Introduction
This section describes communication and connection options between the Vivid 7 ultrasound scanner
and other devices in the hospital information system.
The following cases are covered:
•
A stand-alone Vivid 7.
•
A Vivid 7 and one or several EchoPAC PC workstations in a “Sneaker Net” environment.
“Sneaker Net” means that you use an MO Disk to move data because no network is available.
•
A Vivid 7 and an EchoPAC PC workstations in a direct connect environment.
•
A Vivid 7 and a DICOM server in a network.

The Dataflow Concept
Communication between the Vivid 7 ultrasound unit and other information providers on the network
takes the form of dataflows. Each dataflow defines the transfer of patient information from either an input
source to the unit, or from the unit to an output source (see examples in
Patient information can include demographic data and images, as well as reports and Measurement and
Analysis (M&A) data.
A dataflow is a set of pre-configured services. Selecting a dataflow will automatically customize the
ultrasound unit to work according to the services associated with this dataflow.
By utilizing dataflows, the user can configure the Vivid 7 ultrasound unit to optimally meet the needs of
the facility, while keeping the user interface unchanged. Once the dataflow is selected, the actual
location of the database is entirely transparent.
