In the initial configuration of MedITEX software it is necessary to set a DICOM identifier for treatments which involve ultrasound examination. The configuration of DICOM Identifier has to be done in MedITEX Scheduler. DICOM identifier "US" has to be set for all ultrasound examinations: in this way MedITEX will know which appointments involve an ultrasound examination, and will send work-lists for these appointments to ultrasound devices accordingly.

 

Configuration

On the top menu in MedITEX Scheduler, go to System -> Settings -> Treatments.

Usage

1. When starting an examination on the ultrasound device, search for the patient in the work-list.

2. Switch the search mode of the ultrasound device to “Worklist”.

3. All patients with treatments containing a DICOM identifier will be listed.

4. Select the patient and begin work as usual.

After the examination is finished, the ultrasound images will be transferred automatically to MedITEX IVF and will be available in the Overview tab for the cycle, if it exists. If no cycle exists on the examination date, images will be saved in the Female examination section of MedITEX IVF.
