Use the QR Client page (Figure 15) in the DICOM Communication Panel dialog box to query a DICOM-compatible server, or device, and then retrieve files from the query results.
Note: Before you begin, make sure your hosts table has the name of the device you want to query or from which you want to receive images. Conversely, your computer's connection information should also be in the other device's hosts table. For more information on setting up a hosts table, see "internet protocol (IP) address: A numeric ID that is used to identify your computer on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network. An example of a TCP/IP network is the Internet.".
To pose queries
1 Click QR Client in the DICOM Communication Panel dialog box. The QR Client page appears (Figure 15).
2 Construct your query by completing the fields in the Patient Query Information and Query Duration panels. As you fill in the information, keep the following in mind:
You must specify at least one of the following: patient name, patient ID, study number, or physician.
If the exact name, ID, or study number is not known, you can use the asterisk as a wildcard character. For example, if you type ston in the patient name field, all names that match this pattern, such as Houston or Johnston, appear in the result.
3 Click Send Query.
The query result appears in the Query Result panel. To retrieve images, go to "To retrieve images".
To erase the query
To erase the query and start again, click Clear in the Patient Query Information panel.

To sort the query result list
Click Pat (patient), Pat ID (patient ID), or Referring Physician in the Query Result panel. The query result list is sorted in ascending order based on the column you chose. If you click the column title a second time, the list is resorted, this time in descending order, but again based on the title you chose.
To retrieve images
After you pose a query and receive the results, you can select the files that you want to retrieve from the list of query results.
1 Turn on the DICOM receiver if you have not already done so.
To turn on the receiver, click File > DICOM Receiver On/Off in the MIPAV window. A check mark appears next to the option.
2 Select the images you want to copy from the Query Result panel on the QR Client page.
3 Click Retrieve Image in the Patient Query Information panel to copy the images to the default storage destination indicated in the hosts table.
a Click Hosts to display the Hosts page
b View the storage destinations in the Storage Destination panel
c Click QR Client to return to the QR Client page
As the images are copied, status information appears in the Query Retrieval Information panel.
Note: If you have problems connecting to the device, you may want to test the connection. See Section "Testing the connection" for details.
