1.2.1 Terms and Definitions

Informal definitions are provided for the following terms used in this Conformance Statement. The DICOM Standard is the authoritative source for formal definitions of these terms.

Abstract Syntax – t he information agreed to be exchanged between applications, generally equivalent to a Service/Object Pair (SOP) Class. Examples : Verification SOP Class, Modality Worklist Information Model Find SOP Class, Computed Radiography Image Storage SOP Class.

Application Entity (AE) – an end point of a DICOM information exchange, including the DICOM network or media interface software; i.e., the software that sends or receives DICOM information objects or messages. A single device may have multiple Application Entities.

Application Entity Title – the externally known name of an Application Entity, used to identify a DICOM application to other DICOM applications on the network.

Application Context – the specification of the type of communication used between Application Entities. Example: DICOM network protocol.

Association – a network communication channel set up between Application Entities.

6

Attribute – a unit of information in an object definition; a data element identified by a tag. The information may be a complex data structure (Sequence), itself composed of lower level data elements. Examples: Patient ID (0010,0020), Accession Number (0008,0050), Photometric Interpretation (0028,0004), Procedure Code Sequenc e (0008,1032).

Information Object Definition (IOD) – the specified set of Attributes that comprise a type of data object; does not represent a specific instance of the data object, but rather a class of similar data objects that have the same properties. The Attributes may be specified as Mandatory (Type 1), Required but possibly unknown (Type 2), or Optional (Type 3), and there may be conditions associated with the use of an Attribute (Types 1C and 2C). Examples: MR Image IOD, CT Image IOD, Print Job IOD.

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG ) – a set of standardized image compression techniques, available for use by DICOM applications.

Media Application Profile – the specification of DICOM information objects and encoding exchanged on removable media (e.g., CDs)

Module – a set of Attributes within an Information Object Definition that are logically related to each other. Example: Patient Module includes Patient Name, Patient ID, Patient Birth Date, and Patient Sex.

Negotiation – first phase of Association establishment that allows Application Entities to agree on the types of data to be exchanged and how that data will be encoded.

Presentation Context – the set of DICOM network services used over an Association, as negotiated between Application Entities; includes Abstract Syntaxes and Transfer Syntaxes.

Protocol Data Unit (PDU) – a packet (piece) of a DICOM message sent across the network. Devices must specify the maximum size packet they can receive for DICOM messages.

Security Profile – a set of mechanisms, such as encryption, user authentication, or digital signatures, used by an Application Enti ty to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of exchanged DICOM data.

Service Class Provider (SCP) – role of an Application Entity that provides a DICOM network servic e; typically, a server that performs operations requested by another Application Entity (Service Class User). Examples: Picture Archiving and Communication System (image storage SCP, and image query/retrieve SCP), Radiology Information System (modality worklist SCP).

7

Service Class User (SCU) – role of an Application Ent ity that uses a DICOM network service; typically, a client. Examples: imaging modality (image storage SCU, and modality worklist SCU), imaging workstation (image query/retrieve SCU)

Service/Object Pair (SOP) Class – the specification of the network or media transfer (service) of a particular type of data (object); the fundamental unit of DICOM interoperability specification. Examples: Ultrasound Image Storage Service, Basic Grayscale Print Management.

Service/Object Pair (SOP) Instance – an information object; a specific occurrence of information exchanged in a SOP Class. Examples: a specific x-ray image. Tag – a 32-bit identifier for a data element, represented as a pair of four digit hexadecimal numbers, the “group” and the “element”. If the “group” number is odd, the tag is for a private (manufacturer-specific) data element. Examples: (0010,0020) [Patient ID], (07FE,0010) [Pixel Data], (0019,0210) [private data element]

Transfer Syntax – the encoding used for exchange of DICOM information objects and messages. Examples: JPEG compressed (images), little endian explicit value representation.

Unique Identifier (UID) – a globally unique “dotted decimal” string that identifies a specific object or a class of objects; an ISO-8824 Object Identifier. Examples: Study Instance UID, SOP Class UID, SOP Instance UID.

Value Representation (VR) – the format type of an individual DICOM data element, such as text, an integer, a person’s name, or a code. DICOM information objects can be transmitted with either explicit identification of the type of each data element (Explicit VR), or without explicit identification (Implicit VR); with Implicit VR, the receiving application must use a DICOM data dictionary to look up the format of each data element.

This Conformance Statement is intended for:

Potential users System integrators of medical equipment Software designers implementing DICOM interfaces

1.5 Note to the reader

This document is written for the people that need to understand how OKI C911 DICOM PRINTER SERIES will integrate into their healthcare facility. This includes both those responsible for overall imaging network policy and architecture, as well as integrators who need to have a detailed understanding of the DICOM features of the product. This document contains some basic DICOM definitions so that any reader may understand how this product implements DICOM features. However, integrators a re expected to fully understand all the DICOM terminology, how the tables in this document relate to the product’s functionality, and how that functionality integrates with other devices that support compatible DICOM features. Comparison of this Conformance Statement and the Conformance Statement of another device may show that the other device conforms to this Conformance Statement. In that case, the other device may be interoperable with this product, but no guarantee is given. DICOM only deals with communications; it is not a standard that specifies what is needed for certain applications to run on a device.

2 Implementation model

2.1 Application data flow

Print SCP is a DICOM printing solution that can receive images from DICOM modalities and render the images on paper by using Print SCU capabilities.

The Print Server is receiving the Images with the Presentation information, it Apply it on the images and creates a print-job within the print queue, containing one or more film pages composed from images selected by the client Print SCU. Furthermore, it also manages the Printer Status and Configuration.

10

2.2 Functional Definition of Print Server (SCP) Application Entity

The Print Server System acquires the images with the demographics and presentation information from the connected Print Composer (SCU) that is Grouped with a Workstation or an Archive device. Studies are temporarily stored on memory. The images are then processed and formatted and finally queued as a print job on the Printer queue. If the Printer is not operating normally (e.g. film Magazine empty), then the printer will be set to an error state and c an be restarted by the us er via the control panel interface. The Print Server Management includes:

- DICOM Association and Negotiation Management

- Image Buffering

- Image Processing (Windowing level, P-LUT, GSDF, etc.)

- Image Formatting (Film sheet format)

- Printing Furthermore, the Print Server provides in addition a Service operation of

checking the networking connectivity to it’s Print SCU using the Verification SOP Class.

11

2.3 Functional definitions of Application Entities

2.3.1 Verification Service as SCP

Print SCP waits for another application to connect at the presentation address configured in the network settings. When another application connects, Print SCP expects it to be a DICOM application. Print SCP will accept associations with Presentation Contexts for SOP Classes of the Verification Service Class.

2.3.2 Print services as SCP

Once started, Print SCP waits for association requests. For each accepted request, it processes on the association the received print commands compatible with the SOP Classes it supports. Associations are relea sed either on Print SCU request or when an error condition occurs that leads to an association abort.

2.3.3 Store services as SCP

Once started, Print SCP waits for association requests. For each request, it accept associations with Presentation Contexts for SOP Classes of the Storage Service Class, and processes to the print commands listed and viewed through the user interface. Associations are released either on Print SCU request or when an error condition occurs that leads to an association abort.

12

In its default configuration, Print SCP exists as a single Application Entity (AE) “OKI”. You can add several Application Entity Titles (AET), define each of those and add rules for color adjustment. As far as the association acceptance is concerned, Print SCP does not check any matching between its AET and the called AET of the incoming DICOM association. Print SCP provides standard conformance to the following DICOM V3.0 SOP Classes as an SCP:

14

3.1 Association establishment policies

3.1.1 General

Before any SOP Classes can be exchanged between the SCU AE and the PMS (SCP), an association stage takes place to negotiate and exchange the capabilities of the SCU and SCP. The Store Management SCU and SCP or the Print Management SCU and SCP establish an association by using the Association Services of the DICOM Upper Layer. During association establishment, the DICOM Store Management AE or the Print Management AE negotiates with the supported SOP classes. Only the SCU AE shall release an association. The released association may be aborted by the SCU or the SCP. The SCU AE attempts to initiate a new association for each store or print session. This means that when no operation is done on the association, the SCU should release the association. A DICOM entity can only send DIMSE messages to instances that are created on the same association. The Maximum PDU Length offered by Print SCP (SCP) at association establishment time can be configured by the user, and may range between the following minimum and maximum values:

Minimum value for Maximum PDU Length: 8192 bytes Maximum value for Maximum PDU Length: 131072 bytes

3.1.2 Number of associations

In its standard configuration, The OKI C911 DICOM PRINTER SERIES will accept Up to 5 simultaneous delivery Associations for Print-SCP and will accept 1 simultaneous delivery Associations for Store-SCP. If an attempt is made to open more than 5 simultaneous Associations for Print-SCP, the Print Server System will reject the additional Associations (A-ASSOCIATERJ). If an attempt is made to open more than 1 simultaneous Associations Store-SCP, the Print Server System will reject the additional Associations (A-ASSOCIATE-RJ).

Number of Associations as a SCP for PRINT-SCP

Maximum number of simultaneous Associations 5

Number of Associations as a SCP for STORAGE-SCP

Maximum number of simultaneous Associations 1

15

3.1.3 Asynchronous nature

The OKI C911 DICOM PRINTER SERIES does not support asynchronous operations.

3.2 Association initiation by real-world activity

The OKI C911 DICOM PRITNER SERIES never initiates an association, since it acts as a SCP from a DICOM protocol point of view.

3.3 Association acceptance policy

The OKI C911 DICOM PRINTER SERIES accepts DICOM associations according to the DICOM Meta SOP Classes and SOP Classes it supports. Print SCP does not perform any check on the called AET at association acceptance time.

3.3.1 Real-world activity: Print Management and Verification SCP

3.3.1.1 Associated real-world activity

The application entity waits for incoming associations. No operator action is required to receive DICOM print jobs or verific ation requests.

Box SOP class

The OKI C911 DICOM SERIES supports the Presentation LUT SOP class as SCP. Print SCU may negotiate this support and create a Presentation LUT instance prior to the creation of Film Boxes or Image Boxes. Multiple Presentation LUT instances are supported in an association, but only one instance will be supported for each image. The SCU shall send either Presentation LUT Sequence or the Presentation LUT Shape. These values are mutually exclusive and the action will result in an error if neither or both are present. The presence of the Presentation LUT instance overrides any data set in the Configuration Information attribute (2010,0150) of the Film Box or Image Box. The Print Server Management System provides support for the following DIMSE Services:

- N-CREATE

- N-DELETE

Otherwise, it deletes the specified Presentation LUT SOP instance.

Consistent P resentation of Grayscale Images

The OKI C911 DICOM SERIES supports the DICOM standard (PS 3-14) Grayscale Standard Display Function (GSDF) for Consistent Presentation of Displayed and Printed Images. The Image Consistency is achieved through the support of the Presentation LUT (transforming the image pixels value in to the Standard Presentation P-values) and then Transforming the Image pixel values from the standard Presentation (P-value) space to the Optical Density space. Calibrating the Imager Printer Device to adjust the Printer Imager characteristic curve to fit the GSDF curve. The OKI C911 DICOM SERIES Service Manual describes in details the Imager Printer calibration to the DICOM GSDF curve.

7.1 Suppo r ted Com m uni cat io ns S t ack s

The OKI C911 DICOM SERIES supports a single network interface. One of the following physical network interfaces will be available depending on installed hardware options:

SUPPORTED PHYSICAL NETWORK INTERFACES

7.1.1 Additional Protocols

DHCP can be used to obtain TCP/IP network configuration information (e.g. own TCP/IP address, net-mask, default gateway, DNS server, etc.). Support for DHCP can be configured via the Printer Control Panel. If DHCP is not in use, TCP/IP network configuration information can be manually configured via the Printer Control Panel. DNS can be used for address resolution. If DHCP is not in use, the identity of a DNS server can be configured via the Printer Control Panel. If a DNS server is not in use, local mapping between hostname and TCP/IP address can be manually configured via the Printer Control Panel.

7.1.2 IPv4 and IPv6 Support

This product supports IPv4.

7.2 TCP /IP Sta ck

Print SCP inherits its TCP/IP stack from the OKI printer system upon which it is executed.

7.3 Physi cal Me di a S uppo rt

Print SCP is irrelevant of the physical medium over which TCP/IP executes; it inherits this from the system upon which it is executed.

8 Extensions/Specialization/Privatization

No extensions defined.

9 Configuration

9.1 AE Title/Presentation Address Mapping

Print SCP configuration is included in the application user interface through the setup dialog. The Field Service Engineer can configure the IP Address via the Printer Control Panel. A Default AE Titles “OKI” are provided. The other AE Titles must be configured during installation. The local AET used by each individual application can be configured independently of the AET used by other local applications. If so configured, all local AE’s are capable of using the same AET or different AET.
