============================================================================= Run Date: JUL 30, 2013 Designation: MAG*3*34 Package : MAG - IMAGING Priority: Mandatory Version : 3 SEQ #87 Status: Released Compliance Date: SEP 27, 2013 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)MAG*3*93 <<= must be installed BEFORE `MAG*3*34' (v)MAG*3*99 <<= must be installed BEFORE `MAG*3*34' (v)MAG*3*123 <<= must be installed BEFORE `MAG*3*34' Subject: STORING ALL DICOM OBJECTS Category: - Routine - Enhancement (Mandatory) Description: ============ MAG*3.0*34 enables the storage of all composite DICOM objects that are transmitted to VistA Imaging in their original native DICOM format, without any alterations or format changes. Specifically, MAG*3.0*34 enables the storage of these classes of objects in DICOM format: - MAG*3.0*34 continues to support the storage of all Service Object Pair (SOP) classes, which could be stored in DICOM format in MAG*3.0*99, such as Digital X-Ray Image Storage, CT Image Storage, and MR Image Storage. These images can be stored and displayed in VistARad and Clinical Display. They are referred to as previously supported SOP classes. They are referred to as newly supported SOP classes. The ability to display these objects in the display clients will be added in future patches. - In addition to the SOP classes that could be stored in their original format in MAG*3.0*99, MAG*3.0*34 enables the storage of most other Service Object Pair (SOP) classes that could not be stored in DICOM format before. Examples of such SOP classes are multi-frame CTs, multi-frame MRs, or structured reports. They are referred to as newly supported SOP classes. The ability to display these objects in the display clients will be added in future patches. Important Display of the newly supported SOP classes (DICOM objects) will be supported in future releases. You will not be able to view these objects in the display clients (Clinical Capture, Clinical Display, and VistA RAD). You can access these objects using the Query/Retrieve application. The patch features and benefits are detailed in the MAG*3.0*34 Patch Description.
