PACS configuration - for PACS Manufacturers

Command-line for PACS to directly open PeekMed

Last updated on Apr 13 2022

PACS manufacturers may program their system to directly connect with PeekMed. To do so, a command line is available to grant a direct connection between PACS and PeekMed, available to be added in any PACS. The steps for this connection are the following:

• Open a PACS and create an access point (for example, a button or a shortcut) to directly access PeekMed;
• Launch the command prompt (command-line interface) and type the following command:
  • Type the path of the executable file + space + quotation mark + path of the folder with DICOM images + quotation mark
    (Example: C:\Program Files\PeekMed\bin\PeekMed.exe“C:\Images\DICOM”);

• Terminate the command by pressing the Enter or Return key;
• Through this command and response interaction, the access point is then able to directly connect to PeekMed.

This mechanism only works with DICOM images from a specific folder, which is passed to the executable file as an argument in the command line. To be able to use this mechanism, a valid login is still needed.
