Table 3: Revision History Document Version Date of Issue Status Description March-2013 Authorized Final version February-2014 Authorized Final version May-2017 Authorized Final version 3.2. Audience This Conformance Statement is intended for: (Potential) customers System integrators of medical equipment Marketing staff interested in system functionality Software designers implementing DICOM interfaces It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the DICOM standard Remarks The DICOM Conformance Statement is contained in chapter 4 through 8 and follows the contents and structuring requirements of DICOM PS 3.2. This DICOM Conformance Statement by itself does not guarantee successful interoperability of Philips equipment with non-philips equipment. The user (or user's agent) should be aware of the following issues: Interoperability Interoperability refers to the ability of application functions, distributed over two or more systems, to work successfully together. The integration of medical devices into an IT environment may require application functions that are not specified within the scope of DICOM. Consequently, using only the information provided by this Conformance Statement does not guarantee interoperability of Philips equipment with non-philips equipment. It is the user's responsibility to analyze thoroughly the application requirements and to specify a solution that integrates Philips equipment with non-philips equipment. Validation Philips equipment has been carefully tested to assure that the actual implementation of the DICOM interface corresponds with this Conformance Statement. Where Philips equipment is linked to non-philips equipment, the first step is to compare the relevant Conformance Statements. If the Conformance Statements indicate that successful information exchange should be possible, additional validation tests will be necessary to ensure the functionality, performance, accuracy and stability of image and image related data. It is the responsibility of the user (or user's agent) to specify the appropriate test suite and to carry out the additional validation tests. New versions of the DICOM Standard The DICOM Standard will evolve in future to meet the user's growing requirements and to incorporate new features and technologies. Philips is actively involved in this evolution and plans to adapt its equipment to future versions of the DICOM Standard. In order to do so, Philips reserves the right to make changes to its products or to discontinue its delivery. The user should ensure that any non-philips provider linking to Philips equipment also adapts to future versions of the DICOM Standard. If not, the incorporation of DICOM enhancements into Philips equipment may lead to loss of connectivity (in case of networking) and incompatibility (in case of media).

Following figure shows the relationship between the Local and Remote Real World Activities. Networking application data flow as a functional overview of these application entities. Figure 2: Application Flow Diagram Functional Definition of AE s This section contains a functional definition for each individual local Application Entity.

11 DICOM Conformance Statement: Allura FC II Page 11 of Functional Definition of ACP AE Allura FC II provides the DICOM Print Management Service Class support required to interface with a SCP. Therefore, the application plays the role as SCU. This involves the following functionality: Storage Service Class The ACP AE accepts (only from pre-configured systems) associations from systems that wish to store images using the C-STORE command (RWA Import Images). A remote SCU shall request an association with the ACP AE for Storage SOP class. After accepting the association, the ACP AE shall receive and respond to the Storage requests, and release the association when requested. The ACP AE can perform (only to pre-configured systems) the Storage service as SCU (RWA Transfer Images), triggered by the operator or by an event in the system, e.g. closing of an examination, acquisition of images). The ACP AE shall request an association with the selected remote SCP for all applicable Storage SOP classes. When the association is accepted, the ACP AE shall send the Storage requests (including data from local database), receive the Storage responses and act accordingly, and finally request for releasing the association. Print Management Service Class The ACP AE can perform the Print service as SCU (RWA Print Images), triggered by the operator. For each printed sheet, the ACP AE shall request an association with the selected remote SCP (i.e., a Print Server) for all applicable SOP classes of the applicable Print Management Meta SOP class. When the association is accepted, the ACP AE shall send the Print requests including data from local database (the N-GET-RQ message to get the printer status, the N-CREATE-RQ message to create the FilmSession and the FilmBox, the N-SET-RQ message to set the Image Box on the printer, finally, the N-ACTION-RQ message to give printer the command to print), receive the Print responses and act accordingly, and finally request for releasing the association. The ACP AE can perform the Print service as SCU (RWA Get Printer Status), triggered by the operator in the service mode. The ACP AE shall request an association with the selected remote SCP (Print Server) for the Printer SOP class. When the association is accepted, the ACP AE shall send the N-Get request, receive the responses from the Print Server and act accordingly, and finally request for releasing the association Verification Service Class The ACP AE accepts (only from pre-configured systems) associations from systems that wish to verify application level communication using the C-ECHO command (RWA Request Verification). A remote SCU shall request an association with the ACP AE for Verification SOP class. After accepting the association, the ACP AE shall receive and respond to the Verification request, and release the association when requested. The ACP AE can perform (only to pre-configured systems) the Verification service as SCU (triggered by the operator in the service mode). The ACP AE shall request an association. When the association is accepted, the ACP AE shall send the Verification request, receive the Verification response, and request for releasing the association Sequencing of Real World Activities The following sequence of Real World Activities (RWA) are supported by the Allura FC II: The clinical user manually transfers images to the Image Archive. As a result, the Allura FC II sends the C-STORE-RQ messages containing the images. The clinical user manually prints selected images. As a result, the Allura FC II sends the N-GET-RQ message to get the printer status, the N-CREATE-RQ message to create the Film Session and the Film Box, the N-SET-RQ message to set the Image Box on the printer. Finally, it sends the N-ACTION-RQ message to give the DICOM printer the command to print. The clinical users manually do the media storage such as CD/DVD. As a result, the Allura FC II creates the backup with DICOM SOP Instance for XA and SC modality The clinical user manually retrieves images from the media storage to the local database / application. The application is able to receive images for XA and SC modality, if it is configured as workstation. It receives the C-STORE- RQ messages containing the image.

Each request is forwarded and processed as individual request to Transfer Images.

16 DICOM Conformance Statement: Allura FC II Page 16 of 49 For each request to Transfer Images (i.e., transfer job), one association towards the remote system is established. Within the association, for each image, a C-STORE request is transmitted. Once the responses are received, the association is closed. A possible sequence of interactions between the ACP AE and a remote AE with only one C-STORE request is presented Proposed Presentation Contexts Figure 5: Sequencing of RWA Transfer Images Each time an association is initiated, the ACP AE proposes two presentation contexts to be used on that association.

B007 Data Set does not match SOP Class The association is aborted using ABORT and the send job is marked As failed (Real-World) Activity Print Management as SCU Description and Sequencing of Activities The operator can select images and request them to be printed on a printer (out of Choice list of configured printers). Each request is forwarded and processed as individual request to Print Images. The print job consists of data describing the images and graphics to be printed as well as the requested layout and other parameters. One print job on the Allura FC II may result in a number of film sessions with the printer equal to the number of printed film sheets. Each film sheet within the print job is internally processed, converted to a STANDARD/1,1 page and then an association towards the remote Print Server is established and the page image is sent to that Print Server. Once the transmission of the film sheet is completed, the association is closed. A sequence of interactions between the ACP AE and a remote AE to print one film sheet is presented as follows:

19 DICOM Conformance Statement: Allura FC II Page 19 of 49 Figure 7: Sequencing of RWA Print Images The following implementation remarks are important to achieve successful printing: Each film sheet is printed in a separate association. The number of Film Boxes per Film Session is one. The number of images per Film Box is one. The images to be printed on one film are rendered by the ACP AE into one logical image. This logical image is very large, depending on the pixel matrix size (pixels per line, lines per image). A rough indication is 20 Mbytes. One should take this into account when selecting the DICOM printer and the printer configuration (e.g. the amount of memory). The ACP AE will request for releasing the association when the print command is given (i.e. the N-ACTION Request); the association is not kept open for receiving N-EVENT-REPORTs of the Printer SOP Class. The specific SOP Conformance statement for the Basic Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class is described in the Conformance Statements for each of these SOP Class components. The Basic Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class consists of the following SOP Classes: - Printer SOP Class - Basic Film Session SOP Class - Basic Film Box SOP Class - Basic Grayscale Image Box SOP Class The specific SOP Conformance statement for the Basic Grayscale Print Management Meta SOP Class is described in the Conformance Statements for each of these SOP Class components.
