ACUSON X300 system users can store images and other data directly on the ACUSON X300 system
hard disk. Images and structured reports can be exported to a DICOM archive server or workstation on a
network. In the following sections, ACUSON X300 system Real World Activities are indicated by “Real
World Activity” name while “X300 AE” indicates the invoked Application Entity. Similarly, the activities
associated with service providers are indicated as “Real World Service Activity.”

3.1.1 Verification
Verification is a part of the DICOM configuration located on the ‘DICOM’ page of the System Presets.
Verification can be used to send a DICOM Verification request to a remote Application Entity (AE) and
listen for a response.
When used as a diagnostic tool, Verification returns the following messages to the user:
• If the verification succeeds: “DICOM - Successfully contacted system”
• If the verification fails: “DICOM - Unable to communicate with system”

DICOM Conformance Statement

Figure 2. Verification Model.

3.1.2 DICOM Store


When requested, the ACUSON X300 sends images and/or structured reports to the preconfigured
DICOM Storage server.
DICOM Store can be seen as two sub-operations:
• queueing images and/or structured reports for transfer
• Transferring images and/or structured reports to the storage server.
Queuing images and structured reports for transfer:
ACUSON X300 can be configured to automatically queue up images and structured reports for transfer
as they are being created. “AutoStore to DICOM” option in DICOM presets has to be set for this.
Alternatively, user can select exams or individual images and manually queue them up from Review
mode. When an exam is selected for DICOM store all images and structured reports (generally zero or
one) will be queued. Structured reports can’t be selected individually for store, the entire exam must be
stored.
Transfer of images and structured reports to the storage server:
Further, once images and/or structured reports are queued they may be immediately transferred or
delayed till the end of study using the transfer storage configuration.
ACUSON X300 supports two storage configurations: “Store At End of Exam” and “Store During Exam”.
If the storage configuration is set to “Store At End of Exam” transfer attempts begin when the user selects
“Close Study” or “New Patient”.
If the storage configuration is set to “Store during Exam”, transfer attempts to destination devices begin
immediately after they are queued.
For both “Store At End of Exam” and “Store During Exam” settings, image and/or structured report
transfer will be delayed if the ACUSON X300 is busy performing another DICOM Store operation.

3.1.3 DICOM Print


ACUSON X300 system is capable of grayscale (B/W) and color printing.
When requested, single frame images will be printed to a pre-configured DICOM network printer.
DICOM Print can be seen as two sub-operations:
• paging images for transfer
• transferring pages to printer
Paging images for transfer:
ACUSON X300 can be configured to automatically queue up images to be printed on B/W Printer and/or
Color printer as they are being created.
Alternatively, user can select exams or individual images and manually queue them up from Review
mode for print.
Every image queued up is added into a page in the respective printer layout (DICOM B/W Printer Layout
or DICOM Color Printer Layout).
Transfer of pages to the Printer:
Further, pages may be immediately transferred to the printer or delayed till the end of study based on the
transfer configuration.
ACUSON X300 supports two configurations: “Print At End of Exam” and “Print When Page Full”.
If the configuration is set to “Print At End of Exam,” transfer attempts of all pages to the destination
DICOM printer begin as a batch when the user ends the exam.
If the configuration is set to “Print When Page Full”, transfer attempt of a page to the destination DICOM
printer begins as soon as it becomes full.
For both “Print At End of Exam” and “Print when page full” settings, page transfer will be delayed if the
ACUSON X300 is busy performing another DICOM Print operation.

Figure 4. Print Model.

3.1.4 Patient Registration using Worklist


Patient registration can be automated by using the 'Worklist' Real World Activity. Pressing the 'New
Patient' key on the keyboard initiates the patient data registration process and closes the previous active
study. Pressing the 'Worklist' button on the patient data display screen invokes the Worklist query screen.
The Worklist query screen can also be initiated from the Study screen.

© Siemens Healthcare, 2009 Version 5.0 Page 14 of 139


ACUSON X300TM Ultrasound System
DICOM Conformance Statement

Pressing the 'Search' button will attempt to find all matching patient data using the information entered on
the Worklist Query screen. Patient name fields that are partially filled or empty will be treated as though
an implicit wildcard was appended at the end of each field. Patient ID, Requested Procedure ID and
Accession number will be exact match only. If no matches are found, a message will be presented to the
operator indicating so. If more that one matching patient is found, a pick list of patient procedures will be
presented to the user to select from. Each of the fields will be sortable in ascending and descending
order.
The pick list of patient procedures will be limited to a number of preset entries. If more than this number of
matching records are found in the query, the search will terminate and a the user will be notified. The
search list criteria will contain:
• Patient name
• Patient ID
• Accession number

• Exam start date/time range


• Requested Procedure ID
• US/All modalities
• Scheduled station AE title

Figure 5. Modality Worklist Model

3.1.5 Modality Performed Procedure Step


The ACUSON X300 System supports reporting of Modality Performed Procedure Step (MPPS) orders
when the patient registration process utilizes the ‘Worklist’ Real World Activity. Procedure steps are
presented to the operator after successful query of a server that supports the MPPS option. A detail
window allows the operator access to individual scheduled procedure steps. Pressing the ‘Procedures’
push button on the Review Screen actualizes the detail window when multiple procedure steps are listed
for the patient.

Figure 6. MPPS Model

3.1.6 Removable Media Storage


The ACUSON X300 can perform DICOM operations to its standard on-board 120mm CD/DVD disk drive.
The ACUSON X300 performs the File Set Creator and File Set Reader Roles for CD and DVD disks. The
File Set Reader functionality does not support import of DICOM Structured Reports or measurements of
imported images. Both limitations are overcome when DICOM and TIFF/AVI format is exported to
CD/DVD. A DICOM conforming CD/DVD media is created when the user saves studies in DICOM format
to the CD/DVD. A DICOM 3.0 conforming DICOMDIR file is created together with the directory structures,
image files and structured reports (if any exist).

3.1.7 Storage Commitment


The user can exercise the Storage Commitment option by configuring and selecting a Storage
Commitment server from the DICOM Presets menu. The ACUSON X300 system requests commitment of
images and structured reports (if any exist) and upon successful acknowledgment from the Storage
server marks the study on the system hard drive as ‘Archived’.

Figure 7. Storage Commitment Model

3.2 AE Functional Definition


3.2.1 Verification Real-World Activities
The ACUSON X300 application entity performs Verification Service Class as an SCU and SCP allowing
the operator to verify the ability of an application on a remote device to receive DICOM messages and
allowing the operator of a remote DICOM device to verify the ACUSON X300 system’s ability to receive
DICOM messages. (C-ECHO DIMSE)

3.2.2 Store Real-World Activities


The ACUSON X300 Application Entity (AE) performs all of the functions to transmit ultrasound images,
structured reports and associated data to network servers or workstations. The ACUSON X300 AE
supports the Ultrasound Image, Ultrasound Multi-Frame Image, Ultrasound Image (Retired), Ultrasound
Multi-Frame (Retired) and Secondary Capture storage SOP classes SOP classes as an SCU.
The ACUSON X300 AE also supports Structured Reports, for Obstetric-GYN, Vascular and Cardiac
studies, using the Comprehensive SR SOP Class as an SCU.
The ACUSON X300 AE initiates an association for C-STORE Requests to store providers when the user
invokes “DICOM Store”. The association may be used to store multiple images, clips and structured
reports and is closed when no images, clips or structured reports are available to be stored to the remote
device for five seconds.

3.2.3 Storage Commitment - Push Model Real-World Activities


The ACUSON X300 AE supports Storage Commitment Push Model SOP class to inform servers when all
the store operations for a study have been completed. The Storage Commitment SCU uses the N-
ACTION primitive to request safekeeping of a set of SOP Instances. The Storage Commitment SCU also
processes the N-EVENT-REPORT primitives that are received from the SCP indicating ‘successful’ or
‘non-successful’ commitment status. The N-EVENT-REPORT information is used to mark a study as
being successfully archived to a DICOM SCP.
The successful commit status and archival indication on the X300 does not ensure permanent archival of
the images and Structured Reports. The operations performed by the SCP are dependent on its
capabilities and configuration.

3.2.4 Print Real-World Activities


The ACUSON X300 AE provides all aspects of the Print Management SCU. The ACUSON X300 AE
initiates an association to the printer when the user invokes “DICOM Print”. The association may be used
to print multiple pages and is closed when no pages are available to be printed to the remote device for
five seconds.

3.2.5 Modality Worklist Real-World Activities


The ACUSON X300 AE supports the DICOM Basic Worklist Management Service as an SCU. The AE
initiates an association to the active Worklist server when a Worklist query is selected (via the “Worklist”

© Siemens Healthcare, 2009 Version 5.0 Page 18 of 139


ACUSON X300TM Ultrasound System
DICOM Conformance Statement

button). The association is closed upon the completion of each query. A preset maximum number of
matching results is accepted, at which point, the ACUSON X300 AE issues a C-CANCEL-RQ request.

3.2.6 Modality Performed Procedure Step Real-World Activities


The ACUSON X300 AE supports Modality Performed Procedure Step (MPPS) in the role of SCU. The
ACUSON X300 is capable of displaying scheduled procedure steps via the User Interface (UI) for
Modality Performed Procedure Step. The operator can select a single PPS. The operator can notify the
MPPS server that a MPPS is ‘In Progress’, ‘Discontinued’ or ‘Completed’. The user is also allowed to
append procedure steps to existing or previously completed procedure steps.

3.2.7 Removable Media Storage Real-World Activities


The ACUSON X300 AE provides a standard implementation of DICOM Store to CD or DVD. The
ACUSON X300 AE selects one or more studies and exports the same to CD or DVD. ACUSON X300 AE
creates a DICOM File Format Image File for every image, clip and structured report in each of the
selected studies.
A DICOMDIR file is created along with the files.
Measurements are not supported on imported images unless TIFF/AVI format is exported.
The DICOM SR cannot be imported from media unless the TIFF/AVI format is exported along with the
DICOM SR.

3.2.8 Sequencing of Real-World Activities


Print, Store, Echo, Worklist, Storage Commit and MPPS commands can be transmitted simultaneously
within the limits described below.
Storage Commit
The Storage Commitment (if enabled) command is sent in the following situations:
a. On series close, when all images have previously stored successfully.
b. The series is closed before all images are stored successfully, all previous stores have succeeded and
the last image stores successfully.
c. The series is closed before all images are stored successfully, at least one store has succeeded, at
least one store has failed and the last store with non-zero retry count fails or succeeds.
d. A series has been partially committed as in c. Later, due to "Retry Job” button press on the Store
Status UI screen the store jobs are retried. Another Storage Commit is sent when at least one store has
succeeded and the last store with non-zero retry count fails or succeeds.
MPPS
The MPPS (if enabled) command is sent in the following situations:
a. N-CREATE command is sent whenever a new procedure step is selected or an unscheduled
procedure is created on the system. The state of the MPPS command is set to “In-Progress”.
b. N-SET command is sent when the Procedure Step is closed by the user pressing either the Completed
or Discontinued button on the Close Procedure dialog. The state of the MPPS command is set, according
to the state (Completed or Discontinued) set by the user.

4.3.2 Real World Activity – Store


ACUSON X300 facilitates users to store images and structured reports as they are being created or later
in review mode.
Queuing images during acquisition
“Autostore to DICOM” option in DICOM presets has to be set. One or more of “Print/Store 1”, “Print/Store
2” and “Clip Store” keys on the control panel can be configured for Store (Disk Store, D.Store, Clip
capture). When the user presses one of the configured keys, an image or clip is acquired, stored on the
hard disk and queued up to be transferred to the storage server. Structured reports, if any, will be stored
automatically after the study is closed and each time the report is modified after study close.
Queueing images and structured reports in Review mode
User can select one or more closed studies and queue them up for Storage. The DICOM Store button is
available in Review screen for this operation. All images and structured reports (if any) are stored. The
study must be closed to generate a structured report.
Transfer of images to the storage server
See section 3.1.2
Associated Real World Activities
When images and/or structured reports are transferred from the hard disk to a DICOM Store SCP, the
system establishes an association between the ACUSON X300 AE and the configured DICOM device.
The association may be used to store multiple images and/or structured reports and is closed when no
images or structured reports are available to be stored to the remote device for five seconds.
Proposed Presentation Context
The following Presentation Contexts are presented to the SCP in an A-ASSOCIATE-RQ for DIMSE C-
STORE storage services. The storage services utilize C-STORE services, as defined by the DICOM
Standard. Table 4 represents all “Store” presentation contexts.

ACUSON X300TM Ultrasound System
DICOM Conformance Statement

If the C-STORE operation is not successful, the image(s) and Structured Report(s), if any, are spooled on
the ACUSON X300 hard drive. A user-configured number of additional attempts are made to store the
image(s) and Structured Report(s). If these attempts fail, the user must select the job and press “Retry
Job” on the Store Status page to complete the C-STORE operation.
All image and Structured Report storage on the ACUSON X300 system hard drive is temporary in nature.
If an attempt is made to store images on a full ACUSON X300 system hard drive, the system will attempt
to delete studies archived to CD or DICOM. If no delete able data exists, a “DISK FULL” message is
displayed on the ACUSON X300 system display. The user must then delete studies not archived in order
to store additional images.

4.3.3 Real World Activity - Print


ACUSON X300 facilitates user to print images as they are being created or later in review mode.

Paging images during acquisition


One or more of “Print/Store 1” and “Print/Store 2” keys on the control panel can be configured for Print
(DICOM B/W Print and/or DICOM Color Print). When the user presses one of the configured keys on the
control panel, the image is acquired, stored on the hard disk and placed in a page under the respective
printer layout (DICOM B/W Printer Layout or DICOM Color Printer Layout).

Paging images in Review mode


User can select either individual images from open or closed studies, or one or more closed studies and
queue them up for print. DICOM B/W Printer and DICOM Color Printer buttons are available in Review
screen for this operation. When a study is selected for print, all single-frame images belonging to the
study will be printed.

Transfer of pages to the Printer


Pages may be immediately transferred or delayed till the end of study using the transfer configuration.
ACUSON X300 supports two configurations: “Print At End of Exam” and “Print When Page Is Full”.
If the configuration is set to “Print At End of Exam”, all pages queued to destination devices will be
transferred as a batch when the user selects “Close Study” or “New Patient”.
If the configuration is set to “Print When Page Is Full”, a page is transferred to destination devices
immediately after it is full.
For both “Print At End of Exam”, and “Print When Page Is Full” settings, image transfer will be delayed if
the ACUSON X300 is busy performing another DICOM Command (Store/Print/Echo).

Associated Real World Activities


An association is established when the user initiates a “B/W Print” or “Color Print” operation from the
Review screen. Individual images or entire exams can be transferred to the selected DICOM Print device.
The association is closed no pages are available to be printed for five seconds. An association may also
be opened after a network outage or when the system is powered-on if images are queued to be printed.

4.3.5 Real World Activity - Modality Performed Procedure Step


This operation allows the AE to create an instance of the Modality Performed Procedure Step SOP Class
(MPPS) and provide information about a specific real world Performed Procedure Step that is under
control of the SCU. This operation is invoked through the DIMSE N-CREATE and N-SET services.
The ACUSON X300 conforms to the IHE Scheduled Workflow use case.
A list of scheduled procedures and procedure steps will be accessible from the Worklist and Procedure
screens. The Performed Procedure Step User Interface allows the operator to set the status of the
performed procedure step. The system shall establish an association for N-CREATE and N-SET, if
another N-CREATE or N-SET is available within 5 seconds, it will be sent using the same association.
Starting a Performed Procedure Step
When the user depresses the ‘OK’ button on the New Patient Screen a performed procedure SOP Class
instance will be created using the N-CREATE DIMSE service for the selected scheduled procedure.
Ending a Performed Procedure Step
When the user selects ‘Completed’ or ‘Discontinued’ from the MPPS User Interface, the performed
procedure step will be closed using the N-SET DIMSE service.
New Patient Request
If the ‘New Patient’ button is selected and there are opened performed procedure steps, the user shall be
prompted for a closure status for the opened procedure step by the MPPS User Interface. Any opened
procedure steps must be closed before any ‘new patient’ data can be entered.
System Shutdown
If the user requests ‘System Shutdown’ and there is an open performed procedure step, the user will be
prompted for a closure status for the open procedure step. All procedure steps should be closed before
the system can be shutdown. Failure to close a procedure step will result in the procedure step being set
to Discontinued.
Error Handling
If the MPPS operation is not successful, the MPPS command is spooled on the ACUSON X300 hard
drive. A user-configured number of additional attempts are made to complete the MPPS Commands. If
these attempts fail, the user must select this job and press “Retry Job” on the Store Status page to
complete the MPPS operation.

4.3.6 Real-World Activity - Storage Commitment


This operation allows the AE to create an instance of the Storage Commitment SOP Class and to provide
information about a specific Real World Activity that is under the control of the SCU. The AE invokes a
request for safekeeping of images by the N-ACTION REQUEST. Referenced in the N-ACTION Request
are the SOP class UID(s) and SOP instance UID(s) for all STORE Class objects requesting commitment
by the SCU.
Storage Commit
The Storage Commitment (if enabled) command is sent in the following situations:
a. On series close, when all images and Structured Reports have previously stored successfully.
b. The series was previously closed, all previous stores have succeeded and the last image or Structured
Report stores successfully.

© Siemens Healthcare, 2009 Version 5.0 Page 81 of 139


ACUSON X300TM Ultrasound System
DICOM Conformance Statement

c. The series was previously closed, at least one store has succeeded, at least one store has failed and
the last store with non-zero retry count fails or succeeds.
d. A series has been partially committed as in c. Later, due to "Retry Job” button press on the Store
Status UI screen the store jobs are retried. Another Storage Commit is sent when at least one store has
succeeded and the last store with non-zero retry count fails or succeeds.
The ACUSON X300 waits for the return of a successful N-ACTION RESPONSE Status Code applicable
for the associated request indicating whether the commitment request was successful or a failure. The
ACUSON X300 waits for the N-EVENT REPORT from the SCP for at most 48 hours. The ACUSON X300
is capable of accepting the N-EVENT REPORT on the association it initiates for the N-ACTION or one
initiated by the SCP. Studies with all SOP instances marked as ‘successful’ in the N-EVENT REPORT will
be eligible for deletion from the system hard drive.
The ACUSON X300 allows the user to configure a Storage Commitment Server which may be different
from the Storage Server. Thus, the Storage Commitment SCP must wait for an appropriate time for the
stored images to arrive from the Storage server.
Image-By-Image and Batch Storage Commitment are supported as specified in “Vista DICOM
Conformance Requirements for Image Modalities in radiology, Cardiology, Dental, Ophthalmology and
other specialities” (Version 2.3).
Storage Commitment of Structured Reports is supported.

7.0 Configuration
ACUSON X300 Networking and DICOM parameters can be configured through the ACUSON X300
System Presets Menu screens. The following configuration is supported:
• General system
• Network (local and remote)
• DICOM Store
• DICOM Print
• DICOM Modality Worklist

• DICOM Storage Commitment


• DICOM Modality Performed Procedure Step

7.1 General System Configuration


The following system parameter can be configured via the ACUSON X300 System Presets Basic Menu
screens. This parameter is mapped to a DICOM image attribute:
• Hospital Name

7.1.1 Hospital Name


The user can enter the organization (i.e. hospital, clinic, etc.) as a text string in the Hospital Name field of
the System Presets - General menu. The Organization Name field is transferred to DICOM devices as
Institution Name - DICOM data element (0008, 0080).

7.2 DICOM Network Configuration


DICOM and networking parameters can be configured for both the local ACUSON X300 device and
remote DICOM service class providers through the System Presets DICOM Menu.

© Siemens Healthcare, 2009 Version 5.0 Page 87 of 139


ACUSON X300TM Ultrasound System
DICOM Conformance Statement

7.2.1 Local
The ACUSON X300 local network parameters are configurable. The following network parameters can be
configured for a ACUSON X300 device:
• Host Name

• IP address
• Subnet IP mask
• Default Gateway
• DICOM Application Entity Title

7.2.2 Remote
Multiple DICOM service class providers can be configured through the system presets. The following
network parameters can be configured for each remote device:

• DICOM Device Application Entity Title


• IP address
• Port Number

7.2.2.1 DICOM Store Configuration


Several configuration settings are provided in addition to those described in Section 7.2.2.
The Image Format setting provides control over the Presentation Contexts proposed during Association
negotiation. This is documented in Section Association Establishment Order.
Configuration options are provided to control the Photometric Interpretation of grayscale images stored to
a DICOM Store SCP. Grayscale images can be stored as RGB, YBR-FULL-422 or MONOCHROME2.
Many ACUSON X300 B-Mode and M-Mode images contain no significant color, the only color is in the
Acuson ‘a’ transducer position marker and the ECG trace, if used. When “Store grayscale images as
Monochrome” is selected, single-frame images with no significant color content will be stored as
MONOCHROME2. When “Store grayscale images as Monochrome” is selected, all multi-frame images
are stored as RGB or YBR-FULL-422. When “Store grayscale images and clips as Monochrome” is
selected, B-Mode and M-Mode single- and multi-frame images with no significant color content will be
stored as MONOCHROME2.

7.2.2.2 DICOM Storage Commitment Configuration


Configuration of DICOM Storage Commitment remote devices must be performed separately from
DICOM Store Configuration. The ACUSON X300 supports Storage Commitment to the same remote
device as Store or to a different device.

7.2.2.3 DICOM Modality Worklist Configuration


Configuration of DICOM Modality Worklist remote devices is enabled in X300.

7.2.2.4 DICOM Modality Performed Procedure Step Configuration


Configuration of DICOM Modality Performed Procedure Step remote devices must be performed
separately from DICOM Modality Worklist Configuration. The ACUSON X300 supports MPPS to the same
remote device as Modality Worklist or to a different device.
The “Store Image Format” setting controls the Referenced SOP Class UID (0008,1150) in the Referenced

© Siemens Healthcare, 2009 Version 5.0 Page 88 of 139


ACUSON X300TM Ultrasound System
DICOM Conformance Statement

Image Sequence (0008,1140) of the MPPS N-SET sent by the ACUSON X300. Due to the ACUSON
X300’s ability to select from multiple Presentation Contexts during Association Negotiation, it is necessary
to use this setting.
In the majority of installations the “Store Image Format” should be left at the default setting of “New
Ultrasound”. There are two cases when the “Store Image Format” must be set to “Old Ultrasound” or
“Secondary Capture”:
• When the active Storage Server “Image Format” is set to “Old Ultrasound” or “Secondary
Capture”.
• When the active Storage Server “Image Format” is set to “Automatic”, but the Storage Server
does not support US Image and US Multi-frame Image.
In both cases the correct setting can be determined by reviewing the DICOM Conformance Statement of
the Storage Server and following the instructions below. DICOM Conformance Statements are usually
available on the manufacturer’s Web site.
• If at least one of US Image and US Multi-frame Image are listed in the DICOM Conformance
Statement and the active Storage Server “Image Format” is set to “Automatic” then “New
Ultrasound” is the correct setting for “Store Image Format”.
• If the above is not true and at least one of US Image (Retired) and US Multi-frame Image
(Retired) are listed in the DICOM Conformance Statement then “Old Ultrasound” is the correct
setting for “Store Image Format”.
• If neither of the above are true then “Secondary Capture” is the correct setting for “Store Image
Format”.

7.2.2.5 DICOM Print Configuration


For each DICOM Print server, the following data is configurable by the user using the System Presets
DICOM Print User Interface. The effect of changing parameters of the DICOM Print server will be seen at
the next created film sheet. The current film sheet is not affected by changing these parameters.

8.4 Virus Protection


The ACUSON X300 computer system's networking has been configured to significantly reduce the
possibility of virus and hacking vulnerabilities. On the X300 computer system, all ingress TCP and UDP
ports are closed and/or absent of any type of server. The only exception to this is due to the necessity of
a DICOM server available at ingress TCP port 104. Additionally, all non-essential computer services and

components are disabled to minimize X300 egress network footprint.

Outside of some minimal network exchanges required by the X300's commercial computer operating
system, the only network connections initiated by the X300 are for DICOM connectivity and network-
share export function.
