AUTHORIZATION LEVEL REQUIRED AND USER TYPES
BV-Scope uses a hardware key (dongle) to protect serviceable functions. As applied within Surgery, it is only
allowed to be used by authorized users.
To be able to offer the relevant functionality to the categories of BV-Scope users, a protection mechanism is
defined which matches the possible protection levels. There are 3 levels of authorization, see table below.
Authorization level required and user types
Authorization level
Password required
PMS sec & Dongle
required
X*
BV-Scope Administrator (A)
Dongle level 0, 1 or 2
BV-Scope Service (S0, S1, S2)
Dongle level 3
BV-Scope Factory (S3)
*) This password can be configured by user types with the levels S0, S1, S2 or S3).
User types (levels)
In this definition, level S3 means the highest access rights. In practice, this means that these procedures are
allowed to be used by the smallest category of users (e.g. high level specialists). In special occasions, it can
be useful to make use of authorization level S3: contact the helpdesk.
The BV-Scope administrator (level A), has the lowest access rights. The BV-Scope administrator does not
require a hardware key, but has restricted access.
For all user types, only the permitted procedures are visible.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
DICOM AND NETWORK DEVICES
This sections deals with DICOM configuration in case of BV-Scope with integrated DICOM functions
(= performing DICOM functions without external Merge Box.).
DICOM (Digital COmmunication in Medicine) is a protocol for communication between medical devices.
The DFI of a Libra, Endura or Pulsera communicates via DICOM with the network of a hospital. The DFI
sends images acquired with a Libra, Endura or Pulsera together with information of patients, acquisition data
etc. to a network target.
Devices also on this network can be:
•
printers
•
archives to archive images en data, for example PACS
•
workstations for analyzing of images
•
WLM servers (Worklist Management), for planning of examinations of patients
•
MPPS (Modality Performed Procedure Step), to report the status of performed examinations
•
a service PC for configuration of the devices connected to the network
With certain functions of the user interface of the BV-family, the images and data on the DFI can be sent to
the above-mentioned devices on the network. All functions are optional.
The functions are:
• Export
• Print
• WLM
• MPPS
• Storage Commitment
See the user manual of the BV-family for more information on these functions.

In DICOM terms, the BV-Family system is called the modality. Printers, archives, workstations, WLM/MPPS
servers are called targets.
What happens when a patient who has to be examinated enters a hospital?
1. The data of a patient will be entered in a Hospital Information System (HIS) or a Radiology Information
System (RIS). In case of an emergency, this step can be omitted.
2. On a WLM Server, the examinations a patient has to follow have to be scheduled.
3. When a certain examination has been performed, the status will be reported to an MPPS.
4. The data and images of each examination can be printed, stored or sent to a workstation.

DICOM configuration
5. Images that are manipulated on a workstation can eventually be printed and/or be stored from the
workstation.
6. To be sure images are stored safely a storage commitment procedure is used. Images that are sent from
a modality to the storage device are only deleted on the modality if the storage device gives commitment.
This commitment will only be given if the images are stored safely on the storage device.
This section describes the order for configuration of the BV Family System for DICOM networking.
Described are:
• System configuration: configuration of the DICOM settings of the BV Family System.
• Configuration of DICOM Storage targets: steps needed to add DICOM Storage (export) targets (the
targets can be the devices mentioned in the table above).
• Loading of pre-configured printer types: required before adding DICOM Print targets.
• Configuration of DICOM Print targets: steps needed to add DICOM Print targets.
This section assumes the user is familiar with:
• Basic TCP/IP networking concepts, such as:
IP address, TCP port, subnet, gateway.
• Basic DICOM concepts, such as:
DICOM AE Title, Service Class Provider, Service Class User. For definitions, refer to p. 5.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE DICOM STANDARD
For configuration of the BV Family System, it is not necessary to read this chapter.
1.2.1
The DICOM standard
The DICOM Standard, which is currently designated Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine
(DICOM), embodies a number of major enhancements to previous versions of the ACR-NEMA Standard:
1. It is applicable to a networked environment. The ACR-NEMA Standard was applicable in a point-to-point
environment only; for operation in a networked environment, a Network Interface Unit (NIU) was required.
DICOM supports operation in a networked environment using the industry standard networking protocol
TCP/IP.
2. It is applicable to an off-line media environment. The ACR-NEMA Standard did not specify a file format or
choice of physical media or logical file system. DICOM supports operation in an offline media environment
using industry standard media such as CD-R and MOD and logical file systems such as ISO 9660 and PC
File System (FAT16).
3. It specifies how devices claiming conformance to the Standard react to commands and data being
exchanged. The ACR-NEMA Standard was confined to the transfer of data, but DICOM specifies, through
the concept of Service Classes, the semantics of commands and associated data.
4. It specifies levels of conformance. The ACR-NEMA Standard specified a minimum level of conformance.
DICOM explicitly describes how an implementer must structure a Conformance Statement to select
specific options.

DICOM configuration
Section 3
5. It is structured as a multi-part document. This facilitates evolution of the Standard in a rapidly evolving
environment by simplifying the addition of new features. ISO directives which define how to structure
multi-part documents have been followed in the construction of the DICOM Standard.
6. It introduces explicit Information Objects not only for images and graphics but also for waveforms, reports,
printing, etc.
7. It specifies an established technique for uniquely identifying any Information Object. This facilitates
unambiguous definitions of relationships between Information Objects as they are acted upon across the
network.
The DICOM Standard is an evolving standard and it is maintained in accordance with the Procedures of
the DICOM Standards Committee. Proposals for enhancements are forthcoming from the DICOM
Committee member organizations based on input from users of the Standard. These proposals are
considered for inclusion in future editions of the Standard. A requirement in updating the Standard is to
maintain effective compatibility with previous editions.
1.2.2
Scope and field of application
The DICOM Standard facilitates interoperability of medical imaging equipment by specifying:
•
For network communications, a set of protocols to be followed by devices claiming conformance to the
Standard.
•
The syntax and semantics of Commands and associated information, which can be exchanged using
these protocols.
•
For media communication, a set of media storage services to be followed by devices claiming
conformance to the Standard, as well as a File Format and a medical directory structure to facilitate
access to the images and related information stored on interchange media.
•
Information that must be supplied with an implementation for which conformance to the Standard is
claimed.
The DICOM Standard does not specify:
•
The implementation details of any features of the Standard on a device-claiming conformance.
•
The overall set of features and functions to be expected from a system implemented by integrating a
group of devices each claiming DICOM conformance.
•
A testing/validation procedure to assess an implementation's conformance to the Standard.
The DICOM Standard pertains to the field of Medical Informatics. Within that field, it addresses the
exchange of digital information between medical imaging equipment and other systems. Because such
equipment may interoperate with other medical devices, the scope of this Standard needs to overlap with
other areas of medical informatics. However, the DICOM Standard does not address the breadth of this field.
1.2.3
Definitions
Attribute: A property of an Information Object. An Attribute has a name and a value, which are independent
of any encoding scheme
Command: A request to operate on information across a network.
Command Element: An encoding of a parameter of a command, which conveys this parameter's value.
Command Stream: The result of encoding a set of DICOM Command Elements using the DICOM encoding
scheme.
Conformance Statement: A formal statement that describes a specific product implementation that uses the
DICOM Standard. It specifies the Service Classes, Information Objects, and Communication Protocols
supported by the implementation.
Data Dictionary: A registry of DICOM Data Elements, which assigns a unique tag, a name, value
characteristics, and semantics to each Data Element.
Data Element: A unit of information as defined by a single entry in the data dictionary.
Data Set: Exchanged information consisting of a structured set of Attributes. The value of each Attribute
in a Data Set is expressed as a Data Element.

DICOM configuration
Data Stream: The result of encoding a Data Set using the DICOM encoding scheme (Data Element
Numbers and representations as specified by the Data Dictionary).
DICOM AE Title: Name of the Application Entity.
Information Object: An abstraction of a real information entity (e.g., CT Image, Structured Report, etc.) that is
acted upon by one or more DICOM Commands.
Note: It is an informal term corresponding to Information Object Definition.
Information Object Class: A formal description of an Information Object, which includes a description of its
purpose and the Attributes it possesses. It does not include values for these attributes.
Note: It is an informal term corresponding to Service-Object Pair Class, more commonly as a SOP Class.
Information Object Instance: A representation of an occurrence of a real-world entity, which includes values
for the Attributes of the Information Object Class to which the entity belongs.
Note: It is an informal term corresponding to a Service-Object Pair Instance, more commonly as a SOP
Instance.
Message: A data unit of the Message Exchange Protocol exchanged between two cooperating DICOM
Applications. A Message is composed of a Command Stream followed by an optional Data Stream.
Service Class: A structured description of a service, which is supported by cooperating DICOM
Applications using specific DICOM Commands acting on a specific class of Information Object.
Service Class Provider: Application Entity that provides the Service Class.
Service Class User: Application Entity that uses the Service Class.
1.2.4
Goals of the DICOM standard
The DICOM Standard facilitates interoperability of devices claiming conformance. In particular, it:
•
addresses the semantics of Commands and associated data. For devices to interact, there must be
standards on how devices are expected to react to Commands and associated data, not just the
information which is to be moved between devices;
•
addresses the semantics of file services, file formats and information directories necessary for off-line
communication;
•
is explicit in defining the conformance requirements of implementations of the Standard. In particular, a
conformance statement must specify enough information to determine the functions for which
interoperability can be expected with another device claiming conformance.
•
facilitates operation in a networked environment.
•
is structured to accommodate the introduction of new services, thus facilitating support for future medical
imaging applications.
•
makes use of existing international standards wherever applicable, and it conforms to established
documentation guidelines for international standards.
Even though the DICOM Standard has the potential to facilitate implementations of PACS solutions, use
of the Standard alone does not guarantee that all the goals of a PACS will be met. This Standard
facilitates interoperability of systems claiming conformance in a multi-vendor environment, but does not,
by itself, guarantee interoperability.
This Standard has been developed with an emphasis on diagnostic medical imaging as practiced in
radiology, cardiology and related disciplines; however, it is also applicable to a wide range of image and
non-image related information exchanged in clinical and other medical environments.

The figure below presents the general communication model of the Standard, which spans both network
(online) and media storage interchange (off-line) communication. Applications may relay on either one of the
following boundaries:
•
The Upper Layer Service, which provides independence from specific physical networking
communication support and protocols such as TCP/IP.
•
The Basic DICOM File Service, which provides access to Storage Media independently from specific
media storage formats and file structures.

LOADING OF PRINTER TYPES FILE
5.1
INTRODUCTION
The procedure below has to be followed to install new printers or new versions of software for printers.
For all DICOM Printer types supported by the BV Family System, pre-defined (default) values for all printer
parameters have been specified in the Printer Type file.
There are 3 different kinds of printer parameters:
• Printer parameters that can be modified in BV-Scope by both the administrator and the Philips Service
engineer. In the Printer Type file all possible values are defined, the first value is the default value.
(example: “Film Orientation”)
• Printer parameters that can be modified in BV-Scope by the Philips Service engineer only. To modify
these parameters detailed knowledge of DICOM print is required. In the Printer Type file all possible
values are defined, the first value is the default value.
(example: “Magnification Type”)
• Printer parameters that cannot be modified. The value in the Printer Type file is fixed.
For an explanation of the parameters, refer to SM-SW section 2.
Before DICOM Print targets can be configured, the pre-configured printer types have to be loaded into the
system. Only DICOM Printers that make use of the pre-defined printer types can be configured on the BV
Family System.

Remark 2:
Note that it is possible to define two separate DICOM Print targets that make use of the same physical
DICOM Printer. This can be useful when for example the user wants to have one Print target that prints the
images on the film in a landscape format and one that prints the images in a portrait format. The “Film
orientation” cannot be selected in the Export panel on the MVS’ user interface but by defining two separate
Print targets, it is still possible to support both.

DICOM QUEUE MANAGEMENT
8.1
INTRODUCTION
Both DICOM Storage and DICOM Print actions can be performed when the system is not connected to the
network. Therefore, the images to be exported or printed will be stored in a queue on the BV Family System.
When the BV Family System is connected to a network, all prepared export and/or print sessions can be
started by one simple action (with the Resume button in the Export panel on the MVS’ user interface). When
an export/print session fails (for example when the DICOM Storage target is not available), the prepared
export/print session will be kept in the queue on the BV Family System.
When a problem with one or more DICOM targets persists, it is possible the queue on the BV Family Systems
gets full. Therefore, it is possible to access the DICOM queue via BV-Scope. In BV-Scope each export/print
session can be selected, the detailed information can be viewed and the entry can be removed from the
queue (see chapter 8.2).
