    DICOM Hands On
    Workshop (1 Day)
     
    This unique workshop supplements the OTech DICOM Seminar with practical experience in analyzing and debugging DICOM connections and messages. Participants bring their own portable PCs, connect them into a DICOM network, and use a variety of tools to analyze network transactions and DICOM messages. A DICOM validation tool developed exclusively for OTech is given to each participant to use during the workshop and to bring home for applications in a clinical environment.

    Course Feedback:  
    from Rick Erickson, Alaska Native Medical Center:

    "I enjoyed the class and it was very educational. I was able to come back and start troubleshooting problems right a way with OT-Dice and the other tools you show us. In your course material, I was able to identify a problem with inverted images (MONOCROME1 Vs MONOCROME2) in which it was haunting us for more then 4 months. We were able to call the software company and intelligently explain our problem. They are making a patch to the software and we will have it soon. Thanks"

    Prerequisites for the Hands-On Workshop:  
    The participant should have completed the OTech 2-day DICOM seminar or have equivalent training. The Workshop is usually scheduled as an add-on to the OTech 2-day seminars for convenience. Each participant should bring along a portable PC running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT with an Ethernet adaptor and TCP/IP running over Ethernet. An Ethernet hub and RJ-45 patch cables will be provided for use during the workshop. The OTech validation software will be available on CD or floppy disk.

    The OTech DICOM Hands-On workshop provides an excellent way to reinforce your DICOM knowledge with practical experience. The workshop content and handouts are designed such that a participant without a PC can follow along without difficulty. A limited amount of free e-mail support for the validation tool will be provided to each participant following the workshop.
