MediaWorkStation connection option DICOM worklist

DICOM Worklist in combination with the MediaWorkStation Software Classic enables standardized image and information workflows to be securely managed and used between different systems in a medical context. PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System): A PACS is a digital archiving and communication system that stores, retrieves, and distributes medical imaging data. It facilitates access to medical images and their integration into workflows. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine): DICOM is an international standard for the storage, communication, and display of medical imaging data. It defines formats and protocols that ensure interoperability between different systems and devices. DICOM Worklist:

• A DICOM worklist is used to transmit worklists to imaging devices.
• It enables the automatic provision of patient data, examination information, and schedules on the relevant devices.
• The aim is to reduce manual entry, avoid errors, and make the workflow more efficient.

DICOM Store:

• DICOM Store is a function that enables the storage and transfer of medical imaging data and the associated information.
• Imaging devices send the generated data to the PACS for archiving and further processing via the DICOM Store interface.

Summary function:

• Access to a central worklist via the PACS so that patient data is integrated directly into the imaging devices.
• Storage of the generated medical images and their transfer to a PACS for later analysis, archiving, and use.

This functionality improves efficiency and accuracy in the medical workflow, reduces administrative effort, and ensures seamless integration of imaging data into clinical systems.
