Each database needs its own configuration file and its own port number.

EFILM – INSTALL T EST CLIENT
To test the dicom query/retrieve, download the latest version of Efilm (www.efilm.net) and use
this client to test the dicom transfer (both ridicom, and riqueryd). Download the executable
installation script, and double click on it to install Efilm. Accept the default locations and
configurations.
To configure Efilm, you must configure both the DICOM storage class to receive images, and the
DICOM query/retrieve to search and request exams to be sent from RI to the Efilm station. Set up
the dicom storage class first, and use Ridicom to test the transmission of an exam.
F.
EFILM – CONFIGURE DICOM STORAGE SCP
Bring up the “Process Manager” from the Efilm menu (under the Start menu). Click on the DICOM
Server, and select the “settings” button. Lets configure the AE_TITLE and Port number to
“EFILM_SCP” and port “4006”. Click “OK” and answer Yes to restart processes. You can now
quit the process manager. This will be started automatically each time you reboot.
Now we can test Ridicom to send an exam to
Efilm. Bring up Ridicom and add a new
destination. The new destination should have
the correct information (Alias=efilm, Remote
Host=64.249.104.194,
Called
AE
Title=EFILM_SCP, Port=4006, Calling AE
Title=RI_DICOM). Save the new destination.
Now select an exam (MR or CT preferably),
select the efilm destination, and click on
“transmit images”. Ridicom should process the
images, send them, and then report “Transfer
Complete” on the status bar.
You can now click on Efilm on the desktop of
your PC, and then click on the “?” button to
select the exam. It should be listed under the
“Local Exams” tab.
G.
EFILM – CONFIGURE QUERY RETRIEVE
You can now proceed to testing the Query/Retrieve capabilities. The first thing to do is to setup a
Query/Retrieve server inside of Efilm. The following image shows the parameters required to
setup this server. It requires a description which will appear on the Patient Select window, and
the detailed parameters of the query/retrieve server. RIqueryd should be configured on the Sun
workstation (usually the database server) to allow these queries as described previously.
RIqueryd requires 2 lines in its config file to allow the query retrieve to work for the host. The
first line is to allow the efilm host to get a list of patients and identify the Query/Retrieve
AE_TITLE (CANON_QR). The second line tells RIqueryd where to send the patient list and the
images. This was set up previously as the storage class SCP (EFILM_SCP). The following line
