3 INTRODUCTION
3.2 AUDIENCE
This document is written for the people that need to understand how the Optovue DICOM Module 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 are 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
3.3 REMARKS
The scope of this DICOM Conformance Statement is to facilitate integration between the Optovue DICOM Module and
other DICOM products. The Conformance Statement should be read and understood in conjunction with the DICOM
Standard. DICOM by itself does not guarantee interoperability. The Conformance Statement does, however, facilitate a
first-level comparison for interoperability between different applications supporting compatible DICOM functionality.
This Conformance Statement is not intended to replace validation with other DICOM equipment to ensure proper
exchange of intended information. In fact, the user should be aware of the following important issues:
• The comparison of different Conformance Statements is just the first step towards assessing interconnectivity and
interoperability between the product and other DICOM conformant equipment.
• Test procedures should be defined and executed to validate the required level of interoperability with specific
compatible DICOM equipment, as established by the healthcare facility.
The Optovue DICOM Module 3.0 is supported for use with the following Optovue products:
An Optovue DICOM license is required for use with each device using DICOM features in Optovue applications.

Abstract Syntax – the 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.
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 Sequence (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.
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 Entity 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 service; 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).
Service Class User (SCU) – role of an Application Entity 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.
C-Echo - DICOM Service used to verify end-to-end DICOM communication. Very similar to a ping request.
C-Store - DICOM Service used to store DICOM Objects (such as images) to a PACS system.
C-Find - DICOM Service used to find or retrieve various DICOM Objects (e.g. worklist or images).
This section describes terminology used in this Conformance Statement for the non-specialist. The key terms used in the
Conformance Statement are highlighted in italics below. This section is not a substitute for training about DICOM, and it
makes many simplifications about the meanings of DICOM terms.
Two Application Entities (devices) that want to communicate with each other over a network using DICOM protocol must
first agree on several things during an initial network “handshake”. One of the two devices must initiate an Association (a
connection to the other device), and ask if specific services, information, and encoding can be supported by the other
device (Negotiation).
DICOM specifies several network services and types of information objects, each of which is called an Abstract Syntax for
the Negotiation. DICOM also specifies a variety of methods for encoding data, denoted Transfer Syntaxes. The
Negotiation allows the initiating Application Entity to propose combinations of Abstract Syntax and Transfer Syntax to be
used on the Association; these combinations are called Presentation Contexts. The receiving Application Entity accepts
the Presentation Contexts it supports.
For each Presentation Context, the Association Negotiation also allows the devices to agree on Roles – which one is the
Service Class User (SCU - client) and which is the Service Class Provider (SCP - server). Normally the device initiating
the connection is the SCU, i.e., the client system calls the server, but not always.
The Association Negotiation finally enables exchange of maximum network packet (PDU) size, security information, and
network service options (called Extended Negotiation information).
The Application Entities, having negotiated the Association parameters, may now commence exchanging data. Common
data exchanges include queries for worklists and lists of stored images, transfer of image objects and analyses (structured
reports), and sending images to film printers. Each exchangeable unit of data is formatted by the sender in accordance
with the appropriate Information Object Definition and sent using the negotiated Transfer Syntax. There is a Default
Transfer Syntax that all systems must accept, but it may not be the most efficient for some use cases. Each transfer is
explicitly acknowledged by the receiver with a Response Status indicating success, failure, or that query or retrieve
operations are still in process.
Two Application Entities may also communicate with each other by exchanging media (such as a CD-R). Since there is
no Association Negotiation possible, they both use a Media Application Profile that specifies “pre-negotiated” exchange
media format, Abstract Syntax, and Transfer Syntax.

4 NETWORKING
The Optovue DICOM Module supports the following DICOM workflows in its DICOM implementation model:
• Verification Service
• Modality Worklist
• Network Storage
The Optovue DICOM Module includes a standalone configuration and service application that supports entry of user
configuration information for DICOM connections with a Modality Worklist SCP and a DICOM Storage SCP.
The Optovue DICOM Module supports configuration of a Modality Worklist Server and a DICOM Storage Server, and it
allows entry of an Application Entity Title for each configuration. The Verification Service is used to confirm that a DICOM
connection can be established with the configured servers.
Figure 1 Application Data Flow Diagram - Verification for Modality Worklist SCP
Figure 2 Application Data Flow Diagram - Verification for Data Storage SCP
For verification of a DICOM connection with a Modality Worklist SCP or DICOM Storage SCP, the Optovue DICOM
Module opens an association with the configured DICOM SCP (Modality Worklist Server or DICOM Storage Server) and
uses the C-Echo message protocol to verify a DICOM connection with the server.
The user enters the configuration information for the DICOM service providers in the Optovue DICOM Module
configuration application. Then the user can request an “Echo Test” for the configured servers. The ODM application uses
the DICOM Verification Service protocol to confirm that a DICOM association can be established with the configured
servers.
The Optovue DICOM Module Application Entity queries a Modality Worklist Server to retrieve patient record information.
The patient record information from the worklist can be used to create patient records in the Optovue patient database.
The Optovue DICOM Module Modality Worklist Application Entity connects and queries a MWL server as a Modality
Worklist SCU.
The Optovue DICOM Module supports several configuration options for DICOM query requests of a Modality Worklist
SCP:
The user enters the configuration information for the Modality Worklist SCP in the Optovue DICOM Module standalone
configuration application.
The user can request a Modality Worklist query when using the machine (scanning device) application. When the user
requests a MWL query, the application queries the MWL server using the configured MWL information. The patient
records retrieved from the MWL server are displayed in a spreadsheet dialog. The user selects a patient record from the
spreadsheet to start a visit for the patient.
The Optovue DICOM Module Application Entity sends generated DICOM files to a DICOM Storage SCP (PACS).
The user enters the configuration information for the DICOM Storage SCP in the Optovue DICOM Module standalone
configuration application.
The user can request generation and transfer of DICOM files when using the machine (scanning device) and ReVue
applications. DICOM user preference settings are supported in the machine and ReVue applications to customize
application DICOM support.
When a report is displayed in the application, the following options are available:
• For OCT scans, when the report DICOM button is selected, OP (for the IR or SLO En Face image) and OPT DICOM
files are generated and stored on the DICOM Storage SCP.
The generation of OP and OPT DICOM files for OCT scans is supported for the scan types listed in Table 3-1..
• For Fundus scans, when the report DICOM button is selected, an OP (for the fundus image) is generated and stored
on the DICOM Storage SCP.
• When the “camera” tool is selected for a report, an ePDF or Secondary Capture DICOM file is generated and stored
on the DICOM Storage SCP.
4.3 AE SPECIFICATIONS
The Optovue DICOM Module provides Standard Conformance to the following DICOM SOP classes as an SCU:
4.3.2.1 GENERAL
The specifications for DICOM communication are configured in the standalone Optovue DICOM Module configuration
application. These specifications are required for Modality Worklist and DICOM Data Storage usage.
The DICOM Implementation Class and Version for generated files is as follows:
• C-ECHO
• C-FIND
• C-STORE
The user enters configuration information for the Modality Worklist SCP and the Data Storage SCP in the Optovue
DICOM Module standalone configuration application. After entering the SCP configuration information, the user may
initiate verification tests from within the configuration screen to the configured SCPs.
The user requests the Modality Worklist dialog. The user may enter worklist search criteria in the Modality Worklist dialog
and then start the worklist query.
The Optovue DICOM Module opens an association with the Modality Worklist SCP and sends a C-FIND request with the
user’s search criteria. The C-FIND request is sent with the worklist query mode configured in the Optovue DICOM
Module. The MWL server sends C-FIND responses to the Optovue DICOM Module with matching patient records from the
worklist entries. The matching patient records are displayed in the Optovue DICOM Module worklist spreadsheet.
The following table outlines the attributes that are accepted and placed into the images. Any unexpected values are not
