Importing DICOM Images into OsiriX from Local Media The AE Title, port, and hostname (IP address) of OsiriX need to entered into the remote device of PACS. However, if you want to retrieve studies, the remote devices needs to be set up to send to OsiriX.

The query field has a pull down menu with more options. Type the name or part of a name in the search field and hit the return key. Select the location and verify the connection if you want to. To query, first go to the preferences and under Locations add the AE Title, port, and hostname ( IP address) of the remote location. Queries can be performed even if the other device is not configured to send to OsiriX. OsiriX can query other DICOM devices such as workstations, CTs, MRIs, etc. Using OsiriX as a Query-Retrieve PACS Workstation Īs of version 1.7.1 OsiriX cannot be queried by another workstation. If your OsiriX workstation is configured for multiple OsiriX users who log in via the fast user switch, then each user must have a separate AE title and port number. “Preferences” window to configure the “DICOM Listener” Don't forget to leave OsiriX running - the DICOM Listener works only if OsiriX is active! Then, contact your “friendly” PACS manager to configure the PACS. OsiriX and the PACS workstation must be first configured: Assign an AETitle and a Port number to OsiriX in the “Preferences” window.

In this configuration, DICOM images are sent from a PACS workstation to a Mac computer running OsiriX, which passively receives the images. If you are working in a PACS environment, the easiest way to import DICOM images into OsiriX is to configure OsiriX as a “DICOM Listener”. Using OsiriX as a Passive DICOM Listener Images can either be pushed from the PACS using a DICOM "store" function, or they can be "pulled" by the DICOM query-retrieve function of OsiriX.
