US2.AI DICOM Router Installation

US2.AI On Premises Installation

Introduction

The US2.AI DICOM router is a software application used to securely route DICOM images from multiple echo machines or PACS systems, to the US2.AI cloud server. It can also be used to return DICOM & HL7 messages from the US2.AI cloud application to a local PACS and/or EMR.

The router can handle both outbound (DICOM images and DICOM SR) and secure inbound messaging (DICOM Secondary Captures, DICOM Structured Reports, DICOM Encapsulated PDF, DICOM Presentation States, HL7).

The router provides anonymization and encryption services prior to upload, acting as a single point of exit, allowing multiple echo scanners or PACS servers to securely communicate data bi-directionally with the US2.AI cloud, which is hosted in AWS.

The US2.AI DICOM router removes the need for a VPN while offering benefits such as monitoring, logging and flexible configurations to fit customer workflows.

Requirements

The DICOM router can be installed on a workstation or server on the users network, and must be reachable by all echo machines and PACS servers that will send or receive data.

Minimum specification:

• 4GB RAM, 1 Core CPU.
• Windows 10 or higher (for Linux distributions please contact your US2.AI representative with your request)
• Static IP address
• Internet facing with open ports:
  • inbound 11112 (or 11113 if TLS is used on the local network)
  • outbound 443
  • plus any ports used to send to onsite PACS/EMR (defined by the PACS manager)
• Remote access by US2.AI staff is required for specialized configurations, which can be supervised access only
