Requirements for Imaging Devices

Image Archiving to PACS

Connectivity to the Provet Cloud PACS requires that the diagnostic imaging devices being connected are equipped with DICOM Send functionality (may also be called PACS image archival functionality). Depending on the device, this may be a standard feature or additional licensable feature.

Worklist Sending from Provet Cloud to the Imaging Device

Provet Cloud’s DICOM modality worklist functionality allows diagnostic imaging requests to be transferred from Provet Cloud to the worklist section of your modalities. This is often referred to as RIS connectivity (Radiology Information System connectivity) in the diagnostic imaging devices. Depending on the device, this may be a standard feature or additional licensable feature.

Worklist Blackbox

The worklist blackbox is a Linux device that acts as a proxy for your DICOM devices to ensure secure transmission of incoming DICOM studies directly to your Provet Cloud environment. The blackbox also provides a local worklist service to your DICOM devices to facilitate study requests from Provet Cloud directly into your DICOM device. This process allows study requests to arrive at the imaging system without the need for manually entering data such as the patient name, client name, etc. 

Connectivity and Ports

The blackbox can be connected to the network at any physical location as long as the IP
address of the blackbox is accessible by the imaging systems and has unrestricted outgoing
internet access.
