Setting up a server for file sharing – DICOM

All images are sent to either the Eyercloud system or a user configured server. To establish a connection to a server, click on “Settings”, then “Servers”, followed by pressing the “Add Server” button and choosing the appropriate server type.

If there are any issues when creating the connection check our troubleshoot post.

General Server Settings

These settings are required regardless of the type of server being configured:

1. Action: Defines the behaviour of the server (when to share the data):
        Primary: Default server used by Eyercloud. Cannot be removed, only disabled.
        Mirror: All the data generated by the device will be sent to the primary server and any mirror(s) configured.
        Contingency: Used only in case of Primary server failure.
        Manual: not used automatically, but is available for manual transfer.
2. Name: server identifier, is NOT unique.
3. Key: Generated automatically based o nthe server name. Unique and follow the format of three upper case letters (A to Z), followed by a dash (-), followed by three numbers (0 to 9)..

DICOM Settings

To utilize a DICOM server add the storage server information (Archive AE), or the Worklist server information.

1. AE Title: application identification in the system.

2.    AET: server identifier.

3.    IP: server IP address.

4.    Port: server port.

5.    Modality: only used in worklist context, represents DICOM tile type.

Every exam can be converted to DICOM standard, generating a .dcm file. The file generated  contains the following tags:

• PatientID → Generated using the clinic mandatory document, using the “DICOM Prefix”  in the Eyer system screen. Example: for a clinic registered with a CNS medical record, a DICOM file with PatientID value “phelcom_cnsPatient” will be generated.
• PatientComments → Has a JSON structure with patient anamnesis and diopter information.

Example:

{
        “anamnesis”:{
                “hypertension”:true,
                ”smoker”:true,
                ”glaucoma”:true,
                ”cataract”:true
        },
        ”diopter”:{
                “right”:{
                “spherical”:”-3.25”,
                “cylindrical”:”-0.75”,
                “axis”: “90”},
        ”left”:{
                “spherical”:”-3.25”,
                “cylindrical”:”-0.75”,
                “axis”: “90”},
        },
        ”email”:”contato@email.com”
