Installation of Spinalogic Drawing can be done on a single machine. You can add additional workstations after the initial install to connect to the first PC so you can view your x-rays from anywhere in the office.
Installation will differ depending on whether you have your own digital x-ray or not.
Your own Digital X-Ray
- Install the server/workstation first. The system you install on will need to meet the server hardware requirements. We will call the machine the server but you can also view x-rays on it if you want.
- Set the server to have a static IP address.
- Enter the server static IP into your digital x-ray system so it will send x-rays to that machine. Use port 104 and any AET you like. You may need help from your x-ray system supplier to do this but it’s a 5 minute task for someone who knows what they are doing.
- Download and install Spinalogic on the server (you get the link for this when you buy)
- If you want to install further Workstations on other PCs in your office, it’s easy – directions are here (you’ll need to have installed Spinalogic on your server to access this link)
Third-Party X-Rays Taken Off-Site
If you have your x-rays taken off-site, the x-ray service will supply you with digital x-rays on a CD-ROM. You can read the x-rays off this CD directly into Spinalogic, and return the disk directly to the patient. In this scenario, you’ll probably want a workstation set up at your front desk so your CA can do this.
