0 Introduction
This document describes the PHILIPS HD3 Ultrasound System’s conformance to the ACR-NEMA DICOM (Digital
Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standard and satisfies the DICOM requirement for a vendor conformance
specification.

The HD3 system is an ultrasound imaging device. The DICOM option of the HD3 system provides a means to send
images via DICOM protocol to storage servers and printers.

0.1 DICOM Background

The DICOM information exchange specification provides a definitive structure of commands and information that
allow for the intercommunication of medical imaging devices. Developed by the American College of Radiology
(ACR) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the DICOM standard strives to promote
communication of image information through the use of a standardized set of command classes and information
semantics.

The DICOM standard defines classes of information that are common to many modalities of medical imaging.
However, to meet the specific needs of information content for such a diverse range of information, the DICOM
specification defines structures for a multitude of medical data. To alleviate the need for applications to implement
every aspect of the DICOM specification, a list of conformance tables for every modality was created to define the
minimum set of information necessary for data exchanges. A requirement of the DICOM specification is to maintain a
compliance document that outlines a subset of DICOM services and data classes that are supported by an application.
The purpose of this document is to define a subset of DICOM for the exchange of information with the PHILIPS HD3.

This document is written with respect to the ACR-NEMA Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)
version number 3.0, 2003 version. For complete definitions of terms and acronyms in this document, please refer to
the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Standard.

1 Networking

1.1 Implementation Model

The HD3 DICOM feature incorporates the DICOM 3.0 standard for networked image printing and image store
functions. Images are transferred from the HD3 ultrasound system using standard network connections to be
processed on a centralized printer or stored on a DICOM compliant file server.

1.1.1 Application Data Flow Diagram

The diagram below represents the HD3’s Application Entities (AE) (in the boxes) and depicts the relationship of the
Application Entity’s use of DICOM to invoke real-world activities (shown on the right side).

There are three local application entities that occur in the HD3 system

– The Storage Application Entity sends images to a remote AE. Sending images depends on user configuration,
“Batch”, “Send As You Go” or “Manual”. For “Batch” and “Manual” configuration, the system opens an

HD3 2.0 DICOM Conformance Statement 989605349120033 Rev. A Page 5

 association, sends all images in the study, and closes the association. If “Send As You Go” is selected, the system
handle the association with the Storage SCP Server using the following method;

a. Open Association when first image is acquired, and keep association open until study is closed.

b. If an error occurs while sending an image to the server because there is no longer an open association
(server timed-out), attempt to re-establish the association.

c. When study is closed, close any open association.

– The Hardcopy Application Entity prints images on a remote AE (Printer). Printing methods are equal to the
Storage Application Entity’s.

1.1.2 Functional Definitions of AE’s

1.1.2.1 The Storage Application Entity

An association request is sent to the destination AE(s) and upon successful negotiation of a Presentation Context, the
image transfer is started. Each export to the Storage SCP is logged the DICOM Log.

1.1.2.2 The Hardcopy Application Entity

An association is established with the printer(s) and the printer’s status determined. If the printer is operating
normally, the film sheets will be printed. Each export to the Print SCP is logged the DICOM Log.

1.1.3 Sequencing of Real-world Activities

In order for any of the remote processes to be able to provide the Real World Activity SCP services which the HD3
system, an SCU, has requested, the appropriate association must have been opened before sending images to the
DICOM equipment. This initiation occurs when first image is acquired in "Send As You Go" mode, the exam is ended
in "Batch" Mode or user click "send" command in Review. There are no other sequencing requirements.

1.2 AE Specifications

1.2.1 Storage Application Entity - Specification

The Storage AE provides conformance to the following DICOM SOP Classes as an SCU:

1.2.1.2.1 Real-World Activity

1.2.1.2.1.1 Associated Real-World Activity

- For “Send As You Go” mode, the storage AE will open an association to the Storage Server when first image is acquired after
entering patient’s ID in New Patient window. (Entering patient’s Name is optional.) The association remains open during the
exam and the images will be sent to the Storage Server automatically. The association will be closed when user invokes End
Exam key.
- For “Batch” mode, the storage AE will open associations to the Storage Server when user invokes End Exam Key. All images
will be sent to the Storage Server. After all images are transferred, the association will be closed.
- For “Manual” mode, the storage AE will open associations to the Storage Server when the real-world activity occurs
corresponding to the user invocation of “Send” command in Review. All images in Selected exams from Review will be sent
to the Storage Server. After all images are transferred, the association will be closed.

- SCU : The user selecting the “Test” button on the dicom send or print dialog of “Review”. This tool allows the user to ensure
all data was correctly entered and the remote device may be contacted. It uses C-Echo and verifies the remote device supports
all configured SOP Classes. Any SOP Classes requested that are not supported will report, “failed”. Operations may continue,
but objects of the type that are not supported will not be exported.
- SCP: The system listens on the port configured on the DICOM Setup.
