minutes with little effort

Medicine
CR: Computed Radiography; uses an xray plate that is
reusable
DR: Digital Radiography; uses a plate that is directly
connected to a server (either wired or wireless)
Most images are taken either CR/DR but they are all
DICOM. All DICOM images can be printed to look like
regular film xrays
Some offices still use the old xray hard xrays

Setting up a Relay
 Notice each surgeon has there own AE Title and AE
Port regardless of how many Reps.
The IP Address, AE Title and AE
Port are what is needed when
setting up a “Push” from an office
or hospital PACS. This is why it is
important to change the AE title
to the surgeon name
Drag and Drop
 Notice the folders that are created for each surgeon when they are
added to Relay. This is where you drag and drop your DICOM images to
be sent to Joints.
 The folders will go away when Relay is closed. All files that are dragged
into these folders will disappear once they are sent to Joints.
Tips
 Preferences: Set knee magnification to 115% and hips
to 120%
 Select “compressed” on Joints main screen. This lets
the images download faster.
 If you are going to export a DICOM image, ensure you
create a duplicate study so the images are burned on
the xray
