How to configure the NanoSPECT’s DICOM Servers

First, open the Data Browser. Find the Repository panel and either select the pre-existing repository from the pulldown menu or select “new” to create a new repository.

For the standard access on the NS Workstation (WS), use:

Workstation DICOM Server
Workstation DICOM Server
Option Description
Displayed Name NSxxWS_DCMSRV (or customer’s preference)
Type DICOM Server
AET INVIVOSCOPE
Called AET NSxxWS_DCMSRV
Hostname localhost
Port 104

where xx is replaced with the NanoSPECT number, typically no leading 0 for numbers \< 10.

The local access VivoQuant is able to access the DICOM Server directly, so there is no need to add the VQ as a client on the DICOM Server.

The above table described configuring VivoQuant to access the Workstation DICOM Server. VivoQuant may also be configured to access the Acquisition computer’s DICOM Server. The procedure is similar, but there is no WS in the naming convention.

Acquisition computer's DICOM Server
Acquisition computer's DICOM Server
Options Description
Displayed Name ACQ_NSxx_DCMSRV (or customer’s preference)
Type DICOM Server
Calling AET INVIVOSCOPE
Called AET NSxx_DCMSRV
Hostname nanospectxx
Port 104

where xx is replaced with the NanoSPECT number, typically no leading 0 for numbers \< 10.

In place of hostname (i.e., nanospectxx), it is also possible to use IP addresses (i.e., 192.168.1.1 for local WS-ACQ computer connections). Please verify that the hostname resolves by using ping hostname in a Command window. Also, in order to access the ACQ computer from the WS computer, you must configure the DICOM Server on the ACQ computer.
