Vista Imaging Vista Routing - Manual (Page 91)

Glossary
This manual uses the following terms:
autorouting The automatic transmission of selected images to one or more destinations.
Autorouting functions are managed using the Routing Gateway.
destination An intended recipient of routed images. Destinations can be Imaging
destinations, such as VistARad workstations, or DICOM destinations, such as a film
printer or external PACS (or any other DICOM Storage Service Class Provider).
DICOM TRANSMIT DESTINATION File (#2006.587) The FileMan file where information
about DICOM destinations is stored. This file should not be edited directly; to update the
contents of this file, use the DICOM Gateway to update the SCU_List.dic file.
evaluation processor The process responsible for handling entries in the rule evaluation
queue. This process is started or stopped from the Routing Gateway, and executes from
the VistA Host.
IMAGE BACKGROUND QUEUE File (#2006.03) The FileMan file where rule evaluation
queue entries are stored. The IMAGE BACKGROUND QUEUE File contains entries used by
various processes to move, copy, or delete images. The IMAGE BACKGROUND QUEUE File
is populated by Image Gateways, and is used by both the Background Processor and the
evaluation processor.
locks Used on a VistARad workstation prevent more than one radiologist from
interpreting the same exam. If a radiologist opens a locked exam, they will be notified
that the exam is locked, and while they can display the exam, they will be unable to
update its status.
NETWORK LOCATION File (#2005.2) The FileMan file where routing destinations are
defined. The NETWORK LOCATION File contains entries for all physical storage devices in
the Imaging system.
on-demand routing The transmission of manually selected exams to one or more
destinations. Images are selected using the VistARad diagnostic workstation and are
transmitted by the Routing Gateway.
receiving site The recipient of routed images. The receiving site provides either a
storage folder (for Imaging destinations) or a DICOM Storage SCP (for DICOM
destinations) for images to be routed to.
Route.dic The DICOM Gateway dictionary file used to store routing rules.
