  • Patent number: 8418001
    Abstract: A system and method provide system monitoring and detailed troubleshooting workflow guidance. Individual system components may be monitored and faulty system components identified. Subsequently, component-related, context-related, and/or user-specific troubleshooting workflow guidance associated with the faulty system component identified may be retrieved and/or determined by a processor and presented. The component-related guidance may be based upon which system component is faulty. The context-related guidance may be based upon the type of error with the faulty system component. The user-specific guidance may be based upon information specific to the user, such as user specifications, preferences, and configurations. The troubleshooting guidance may provide virtual guidance related to the workflow steps to be performed to identify the error with the faulty component and then correct the error identified.

  • Patent number: 8156440
    Abstract: A graphic user interface as well as related methods and logic for a DICOM transfer configuration are provided. For example, a first image object corresponding to an origin node is provided. A second image object corresponding to a destination node is provided. The second image object includes an indicator associated with a DICOM transfer. At least one link image object is between the first image object and the second image object. The link image object is indicative of a potential DICOM transfer. The first, second, and link image objects are displayed in a user interface. The potential DICOM transfer is operable to be configured via the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20090125541
    Abstract: A system and method for obtaining and/or providing a DICOM transfer configuration are provided. A database is queried for a first template. The database is configured to store a plurality of templates associated with a respective plurality of nodes. The first template having configuration content of a first node is received as a function of the query. A user interface is populated as a function of the first template. The user interface is used for configuring a DICOM transfer.
