MedITEX DICOM Server (MDS) has 2 main tasks:

  • Communication with ultrasound devices to retrieve DICOM measurements ("ultrasound" or "structured report") and provide worklists.
  • Processing the DICOM measurements, extracting header information and perform a database insert or update for the associated patient.

MedITEX DICOM Server can be run as a service (hidden) or as a normal application with a user interface.

This is a description of its general workflow:

-          A DCM message comes in
- in case of a worklist request, MDS sends back the daily task list
- in case of any measurement, MDS saves a DCM file in a so called SPOOL folder

-          DCM files are scanned, analyzed and processed (one after the other)

-          Each single step is recorded in a protocol file
- communications in a monthly created log file
- DCM processing in a protocol file that keeps the last 50 records

-          If a DCM file is successfully processed it can be saved in a so called ARCHIVE folder,
in case of errors it will be saved in a FAILED folder for a later manual re-work

The following pictures are screenshots of each form of the MDS application:
