Keeping track of this highest IEN allows the imaging software to cause a "controlled shut-down" when such a situation occurs.
48last rad report pointerLAST RAD REPORT POINTER;1POINTER74The value of this field is a pointer to the Rad/Nuc Report File (#74). The pointed-to report is the one with the highest IEN that has been processed by a DICOM Gateway. This value is being tracked for patient-safety reasons. At a number of sites it has happened that procedural mistakes during normal maintenance caused part of the Rad/Nuc Report to "disappear". Keeping track of this highest IEN allows the imaging software to cause a "controlled shut-down" when such a situation occurs.

64pacs query era 1 startGE CONV ERA1;1DATE-TIMEThe value of this field is a timestamp (VA FileMan format, date only) that indicates the start of the time-period during which communication with the PACS was conducted using the ACR/NEMA protocol. When querying the PACS, the query process will issue its queries according to this protocol for all studies that were conducted between the start and end dates that are registered in this field (and the next). Note that protocol-eras are allowed to overlap. The result of registering overlapping protocol eras will be that the query process will issues its requests according to all protocols that could have been valid at the time.

When querying the PACS, the query process will issue its queries according to this protocol for all studies that were conducted between the start and end dates that are registered in this field (and the next). Note that protocol-eras are allowed to overlap. The result of registering overlapping protocol eras will be that the query process will issues its requests according to all protocols that could have been valid at the time. The PACS, on the other hand, will only respond to requests that correspond to the protocol that was actually active at the time.

Note that protocol-eras are allowed to overlap. The result of registering overlapping protocol eras will be that the query process will issues its requests according to all protocols that could have been valid at the time. The PACS, on the other hand, will only respond to requests that correspond to the protocol that was actually active at the time.
70pacs query upper limitGE CONV HI;1POINTER74The value of this field is a pointer to the Radiology Report Table (#74). This pointer identifies the highest internal entry number of a report that was scanned by the PACS Query Process.

77last uidLAST UID;1FREE TEXTThe value of this field is a string that meets the format of a Unique Object Identifier as specified in the DICOM Standard (maximum 64 characters, only digits and periods, leading characters are the root-numbers that are assigned by ANSI to the VA). The value of this field is the UID that was most recently assigned by the DICOM Gateway.
78background process accessM-to-M BROKER BGND ACCESS;1FREE TEXTThe value of this field is an (encrypted) string. This value will be used as an access code by the DICOM Gateway when a "modality" performs a Modality Worklist Query, in those special cases where the DICOM Gateway needs to query the VistA system about details about "old" Radiology studies. (Under normal circumstances, a DICOM Gateway will be able to respond to a Modality Worklist QUery using only information that is stored on the DICOM Gateway itself.)
79background process verifyM-to-M BROKER BGND VERIFY;1FREE TEXTThe value of this field is an (encrypted) string. This value will be used as a verify code by the DICOM Gateway when a "modality" performs a Modality Worklist Query, in those special cases where the DICOM Gateway needs to query the VistA system about details about "old" Radiology studies.

80m2m broker debugM2M DEBUG;1BOOLEAN1:Yes
0:No
The value of this field is a code that indicates whether or not the client for the MUMPS-to-MUMPS Broker should record any debugging information. Possible values are 1 (do record information) and 0 (do NOT record any information). When a DICOM Gateway is installed at a new site, the value of this field is "false", and this field can only receive a "true" value through a manual operation from "programmer mode". Since the information that is recorded when this switch is turned "on" is quite voluminous, this switch should only be used by support personnel to diagnose a problem, and turned off immediately after the problem is diagnosed.
81multiframe counterMULTIFRAME COUNTER;1NUMERICThe value of this field is an integer number that records the progress through the various frames of a multi-frame image as data for that image is being received. Under normal circumstances, the various "frames" are converted to individual images, and there is no need to know the number of frames processed to any process other than the one receiving the image data. However, if that process is interrupted (user interrupt, network outage, power failure), a subsequent process will need to know which sub-images have already been created when it starts processing the re-transmission of the image data.
82show patient identifiersSHOW PATIENT NAME & ID;1SET OF CODESYES:Yes
NO:No
The value of this field is a code that indicates whether or not an Image Gateway is to display patient identifying information while processing images. Possible values are "YES" and "NO". When a DICOM Gateway is located in a well-protected area, it is permissible to leave the value of this field equal to "YES". When a DICOM Gateway is located in a publicly accessible area, the value of this field may only be set to "YES" while an adequately privileged user is diagnosing a problem, and should be set to "NO" at all other times.
