Introduction
1.1What is DEXcom?
DEXcom is the DICOM networking component of the DEXIS Software. It is an add-on to the DEXIS Software implementing communication with DICOM servers. The DEXcom component is therefore only needed by large enterprises running a DICOM conformant hospital management system. The DEXIS Software connecting to such a system and thus including the DEXcom component is called DEXIS Enterprise Edition.
The DEXcom component (or Application Entity in DICOM terms) implements the following DICOM functionality:
•DEXcom can verify communication with a DICOM server; it is thus a Service Class User (SCU) of the Verification Service Class.
•DEXcom can store images on a DICOM server; it is thus a Service Class User (SCU) of the Storage Service Class.
•DEXcom can query DICOM servers for patients, studies, series, and images; it is thus a Service Class User (SCU) of the Query/Retrieve Service Class.
•DEXcom can receive images from a DICOM server and store them in its local database; during this operation it serves thus as a Service Class Provider (SCP) of the Storage Service Class.
•DEXcom can query Modality Worklist Servers for entries; it is thus a Service Class User (SCU) of the Modality Worklist Service Class.
