====== .decimal Dicom Receiver ======

A Windows computer must be used to run the AE Title programs. Our current configuration uses a standard Windows 7 Professional PC that automatically logs in with a default user upon startup and the DICOM receiver is included in the computer startup folder. Any setup that ensures the receiver is always running should be sufficient however.
