DICOM Printer 2
 |
DICOM Printer Version 2 is a whole new approach to DICOM-enablement. It is a highly-optimised scriptable background DICOM workflow processor. |   |
DP2 can combine a multitude of actions into a virtually unlimited conditional workflow.
Features and functions include but are by no means limited to:
- Fully automated background operation, requiring no user intervention to associate documents,
or transmit to Film - Text content extraction from incoming print jobs for use in DICOM tags
- Query of both PACS and Work-list to gather study information prior to transmission to Store or Film
- Conditional operation, allowing: Unique handling of documents form each incoming modality or client
- Job suspension and hold for repeated query attempts, allowing documents to wait until either Worklist or PACS records become available
- Interaction with external plug-in applications, permitting gathering of data from external databases, incorporation of HL7 data sources, notification of events, and virtually any conceivable integration with external data and processes.
DICOM Printer 2 is ideal for the following applications:
- Seamless background printing to Film from any application
- Automated Print-to-PACS applications, such as scanned document, e.g., PDF, association with either new or pre-existing studies in PACS
- DICOM-enablement of existing applications, leveraging generic print functionality into full DICOM compliance
- Integration into high-volume centralized document injection processes, extending RIS document storage into full asset availability in PACS. DP2 is written entirely in C++ and is limited in processing speed almost entirely by communication infrastructure.
