1. Introduction
This note describes how to setup the K-PACS/Conquest DICOM PACS system used at Sylvania Veterinary Hospital. The requirements for SVH are: (a) At this time the only source of DICOM images at SVH is a Philips HDI 3500 ultrasound system. It is located at the network address of 192.168.1.100, and is set to use an AET of HDI3000, on the default port of 104. The ultrasound system will talk to the Conquest DICOM server, which is to be setup on the workstation CONSULT3 at address 192.168.1.15. The Conquest DICOM server will use an AET of CONQUEST and operate on the default port of 5678. All images from the ultrasound will be stored on CONSULT3 by Conquest, which will act as the PACS server for the rest of the workstations. The K-PACS viewer will be used on each of the client workstations to access images stored in the PACS. The K-PACS DICOM server in each workstation will be setup with an AET like KPACS-F1, KPACS-C3 etc. and all client workstations will use port 5679.
