariusNET system. 

There are two special user accounts with usernames shared and scan. The shared user 

account belongs to the shared group and the scan user account belongs to the 

administrators group. 

NOTE: The "scan" user account cannot be deleted. Its group, status 

and password expiration date cannot be changed either. The 

passwords of "shared" and "scan" will never expire. "Shared" is a 

reserved user account and its password can only be changed by 


Chapter 3 


administrators. "AqNET_Public" is a special group and will not be 

displayed in the user group table. 

CAUTION: Deleting a user account will disable web access for that 

user, and remove that user’s ability to connect to the AquariusNET 

server through the ThinClient Viewer. 

Tips on entering user information 

A valid email address is a string that contains one or more characters before and after @ with 

no spaces. 

The new password must have at least six characters and contain a combination of alpha [a-z, 

A-Z, _] and numeric [0-9] characters. It should not be the same as the old password, or the 

username. The format of password expiring date is mm/dd/yyyy. 01/01/1900 is a special 

date. A password will never expire if password expiring date is set to 01/01/1900 or the 

checkbox Never is marked. 

NOTE: Inactive regular user accounts may be disabled automatically 

depending on the inactivity interval defined in the web server 

configuration. Administrators can enable the inactive user’s account 

by resetting user’s status to "Enabled". 



Chapter 4: Domain Accounts Management 

Domain Accounts Management allows you to use an existing external domain server to 

perform AquariusNET user authentication and authorization. Any new domains added from 

these pages should be validated against the active directory or LDAP server. 

Enabling Domain Accounts Management 

If the Manage Domain Accounts link is not visible in the navigation panel, you must enable 

the Single Sign On (SSO) option. To do this, do the following: 

1. Click the Manage Server Configurations link in the navigation panel (see figure 

below). A sub-menu is displayed underneath. 

Figure 4.1: Server Option link 

2. Click the Server Option link. The "Server Option" page is displayed in the right panel. 

Figure 4.2: Server Option Page 

3. Change the value of Enable Single Sign On to 1 (see figure above). 


Chapter 4 

Domain Accounts Management 

4. Click Save. 

The Manage Domain Accounts link should now be visible. 

Typical Domain Management 

In the majority of cases, domain management in AqNET is straightforward. There are two 

tasks that must be performed: 

• Add the domain. 

• Import the domain’s user groups. The domain server has this information. 

Adding a Domain 

1. Click the Domains link in the navigation panel. The Domain page is displayed: 

Figure 4.3: The Domain Manager Page 

2. Click the Add New button at the bottom of the page. The page for adding a domain is 

displayed (see the following figure): 



3. Select the Active Directory radio button under Domain is Hosted by. 

4. Enter the domain name. 

5. Enter the host name or IP address of the LDAP Server. 

6. If desired, enter a domain description. 


Note: Usually, you do not need to check the Apply Group Map Filter 

box. 

Importing Domain User Groups 

1. Click the Domain Groups link in the navigation panel. The Domain User Group page is 

displayed: 

2. Click the Import button. The import block is displayed below: 


Chapter 4 


3. Select the domain name from the Domain pulldown menu and click the Search button. 

The list of all domain user groups on the selected domain are displayed in the left window 

below. 

Note: If this list is very long, you can shorten it by typing a portion of 

the name in the Group Name filter field, so that only group names 

containing the string typed in will be displayed. Click the Search 

button to display groups that match the filter. 

4. From the list in the left window, select the names of groups to be imported, and click the 

right-pointing double arrow button ( ) located between the two windows. Alternatively 

you can double-click the group name to move it to the right window. 

5. When all the necessary user groups are listed in the right window, click the Import 

button. 

Managing Special Domains 

Some domains may be configured or structured differently from the typical domain, and 

imported domain user groups may not work as you expect them to. In that case, you can use 

the domain user group mapping logic provided in the AqNET Web Admin. Users will need to 

be mapped to groups through one or more domain group map filters. 

These steps should be performed in the following order: 

1. Create the domain. 

2. Create user groups. 

3. Create domain group map filters. 



4. Create domain group maps. 

Creating a Domain 

The instructions for creating a domain are as described in "Adding a Domain" on page 4-2. 

However, it is also necessary to check the Apply Group Map Filter box before saving: 

Creating Domain User Groups 

You can create user groups that do not exist on the domain. You can also use imported user 

groups. However, user memberships in the domain will not be recognized if Apply Group 

Map Filter is checked. 

1. Click the Domain Groups link in the navigation panel. The Domain User Group page is 

displayed: 

2. Click the Add New button. The input block for adding new groups is displayed below: 


Chapter 4 


Figure 4.4: The Domain User Group Page 

3. Under Adding New User Group, do the following: 

a. Select the organization from the Organization pulldown menu. 

b. Select the domain from the Domain pulldown menu. 

c. Enter a name for this group in the Group Name field. 

d. If desired, enter a description. 

4. Check all appropriate items in the User Group Rights list. These rights are the same as 

those used to configure user groups. For a description of each right, see Table 1, “User 

Group Rights,” on page 3-3. 

5. In the input box labeled Auto Logout Time (minutes), enter the number of minutes 

the client is allowed to be inactive before the user is automatically logged out. 

6. Click Save when finished. 

Creating a Map Filter 

A map filter consists of a group of rules, each of which compares the value of an attribute in 

the user profile to the value specified in the rule. The filter can have as many rules as 

necessary. If each rule is satisfied, then the user has passed the filter. If any rule is not 

satified, the user does not pass the filter. 



1. Click Domain Group Map Filters in the navigation panel. The following page is 

displayed: 

2. Click the Add New Map Filter button. A new input block is displayed in the middle 

section of the page: 

3. Enter a filter name in the Fiilter Name text box. 

4. Click the Add Rule button. The input fields for the first rule are displayed. 


Chapter 4 


Figure 4.5: Domain Group Map Filter Rules 

5. Select a user attribute from the pulldown menu. If the attribute you need is not in the list, 

you can add it by using the Domain User Attribute browser (located in the bottom 

portion of the screen) to perform a search for the list of attributes associated with the 

user. 

Figure 4.6: Domain User Attribute Browser 

a. Select the domain name from the pulldown menu. 

b. The text that appears in the Search filter box is a template of a search filter. You 

need to substitute sqa (at the end of the string) with the username you are searching 

for. For example, if the username is “smith”, the search string should read as follows: 

(&(objectClass=person)(samaccountname=smith)) 

You can also change other parts of the template if appropriate for your domain 

configuration. 

c. Click the Apply button. A list of the search results are displayed on the screen just 

below the Domain User Attribute browser. The list includes all of the available 

attributes in this domain that are associated with the username. 

d. Find the required attribute in the list, and enter it in the User Attribute text box, 

located in the middle of the screen (see Figure 4.5 on page 4-8). 

e. Click the Add New User Attribute button. The attribute now appears in the Attribute 

pulldown menu in the Rules section. 



f. Select the attribute from the menu. 

6. Select a comparator from the second pulldown menu. 

7. Enter the value that will be compared to the user’s value for this attribute. 

8. To add another rule, go back to step 4. and repeat all the steps for adding rules. Continue 

until all necessary conditions have been added to the filter. 

9. When the filter is complete, click Save. 

Creating Domain Maps 

The domain map associates a user with a domain group, using a map filter to determine 

whether the user is qualified for a group or groups. 

To create a domain map, click the Domain Group Maps link in the navigation panel. The 

Domain Group Maps page is displayed: 

1. Select the domain from the Domain Name pulldown menu. 

2. Select the filter from the Filter Name pulldown menu. 

3. Checkmark all groups in the Group Name list with which the user will be associated. 

4. Click Save when finished.

Chapter 4 




Chapter 5: DICOM Node Management 

The AquariusNET server must be connected to a DICOM device in order to receive data. This 

is referenced from within AquariusNET by the local DICOM node (which may also be referred 

to as an Application Entity or AE). AquariusNET must also be connected to an remote DICOM 

node to communicate with other devices. This section explains how to set up the DICOM 

nodes. 

Note: it is also necessary to configure the scanner or other modality 

where the data originates, so that the device has the correct network 

information for the destination device. 

Managing Remote Nodes 

The AquariusNET server uses the DICOM protocol to communicate with external (or remote) 

devices (including other AquariusNET servers) about imaging studies. AquariusNET requires 

four pieces of information to identify a node: Title, Hostname, IP address, and Port Number. 

While either a hostname or an IP address is normally sufficient to identify a physical machine 

on a network, AquariusNET needs both. The hostname is preferable because it is easier to 

remember, but it is not always available, or it might be mapped incorrectly. The combination 

of the AE Title and port number must be unique in order to distinguish among multiple 

DICOM-aware applications that may be running on the same physical machine. 

AquariusNET can do the following with remote DICOM nodes: 

• Query and retrieve series from external nodes (C-FIND/C-MOVE SCU) 

• Forward series to external nodes (C-STORE SCU) 

• Service query and retrieve requests from external nodes (C-FIND/C-MOVE SCP) 

• Service storage requests from external nodes (C-STORE SCP) 

To add, modify or delete an inbound remote DICOM node, click on the Manage DICOM 

Nodes link from the navigation panel. The "DICOM Nodes" page will be displayed (see Figure 

5.1). 

Figure 5.1: The DICOM Nodes page

fields are required. 

Optionally, you can select an AE Type and add a description of the remote node. 

c. If you are adding this node so that you can push data to it, do the following: 

1. Check the box labeled Host can push data to this node (for C- 

store). (See Figure 5.2.) A list of available user groups is displayed below this 

item. These restrict access to the ability to push data to users who are members 

of certain user groups. 

2. Check the box for the user group (or groups) that need to have this access. 

d. Click on the Save button when done. 

Editing a remote node

c. Click on the OK button to confirm deletion. 

Managing Local Nodes 

The local DICOM node of the AquariusNET server can be inbound or outbound. 

Inbound local nodes are offered as a solution to the workflow problem that exists when a 

large number of images are sent to a single server using DICOM, but are intended for review 

by specific groups of users or for further auto routing. Inbound local nodes can be used as 

one of the DICOM Tags to set up tag filter. Tag filters can be associated with user groups, 

integrated into a routing pattern, or integrated into a pre-fetch pattern. A more full 

description of these topics can be found at the following links: 


Chapter 5 


Subject 

Link to Description 

Tag Filters "The Tag Filter Manager" on page 8-3 

User Groups "Auto Assignment" on page 8-5 

Routing Patterns "Auto Routing Advanced" on page 8-16 

Pre-Fetch Patterns "Auto Pre-Fetch" on page 8-9 

The AquariusNET server has two reserved inbound local nodes: 

• AUTOVOX (this is a reserved name, and is not for general use) 

• _AE 

is the AquariusNET server’s hostname in upper case. _AE 

may be truncated if its length is more than 16 characters. If no other inbound local nodes are 

created, images can always be sent to the reserved inbound local node. This name is 

displayed in the Title field of the default local inbound node in the "DICOM Nodes" page (see 

": The DICOM Nodes page" on page 5-1). 

The default outbound local node of AquariusNET server is: -AQNET, where 

is the AquariusNET server’s hostname in lower case. -AQNET 

may be truncated if its length is more than 16 characters. This name is displayed in the Title 

field of the default local outbound node in the "DICOM Node" page (see Figure 5.1 on page 5- 

1). 

The Outbound local node of the AquariusNET server is used to query/retrieve from external 

DICOM servers. This outbound local node is required to be set up as the remote node in an 

external DICOM server, if the external DICOM server is willing to grant the query/retrieve 

rights to the AquariusNET server. 

To add, modify or delete an inbound local node, click on the Manage DICOM Nodes link 

from the navigation panel. The "DICOM Nodes" page will be displayed (see Figure 5.1). 

Adding a new local DICOM node 

a. Click on the Add New Local Node button at the bottom of the page. The page for 

adding a local node is displayed, as shown in Figure 5.4 on page 5-5: 



Figure 5.4: Add a New Local DICOM Node 

b. Enter the local node information in the relevant fields, keeping the following in mind: 

• The logical name must be unique. 

• The combination of AE title and port must be unique. 

• The port number displayed here refers to the port that the AquariusNET DICOM 

Server is listening on, and cannot be changed here. (For instructions on how to 

change this port, see "DICOM Server Configuration" on page 12-5). 

c. If this node will be configured to auto-route data uploaded with the iUploader application, 

check the box labeled Auto routing by iUploader. An input block is opened 

below this checkbox. 

1. Enter the hostname and IP address of the node where the data will be autorouted. 

These fields are required.

Retry 

Suspended 

Succeeded 

Canceling 

Cancelled 

Not Applicable 

Expired 

Failed 

Description 

When a slot is available, the job is executed and is moved to this 

queue. 

The job is waiting to be executed. 

The job has just been created. 

If the job fails, it is moved to this queue, where it will be executed 

again. 

The user has suspended the job. 

The job has been completed successfully. 

The job has been cancelled by the user and the job manager is in 

the process of canceling it. 

The job has been cancelled by the Job Manager. 

Jobs can be rejected as “not appicable” in two ways. One is that 

when the job is dependent on another job that has failed, this 

job is automatically marked as “not applicable” without execution. 

The second is when the input data is not applicable to a 

particular processor. 

For Prefetch and Retrieve jobs. If they were never run, they will 

expire after a certain amount of time. 

If the job has been retried a certain number of times and has not 

succeeded, it is moved to this queue. 

Operations on Queues 

These are tasks that can be performed on queues that are selected in the filter. Depending on 

which queues are selected, some functions may not be applicable.

Tag Filters 

NOTE: If you delete a tag, tag filters rules that reference this tag may 

also be deleted. Please exercise caution when deleting tags. 

A tag filter is a set of rules used to apply processing selectively to some, but not all incoming 

DICOM data. The filter divides the data into two bins - those that pass the filter, and those 

that do not. Only the data that passes through the filter will be processed. 

Tag filters are used in five AquariusNET features: auto series assignment, auto filming, auto 

prefetch, auto routing, and advanced processing. To use tag filters with these functions, first 

create tag filters from the "Tags" page, and then go to the relevant sub-sections under 

Manage Workflow in the navigation panel. 

A tag filter rule consists of a DICOM tag, a comparator, and a tag value. There are four 

comparators: “is”, “is not”, “contains”, and “doesn’t contain”. The tag input value is case 

insensitive. The Logical operator AND will be applied between any and all pairs of rules 

within the filter. 

The steps required for setting up tag filter include creating tag filters and associating filters 

with user groups. Filtering is accomplished by comparing the values of certain DICOM tags in 

the incoming data with expected values as specified in the tag filter. 

Default Tag Filters 

The AquariusNET Server provides a number of default tag filters related to Advanced 

Processing. These can be used to send studies to different DICOM servers based on the body 

part, modality, or Clinical Protocol. 

The Tag Filter Manager 

To manage filters, click on the Manage Workflow link in the navigation panel, and then click

4. At the bottom of the page, click the Associate Tag Filter to Selected User Groups 

button. 

Figure 8.7: Associating a Tag Filter with User Groups 

Assigning a Primary User Group to User Groups 

This feature allows you to associate two or more user groups together, so that they can share 

some of the same privileges automatically. This association would allow members of all user 

groups in the assignment to access the same data. One of the groups must first be 

designated as the primary user group. This group can then be assigned to other groups. 

Once this operation is completed, all user groups that the primary group is assigned to will 

automatically receive the same data access privileges as the primary user group. This 

assignment should be made according to the needs of your institution. 

Note that initially, the two lists (Primary and User Groups) are identical. 



To assign a primary user group to other user groups, do the following: 

1. Click on one group in the Primary User Groups list to select it. 

2. Select any number of groups from the User Groups list to be associated with the 

primary group. (It will not be possible to assign a group itself, because as soon as you 

select a primary group, that entry is removed from the User Groups list.) 

3. When done, click the Associate Primary User Group to User Groups button. 

Auto Filming 

Auto Filming allows you to print automatically any incoming DICOM data that passes the 

configured tag filters. You can configure which printer and format to use.

Auto Pre-Fetch 

Auto Pre-Fetch is a feature of AquariusNET that is used to locate and retrieve related prior 

exams automatically. AquariusNET can be configured so that additional studies for the same 

patient (based on Patient ID) are retrieved automatically after a study is received. 

Prefetch rules govern under which conditions, from where, and how much data to retrieve. 

Each rule is shown on the Prefetch Rule list as a single row. A rule has two main parts: 

• Tag Filter 

The Tag Filter applies specific DICOM Tag-based criteria to the incoming data. Only data 

that pass the tag filter will generate a prefetch request. You must define the tag filters 

before you can use them here (see The Tag Filter Manager on page 8-3). 

• QR Source DICOM Node 

The DICOM QR Source Node list specifies the DICOM servers that will be searched to 

locate and retrieve the additional studies. You must add the DICOM nodes before you can 

use them here (see "Configuring Remote DICOM Nodes" below). 

Configuring Remote DICOM Nodes 

The QR Source DICOM Node list specifies from which DICOM servers to attempt to locate and 

retrieve the additional studies. These AEs are chosen from a list of AE's previously defined. 

The Post filters dictate how much (and what kind) of data to retrieve. They can be used to 

limit the modality, age and number of studies retrieved. 

To configure a remote device for prefetch, do the following: 

1. Open the "DICOM Nodes" page (see Managing Remote Nodes on page 5-1), and add or 

edit the remote device. 

2. Check the box labeled "Host can query/retrieve data from this node (for C- 

Find/C-Move)" (circled in Figure 8.10 below). 


Chapter 8 


Figure 8.10: Add Remote DICOM Node Screen 

3. On the remote device, configure the following settings: 

a. Add one remote node, having the AE Title of “_AE” (where localhost is the 

name of your local AqNET Server). 

b. Add a second node having the AE Title of "-AQNET". This node must have 

Q/R permission, and the same port as the incoming (SCP) port of the remote device. 

Managing Prefetch Patterns

Auto Publish allows you to configure categories of data, based on tag filters, which will be 

automatically published when they are pushed to the AqNET Server. When a tag filter is 

added to the auto publishing manager, all studies that pass that tag filter will be 

automatically published when they are received by the AqNET Server. 

Click the Auto Publish item in the navigation panel, under Manage Workflow. The Auto 

Publish screen is displayed, as shown in the following figure: 

When there are no tag filters associated with the Auto Publish manager, the filters list is

Chapter 11 


Reclaim disk space 

When a Delete Selected Data is performed, that data’s entry in the main database table is 

moved to the deleted database table. However, the data itself is not removed from the disk. 

Reclaim disk space removes the data associated with all entries in the deleted data table, 

and also removes those entries from the table. This is a permanent deletion. 

To peform this deletion, click the Reclaim disk space button. This function does not require 

any other action. 

Anonymize Studies 

DICOM images contain private identifying information such as a patient’s name, date of birth, 

etc. Anyone who wishes to publicly transmit or make available a patient’s images for any 

purpose must take the responsibility of removing the identifying information from the images 

to protect the privacy of the patient. 

To anonymize and distribute images, do the following: 

1. Click the Manage Studies link in the Navigation panel. Select Anonymize from the 

sub-menu list below it. 

The "Study List" page will be displayed (see Figure 11.1 on page 11-1). The Anonymize 

tab (see below) is active by default, because you selected Anonymize from the navigation 

panel. 

2. Select the study or series to be anonymized by clicking on it in the study or series list. 

3. Enter the new Patient Name. If you do not enter anything in this field, a name will be 

randomly generated. 

4. If you want to enter a new Patient ID, check the New Patient ID checkbox. A field is then 

displayed for you to type in a Patient ID of your choosing. 

5. Check New Study/Series/SOP Instance UIDs if you want new UIDs to be generated. 

6. Select the function to perform. There are three functions available for anonymized 

studies: 

• Download to Local Disk - A final .cab (compressed archive) file will be created that 

may contain multiple sub-cab files. Please wait for the “File download” dialog to 

appear. It may take a few minutes for the server to create the .cab files, depending on 



the number and size of data sets you selected. You might miss the chance to 

download this .cab file if you send another request before this dialog is displayed. 

• Push back to Server AquariusNET - All anonymized data sets will be pushed back 

to the server as new datasets. 

• Upload to Terarecon - The default ftp site is “Terarecon”. Other ftp sites can be 

configured by unmarking the checkbox and entering ftp address, username, password 

and port (see the following figure). A dialog will pop up to ask if it is required to send 

a notification email. Please do so to inform the site of the presence of and purpose for 

the uploaded images. 

7. Click the Anonymize button. The server will start anonymizing the selected studies, and 

a progress bar will be displayed. 

A single .cab file for each series will be created for downloading and uploading. The name of 

the cab file is the combination of the server name, the current time, and the modality of the 

data set. To open a .cab file, double-click on it. 

Assign Studies 

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not select too many data sets in 

each operation. The more data sets you select, the more resources 

(CPU and disk space) will be needed from the server. 

The only studies you can view are those to which you have been granted access. You can 

obtain access to a study in one of two ways: 

• Images are pushed to a local AE Title that has been associated, through a tag filter, with 

one of the groups you belong to. 

• The administrator assigns the studies to one of the groups you belong to. 

To assign studies to a group, do the following: 

1. Click the Assign link in the navigation panel. The Assign Studies page is displayed, as 

shown in the following figure: 


Chapter 11

3. Select one or more user groups from the User Group list. 

4. Click Assign Selected Data to Selected Groups. 

Unassign Studies 

In some cases, it may be necessary to remove viewing rights from certain user groups. 

To unassign series froma group, do the following: 



1. Click the Unassign link in the navigation panel. The Unassign Studies page is displayed 

(see Figure 11.9). 

Figure 11.9: Unassign Studies 

2. Select one or more studies from the Study List.

Chapter 11 


2. Select one user from user account list. 


4. Click Mark as Read or Mark as Unread, as desired. 

Managing Series 

Most of the above described functions can be performed on series as well as on studies. To 

view series, do the following: 

1. In any page that displays the Study List, check the Show Series checkbox at the top of 

the page (see the following figure). 

2. Initially, the Series List is empty. To display series, select one or more studies from the 

Study List. This populates the Series List at the bottom of the page. All series belonging 

to the selected studies are listed in the Series List (see Figure 11.11). 

Figure 11.11: The Series List 

3. Follow the instructions for the desired operation, described above, referring to items in 

the Series List rather than in the Study List. 



Chapter 12: Server Configurations 

The functions described in this chapter can be found under the Manage Server 

Configurations link in the Navigation panel. Use the following links to jump to the 

corresponding section: 

Client Exemptions

Web Server 

Auto Deletion 

There are two ways to delete data set from the AquariusNET server: 

• Manual deletion (please refer to the section Deleting/locking series or through the 

Thin Client Viewer). 

• Auto deletion as described here. 

Auto Deletion will start automatically, based on task scheduler (AQNetAutoDeletion). It will 

try to delete all aged data sets (except templates and locked series) on the server based on 

the configuration parameters: Age in days (Receive Time and Access Time) and High 

Watermark. 

Age of the data set is determined by the difference between today’s date and the date when 

the data set was received or accessed (via DICOM). For example, if the configuration 

parameter age is set to 10 days, Auto Deletion will delete all data sets (except templates and 

locked series) older than 10 days when it starts, if the high watermark option is unselected. 

If the high watermark option is selected, aged data sets (except templates and locked series) 

will be deleted only if free disk space on RAID devices is lower than high watermark. 

Default AQNetAutoDeletion task scheduler will be created when the AquariusNET server is 

installed for the first time. Upgrading the AquariusNET server will not overwrite the existing 

task scheduler. The age value in the default AQNetAutoDeletion task scheduler is 0, which 

means no data sets will be deleted from the server when Auto Deletion wakes up. Default 

AQNetAutoDeletion task scheduler will wake up daily at 4 am with the high watermark option 

unselected. 

To manage the "Auto Deletion" page, do the following: 

1. Click on the link Manage Server Configuration from the Admin page. 

2. Click on the Auto Deletion link. The "Auto Deletion" page will be displayed with the 

Schedule Auto Deletion tab active, as shown below.

CAUTION: Please use caution when setting up the “Age” parameter 

and the high watermark option since all data sets, once been deleted 

when Auto Deletion runs, will not be recovered. 



Client Exemptions 

This feature is used to maintain a list of client host computers that are exempt from certain 

restrictions on access to published data on the AqNET server. The exemptions include the 

following: 

• Idle timeout exemption - the amount of idle time allowed before the client’s connection 

times out. 

• The authentication requirement - allows a user to view published data on the AqNET 

server from a web browser on the exempt client computer. 

To add an exemption, do the following: 

1. Click Add New Client. The Client Info screen is displayed, as shown below: 

2. Enter the client’s host name or IP address in the Host Name field. 

3. Add a description if desired (optional). 

4. Check the appropriate exemption (either one or both). 


Database Shrink 

The AquariusNET server uses Microsoft Data Engine ("MSDE") to support its database activities. 

MSDE can only support database with a limited size. Periodically shrinking the database 

is required to reduce its size so that more data sets can be inserted. 


Chapter 12 


To manage database shrink, do the following: 

1. Click on the link Manage Server from the Admin page. 

2. Click on the Database Shrink link. The "Database Shrink" page is displayed, as shown in

associations that the AquariusNET DICOM Server will accept. The default value is 10. 

Time Limit for Inactivity (0 – 36000): Number of seconds of inactivity over an open 

association before the DICOM Server closes the association. The default value is 3600 sec. 

Time Out for Series Completion (0 - 300 sec.): When the AquariusNET DICOM server 

receives images, it builds a cache of the series for optimizing load time. This value controls 



how long the DICOM server waits before it assumes that all of the images in a series have 

been transmitted. On a very busy PACS network, this value may need to increase so as to 

avoid frequent timeouts on image sends. However, long wait will be excepted if it is set too 

high. The default value is 20 sec. 

Time Out for Writing Message (0 - 600 sec.): Time to wait when writing a message out 

of an open association before moving on. The default value is 300 sec. 

Time Out for Reading Message (0 – 60 sec.): Time to wait when reading a message out 

of an open association. This is used to tune DICOM messaging performance on busy 

networks. If the value is set too high, users can experience long waits; if it is too low, 

requests may timeout. The default value is 30 sec. 

Max. Number of Threads Allowed (25 - 1000): Total number of threads allowed during

Host Configuration 

In most situations, you need not change the host configuration. However, in some cases, if 

DNS is not available, then IP addresses must be used for identifying remote hosts. If this is 

not convenient, this page can be used to map IP addresses to the hostname. 

To view or update host settings, do the following: 

1. Click on the Host link. The "Host" page is displayed, as shown in Figure 12.5. 

2. Update the page if needed. 


Figure 12.5: The Host Page 

Watermark Configuration 

Low and high watermarks are two configuration parameters to control the server’s disk space 

manager. When the amount of disk space available goes down to the “High Watermark”, the 

server software starts to delete the cached files to make space whenever it receives new 

data. When the disk space available reaches the “Low Watermark” then the server stops 

accepting any new data. 



To view or change watermark configuration, do the following: 

1. Click on the Media Watermark link. The "Media Watermark" page will be displayed, as 

shown in Figure 12.6 on page 12-11.

Description 

This is used to define the Code Page type in the 

database, which is defined by which character set 

is used. This value is used in query/retrieves on 

other DICOM servers. Select the appropriate 

character set from the pull-down menu. 

When DICOM nodes are grouped together, this 

setting indicates which type of group it is: Round 

Robin, Backup or None Cluster (the server is not 

part of a cluster). 

Round Robin: Each server is designated as the 

node to receive and route data, alternating in a 

circular fashion. 

Backup: Backup groups can have only two nodes. 

One server is designated as primary, and all data 

will be routed through it. The backup server will 

be used only if the primary is not operating. 

Outbound AE title assigned by default, based on 

the computer name. 

Inbound DICOM server AE title assigned by 

default, based on the computer name. 

Set to 1 to enable the audit trail 

This is the maximum average size for each database 

record. If the average size of a record in the 

real database becomes larger than this number, it 

may indicate fragmentation in the database. A 

warning will be posted in that case.

NOTE: You need to restart the Web Admin program for the Audit Trail 

function to work. 

Server Redirection 

The Server Redirection feature allows you to configure a user group so that an upload of data 

performed by users belonging to that group, using the iUploader client, is sent directly to the 

specified destination server. No data is uploaded to the original server. This configuration is 

called a destination server map. 



A user group can have more than one destination server map. In that case, data uploads are 

redirected to all destination servers configured for that user group. 

The configuration pages for server redirection can be reached from the navigation panel. 

Click the Server Redirection link to display the two sub-links. 

Destination Servers 

Before configuring user groups with destination server maps, you need to add servers to the 

destination servers list. To add and configure a new destination server, do the following: 

1. Click the Destination Servers navigation link. 

2. Click the Add New button. The following screen is displayed: 

3. Enter the logical name, host name and IP address of the destination server (required). 

The server type, region and description are all optional. 

4. Click Add. The added server is displayed in the Destination Servers list. 


Chapter 12 


User Group Destination Server Maps 

This screen allows you to map user groups to destination servers. To display the screen, click 

the User Group Destination Server Maps link from either the navigation panel or from the 

top of the Destination Server screen: 

To map a user group to a server, do the following: 

1. Click Add New. The list of user groups and the list of destination servers are displayed, 

as shown below. 



2. Select one or more user groups from the User Group list by checking the box on the left. 

3. Select one or more destination servers from the Destination Servers list. 

4. Click Add. 

Each selected group will be mapped to each of the selected servers. 

For example, from the user groups and servers shown in the previous image, if you were to 

select the regular and shared groups from the User Group list and then to select both 

servers from the Destination Servers list, the result would be as follows: 

Each user group that was selected is now mapped to both of the selected servers.
