+ | Users may select a standard block from the list, causing the original patient contour to be displayed along with the standard block shape, allowing users to make a visual assessment of the quality of fit for each standard block. If saved, the selected standard block shape will be stored to the beam and then be used for ordering and DICOM export of that beam/block. Ordering a standard block will automatically add it to the user's purchase history as well. | ||

This is intentional as changes to the beam parameters may cause the selected standard block to become inappropriate for treatment. If edits are needed, the user should make the edits, then re-compute and re-select the desired standard block. | ||

+ | <WRAP center round important 60%> | ||
+ | **Notes: | ||
+ | - Prior to setting up this option, ensure with your IT team that the iPad has been granted network access to this DICOM server. | ||
+ | - When prompted by the iPad, please ensure to select the option to allow decimal3D to find and connect to devices on your local network. | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Setting up a DICOM export server allows users to export an RT Plan with the design device. The following options are present in the DICOM Export Server settings: | ||
+ | * **DICOM Receiver Hostname**: The IP address (e.g.: 192.168.12.7) or resolvable network hostname (e.g.: the server name) of the DICOM server intended to export to. | ||
+ | * **DICOM Receiver Port**: The TCP/IP port of the DICOM monitoring/ | ||
+ | * **DICOM Receiver ECHO Test**: This option allows the user to test the entered IP/Hostname and Port of the DICOM receiver to ensure decimal3D can connect to it. If this test is successful you will be able to export DICOM files from decimal3D. If this test fails, please refer to the Troubleshooting section below. | ||
+ | * **DICOM Applicator Export Format**: This option specifies the format for the applicator size set in decimal3D when exporting an RT PLAN. Some treatment planning systems expect very specific values. The options include: | ||
+ | * Numeric: If you select a 10cm applicator this will export the applicator as ' | ||
+ | * ARIA: If you select a 10cm applicator this will export the applicator as ' | ||
+ | * None: This will omit the applicator from the DICOM RT Plan during export. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Below are the steps required to setup a DICOM Export Server: | ||
+ | - Obtain the IP Address and Port used for existing DICOM Receiver. | ||
+ | - | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Note: the electron block present in the exported DICOM RT Plan file will not include any millability features (e.g.: the rounding of sharp corners to facilitate in fabrication) that decimal3D applied to your devices.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Troubleshooting DICOM Export Servers === | ||
+ | |||
+ | If your DICOM Export ECHO Test fails, it may be due to the following reasons. Note: .decimal may not be able to assist with most of these issues, as it is dependent on your IT network security policies. | ||
+ | ^ Issue ^ Description ^ | ||
+ | | Incorrect IP/Hostname or Port | Please ensure that you have the correct IP address and/or Port set within decimal3D for your current DICOM receiver. | | ||
+ | | IT Network Firewall/ | ||
+ | | Different WiFi | Some hospitals set up their iPad on a WiFi network (e.g.: a guest WiFi network) that is siloed off and does not permit access to the DICOM server. Please contact your IT team to ensure the iPad is on the same network as your DICOM server and that the iPad is allowed to transmit data to the DICOM server/ | ||
+ | | Local Network Access | Ensure the decimal3D application has been granted network access on the iPad: Open the Settings app, scroll down and select the decimal3D application. Ensure the setting 'Local Network' | ||
+ | | DICOM Receiver Settings | DICOM receivers must be properly configured to accept files from 3rd party sources. Either set the receiver to ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Download Activity Logs ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option allows the user to download the application usage logs (patient open, export, etc) to the local iPad file system. From there it can be emailed or saved out for your records or inspection. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== MRN to PO Field ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option allows the user to set whether they want to include the patient MRN in the order file's PO field that is set to .decimal. This option allows some centers to easily link an order placed to .decimal to the patient record based on the patient' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note: The MRN is considered by some hospital' | ||
