Medical equipment can automatically store the medical images on the PACS server.

Other computers, equipped with OsiriX, can store and retrieve images directly from the PACS server.

The modalities (MRI, CT, PET, Ultrasounds, ) send the images to the PACS Server by using a DICOM push ( DICOM C-Store ).

The server and the clients communicates by using the DICOM protocol (DICOM C-Store, WADO or Query Retrieve).

The clients display the images by using a medical imaging software: a DICOM viewer.

IP address, TCPIP port number and AETitle is the information required to connect each DICOM Node to the DICOM network.

These informations can be found in the Preferences Listener window in OsiriX.

The PACS Server software needs to be robust, working flawlessly 247, with a powerful database engine, capable of storing millions of DICOM images.

These PACS Clients can query and retrieve the DICOM images from the PACS server, by using the DICOM network protocol (DICOM C-Move, C-Store, C-Get, C-Find, WADO, ).

We highly recommend a RAID system: for example, you can install 4 identical hard disks in the MacPro, and format them as a RAID 5 system.

Youll have faster performances, and a more secure system (no data are lost if a drive fails).

You can also use an external RAID system, connected through FireWire or Thunderbolt for best performances (Promise VTrak, Promise Pegasus, LaCie RAID towers).

A SSD is highly recommended for best performances when loading the images.

We want to be sure that your PACS server will be also running.

You can uses Lingon to easily create an always-up setting (select At Login and Keep running).

We will install a small software running as a different process: it will test if OsiriX is alive and responsive.

It uses the built-in Web server and the XML-RPC interfaces of OsiriX to send tests to the database: hence be sure to activate them in OsiriX preferences.

If OsiriX doesnt answer to the requests, this software will kill OsiriX, allowing it to restart (thanks to the LaunchAgent settings).

This software is available here.

This mode will hide the GUI, and OsiriX will never present a blocking window to the user (nobody will look at the server monitor to click the OK button).

This protocol is extremely fast when using OsiriX as a DICOM viewer or a PACS server.

To go further, you can now deploy the OsiriX built-in Web server or the PACS On-Demand features.

If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it.
