PacsOne Server

Is it possible to export studies to a local drive from the users perspective ( not a drive on the pacsone server ) or using the download feature, include a dicom directory to be able to create a cd/dvd to view in another DICOM viewer?

It may be possible to add an option to the current Export page to compress exported volume (s) into zip file (s), and add URL links in the Job Status page so that when the Export is complete, users can click on the URL link (s) to download the exported zip file (s).

This is a very good feature suggestion, we'll try to implement it in the next release if it's feasible.

Would it also be possible to add additional files to the export to be able to add a dicom viewer program when creating the DICOM cd?

Currently, you'd need to add those files (such as a viewer program) manually to the exported directory content, before burning content of the exported directory to CD/DVDs.

Is it possible to add the following:
1. Ability to import dicom cd from a remote workstation using the browser.
2. Add dicom viewer program files to export directory when exporting a zip file.

1. This is possibe with the current version of PacsOne, if the CD/DVD on the remote workstation is made network-accessible by the PacsOne host:

For example, if the Dicom CD is on a remote workstation, and you've shared this CD drive on the server where PacsOne is installed by:

A. If you are running Windows, you can map a network drive for the shared CD folder on this remote workstation:

\\remoteWorkstation\cd --> Z:\

B. If you are running Linux, you can mount the shared Dicom CD folder on this remote workstation on:

/mnt/remoteWorkstation/cd

Then you can Import from PacsOne using the shared network path for the remote Dicom CD folder, using the Source Path of:

\\remoteWorkstation\cd for Windows

and

/mnt/remoteWorkstation/cd for Linux.

2. To add any Dicom viewer program to the Exported directory (with or without a ZIP file), you can simply copy this Dicom viewer program files to the VOL1, VOL2, etc. sub-folders under the top-level of the Export directory before you start a Export, and they will be included when each volume is exported.

Can these steps made more automatic in future releases?

For #1, it's not possible to automate since users must specify the source path to import the images.

For #2, we can add an option to include external viewer program files from a user-specified folder. If selected, PacsOne will copy all files in that folder and include them as part of the export.
