Vista Imaging Vista Routing - Manual (Page 87)

Appendix B: Using MAG_Decompressor
This section explains how to install and configure the Automatic Decompression Service
(MAG_Decompressor).
MAG_Decompressor can be installed on a VistARad workstation or on any other system
that is receiving compressed images via automatic or on-demand routing. Note that
MAG_Decompressor should NOT be installed on a DICOM Gateway.
Once it is configured, MAG_Decompressor runs in the background and will de-compress
routed images as they are received by the destination system.
This service does not need to be installed on systems that only receive uncompressed
routed images.
Licensing
A toolkit license is needed for each system that is sending or receiving compressed
images. For more information, contact VistA Imaging Customer Support.
