A.3.2 AUDIENCE
This document is intended for hospital staff, health system integrators, software designers or
implementers. It is assumed that the reader has a working understanding of DICOM.

A.3.3 REMARKS
DICOM, by itself, does not guarantee interoperability. However, the Conformance Statement
facilitates a first-level validation for interoperability between different applications supporting
the same DICOM functionality.
In the last 10 years the Ziehm Netport has gained experience in successful interconnectivity
with other vendors medical equipment.
For the benefit of readability, the product name Vision will be used for both systems Ziehm
Vision and Ziehm Vision throughout this document.

DICOM Conformance Statement

A.4.1.2 Functional Definition of Ziehm NetPort AE
A.4.1.2.1 Ziehm NetPort as a Storage Application Entity
The Ziehm NetPort AE is a SCU that is responsible for sending digital images from the Ziehm C-arm
to a Storage SCP. Upon successful negotiation of a Presentation Context the image transfer is
started. If the association cannot be opened, the Ziehm NetPort displays an error message. The user
can send single images, multiframe images, also single images from a multiframe (Vision creates a
new multiframe), a set of marked images, a whole patient folder or a set of patient folders (only
Vision). If the Storage SCP is configured as an archive device Ziehm NetPort AE will request Storage
Commitment and if a commitment is successfully obtained it will record this information in the local
database. If MPPS is activated the Ziehm NetPort AE sends MPPS Completed to the MPPS SCP.
Maximum size of Multiframe is ca. 600 Mbyte.

A.4.1.2.2 Ziehm NetPort as a Query/Retrieve Application Entity

The Ziehm NetPort AE is a SCU that is responsible for querying patient data, study data, series data,
image data and retrieving and displaying images from Query SCP. The Ziehm NetPort AE is able to
retrieve single images or a complete series from 2 up to 4 (Vision) other SCPs. The Association
Negotiation works as specified in A.4.1.2.1.

A.4.1.2.3 Ziehm NetPort as a Worklist Application Entity

The Ziehm NetPort AE is a SCU that is responsible for downloading a Worklist from a Worklist SCP.
The results will be displayed in a list, where the user can select an item which is automatically saved in
the local database. If MPPS is activated the Ziehm NetPort AE sends a MPPS Create to the MPPS
SCP. An existing patient can be overwritten by worklist data (Vision).

A.4.1.2.4 Ziehm NetPort as a Print Application Entity

Form: EW_DICOM_CONF.doc

The Ziehm NetPort AE is a SCU that is responsible printing digital images from the Ziehm C-arm to a
Print SCP. An Association is established with the printer and the printers status is determined. If the
printer is operating normally, the Ziehm NetPort AE sends the print job, otherwise an error message
will be displayed.

DICOM Conformance Statement

A.4.2.3.3.1.1 Description and Sequencing of Activities
The request for a Worklist is initiated by user interaction, i.e. pressing the button Worklist.
On the device Ziehm 8000, Ziehm 7000 PLUS, Ziehm Vista, Ziehm Vista PLUS or Ziehm Vario3D :
If the user wants to get the whole list of worklist items, he has to press the key Worklist. The Ziehm
NetPort AE request all items for a Scheduled Procedure Step Date (actual date not configurable),
Modality (XA, CR,..), Scheduled Station AE Title (Ziehm NetPort AE or all) and Location (string or
empty string), furthermore an interval of hours Scheduled Procedure Start Time and Scheduled
Procedure End Time is possible. Modality, Scheduled Station AE Title, Location and timespan are
configurable by a Service Engineer. The user can restrict the worklist items by a given patient ID and
patient family name (wildcard matching).
On the device Vision:
If the user wants to get the whole list of worklist items he has to press the worklist button and in the
next dialog the button delete and the worklist button once more. The Ziehm NetPort AE request all
items for a Scheduled Procedure Step Date, Modality (XA, CR, DX,.. or all), Scheduled Station AE
Title (Ziehm NetPort AE or all) and Location ( string or empty string). Modality, Scheduled Station AE
Title, Location are configurable by a Service Engineer. The user can restrict the worklist items with a
patient name wildcard matching is possible -, a patient ID, the accession number and the requested
procedure ID. Furthermore he can request a worklist from today, yesterday, today and yesterday, and
a fixed interval +/- 8 hours from actual time.
Upon initiation of the request, the Ziehm NetPort AE will build an Identifier for the C-FIND request, will
initiate an Association to send the request and will wait for Worklist responses. After retrieval of all
responses, Ziehm NetPort AE will display a list of all worklist items and the user can select one of
them. With pressing Return or Apply the patient is saved in the local database, i.e. a new patient
folder is created. Pressing Overwrite the current patient will be overwritten by the worklist data.
The list can be sorted by patient name, first name, ID, date and time of scheduled procedure step.

A.4.2.3.3.2 Activity MPPS

A.4.2.3.3.2.1 Description and Sequencing of Activities
After selecting a worklist item, the patient is saved in the local database and a new patient folder is
created. If MPPS is activated the Ziehm NetPort establishes automatically an Association to the
configured MPPS SCP, sends an N_CREATE to set the Procedure Step into the State IN
PROGRESS.
Ziehm NetPort supports the creation of unscheduled cases on all devices.
Ziehm NetPort supports 0-1, 1-1 relationship between Scheduled and Performed Procedure Steps, on
device Ziehm Vision the 1-N relationship is supported (Append case).
With a successful Storage of one or more images to the PACS Ziehm NetPort establishes a second
Association to the MPPS SCP, sends an N_SET to set the Procedure Step into the state
COMPLETED. On Ziehm Vision it is also possible to set state DISCONTINUED.

The Ziehm NetPort AE opens one association at a time, first it sends a Printer N_GET Request to get
the Printer Status. If the Status is NORMAL, it sends a Basic Film Session N_CREATE message to
the SCP, followed by a Basic Film Box, N_CREATE message. Then it sends a Basic Grayscale Image
Box, N_SET message. At the end an N_ACTION message is sent to instruct the Print SCP to print at
the Basic Film Session (1 page) or at the Basic Film Box level (more then 1 page).
If Printer supports Presentation LUT, Ziehm NetPort sends Presentation LUT N_CREATE.

A.4.4.2 Configuration Files

The Ziehm NetPort application uses the MergeCOM-3 subroutine library from Merge Healthcare (see
A 3.5) Linux Version 3.30 IB 25, Ziehm Vario 3D Workstation uses the DCMTK subroutine library
Version 3.5.4.
The Ziehm NetPort application references 6 configuration files. The file merge.ini, is found through the
MERGE_INI environment variable. They are as follows:
hosts

Specifies IP addresses of Ziehm NetPort and query/retrieve

and commitment servers.
ae_titel.dat(new)
Specifies the AE titel and the network parameter for the Ziehm
NetPort application and the remote SCP applications.
This file is configured with a dialog on the C-arm.
Merge.ini
Specifies the names of 3 configuration files and also
contains message logging parameters.
Mergecom.pro
Specifies run-time parameters for the Ziehm NetPort
application
mergecom.srv
Service and sequence definitions.
Mergecom.app
Specifies DICOM Services the will be negotiated with the
SCPs
With SW 5.24 and SW 2.05 the MergeCOM-3 library is replaced by OFFIS DICOM Toolkit ( Vision
only), no configuration files are used.

Form: EW_DICOM_CONF.doc

The Offline- Media Application Entity exports images (single or multiframe, a set of marked
images, a whole patient folder or a set of patient folders only Vision) to a floppy (not Vision), a
MOD, a CD-R, DVD (only Vision) and USB Storage medium. It is associated with the local realworld activity Export <Medium Type>. The export is performed upon user request for the selected
images. Maximum size of Multiframe is 2 GByte.

DICOM Conformance Statement

A.5.1.2 Functional Definition of AEs

A.5.1.2.1 Functional Definition of Offline-Media Application Entity
First the user has to set the format of the desired medium to DICOM or DICOM 512x512 8bit
(Vision). On the MOSAIC-screen he can select a set of images and send the export job to the desired
medium.

A.5.1.3 Sequencing of Real World Activities

At least one image must exist before Offline Media Application Entity can be invoked. The operator
must insert a new or not empty medium before invocation of the Offline-Media Application Entity. The
Offline-Media Application first finds out the free space on the medium and compares it with the size of
data to be written. Then Offline-Media Application starts to write on the medium, exception: CD-R and
DVD the data are collected in a mirror-directory and burned after user confirmation.

A.5.1.4 File Meta Information Options

The implementation information written to the File Meta header in each file is see Table 4.2-3.

A.5.2 AE SPECIFICATION

DICOM Conformance Statement

A.5.2.1.2 Real World Activities

A.5.2.1.2.1 Activity Export to Medium and Import from Medium
The Offline Media Application Entity acts as an FSC and FSR using the interchange option when
requested to export SOP Instances from and to the local database.
Acting as an FSC the selected images and the corresponding DICOMDIR will be written together to
the desired medium, multisession is supported. As an optional feature a DICOM viewer is burned on
the CD, DVD or written on USB-Stick. The Ziehm Vision also writes a file README.TXT.
Acting as an FSR the contents of DICOMDIR will be displayed, the user steps through the whole
DICOM information model STUDY, SERIES and IMAGE. At last it shows the image on the monitor
(see DICOM Query/Retrieve MOVE). It only supports uncompressed Transfer Syntaxes (Little
Endian). On the device Vision the contents of the whole Medium is displayed without user interaction!

A.8.3 ZIEHM NAVIPORT 2D

The Ziehm NaviPort 2D has been created in the Year 2003.

A.8.3.1 Configuration
The configuration is described in A.4.4.1.2.1 Table A.4.4-3.

A.8.3.2 Navigation Flag

Ziehm Vision:
Others:

switch on Navigation in dialog Config Operation Settings

set Function to Navigation in dialog DICOM Settings Print Server

A.8.3.3 Behavior
If Navigation is on the C-arm sends two Udp messages to the configured navigation server at port
56666, the first after x-ray-off, the second at the end of stack filter.
Pressing STORE at the mobile stand, the image will be sent by DICOM Store to the navigation server.
The corresponding image archives the date and time of the udp-messages into the DICOM tags
Content Date (0008,0023) and Content Time (0008,0033) (Vision: net_naviImage = 2)
and
Study Date (0008,0020) and Study Time (0008,0030)
(Vision: net_naviStudy = 2)
Only XA-single images without image attributes are stored.

Form: EW_DICOM_CONF.doc

A.8.3.4 Form of UDP messages

<AETitle Ziehm NetPort>;<SW-Version>;<No of stack filter>;<No of message>;<date>;<time>;
i.e: first message:
ZiehmNP-F2526;21.000;4;1;20060930;120411;
second message: ZiehmNP-F2526;21.000;4;2;20060930;120411;
