Imaging and Communications in Medicine). The DICOM format assures that each image contains patient identification and acquisition information.
Progeny Imaging works with the following image acquisition modules and devices:
•
Progeny MPSe and VisionDX digital X-Ray image sensor systems
•
Progeny VisionDX USB digital X-Ray image sensor systems
•
TWAIN-compliant
•
Progeny Vivid USB Video Camera

•
•
•
3rd Party Applications, such as practice management software
Progeny Imaging Components
Progeny Imaging consists of two main components: a graphical user interface and a database. The database stores image acquisition module configurations, user information, patient information, and patient images. Patient and user information is stored in an MS SQL Server database, while patient images are stored in computer files.
8
Progeny Imaging User's Guide Getting Started
Progeny Imaging is installed on every computer where you want to use it. The database component of Progeny Imaging is installed by default on the same computer that runs the Progeny Imaging graphical user interface. You can instead choose to locate the database on another computer on the same dental office network and configure other computers on the network to use this database.
Image Acquisition Modules
Progeny Imaging works with Progeny MPSe, VisionDX, and VisionDX USB digital X-
Ray image acquisition modules and sensors as well as with the Progeny Vivid USB
Video Camera.
Options for installing MPSe and VisionDX modules and sensors are:
•
Install a module directly to a computer with Progeny Imaging for use only from that computer
•
Install a module directly to a hub in the dental office network and enable other computers with Progeny Imaging on the network to use the module
You must install the VisionDX USB and the Progeny Vivid USB Video Camera directly to a computer. They can be used only from the computer to which they are installed.
Standalone Configuration
In a standalone configuration, Progeny Imaging is installed on a computer that is not connected to any other computers. The patient database is located on the computer.
Imaging modules are connected directly to the computer. No other computers use the database or modules that are installed on this computer.
Networked Configuration
In a networked configuration, computers are connected to a Peer-to-Peer (P2P)
Windows network or a Windows network that is managed by a domain server.
Progeny Imaging is installed on each computer and on the dental office server.
Computers A, B, and C use the Progeny Imaging database on the dental office server.
Computer A only uses the VisionDX and VisionDX USB modules connected directly to
9
Progeny Imaging User's Guide Getting Started it. Computers A, B, and C all use the image acquisition module connected to the network hub.
Bridge to Third-party Applications
PIBridge is an additional software application from Progeny Dental that enables you to integrate Progeny Imaging with 3rd-party applications, such as practice management software. With PIBridge, you can add Progeny Imaging's image acquisition and analysis capability seamlessly to your practice management software. After accessing a patient's records in your practice management application, you use PIBridge commands to "call"
Progeny Imaging. At your command, Progeny Imaging opens for you to acquire images and create studies.
For information on PIBridge and integrating a 3rd party application with Progeny
Imaging, contact Progeny Technical Support. For more information, see Progeny

DICOM Conformance Statement
Progeny Imaging
1. DICOM CONFORMANCE STATEMENT OVERVIEW
The Progeny Imaging software application is designed to facilitate the acquisition, analysis and organization of digital images and documents from a variety of other sources. Progeny Imaging supports multiple sensor systems for the acquisition of digital radiograph images. It also supports images of many types from a variety of sources and other input devices. Images are stored in an open architecture and related to a patient. A large number of diagnosis specific image processing functions are provided.
The application can be run standalone or integrated in a multi-user network environment to support typical dental clinics or scaled up to support larger dental organizations (e.g., Dental School).
Progeny Imaging has its own patient database. Progeny Imaging can also be integrated with a thirdparty Patient Management Software system (which controls the patient related billing and scheduling information).
This conformance statement represents the functionality of Progeny Imaging with respect to its communication with other DICOM compliant components and systems. The document is formatted according to DICOM PS 3.2-2004
PS 3.2 (Part 2) of the DICOM Standard: http://medical.nema.org/dicom/2004/04_02PU.PDF

2.2 Audience
Conformance of Progeny Imaging to the DICOM 3.0 Standard is discussed in this document. It specifies the Service Classes, Information Objects, and Communication Protocols supported by the implementation. This statement is intended to provide information about the functionality of Progeny
Imaging in a clinical environment and aid the system integrator in designing the software and hardware infrastructure connecting Progeny Imaging to other components which make use of the
DICOM 3.0 Standard for inter-network communication. The reader of this document should be familiar with the DICOM 3.0 Standard, the components being interconnected, and other references listed in Section 0.3 of this document.
2.3 Important Considerations for the Reader
There is no concept in DICOM of a singular “monolithic” compliance with the Standard. The
DICOM Conformance Statement, is a document whose organization and content are mandated by the
Standard (PS 3.2-2004) and which allows users to communicate how they comply with the Standard in their implementations. The presence of specific DICOM functionality in a Conformance Statement is not sufficient to guarantee inter-operability between components. When evaluating network interoperability between the Progeny Imaging and some other DICOM component, the following should be considered:
The Progeny Imaging Conformance Claim is an appropriate starting point for ascertaining whether the Progeny Imaging software can communicate with a particular component on a protocol level.
The only way to know for certain whether Progeny Imaging can inter-operate with other DICOM components is to perform a connectivity test. This test must be completed before a field installation can occur. The developers or distributors of Progeny Imaging OEM normally do such testing in cooperation with the suppliers of other DICOM components.
The Progeny Imaging Conformance Claim represents a best effort at documenting the DICOM functionality of the software, but is not a functional specification of any image processing procedure.
Oral Diagnostic Systems reserves the right to make changes at any time to the functionality of components described herein. Both Oral Diagnostic Systems and its regional distributors are

Progeny Imaging committed to following the evolution of the DICOM Standard with either modifications or additions to the DICOM functionality provided by the software.

Unique Identifier
(UID)
A DICOM term which is identical to an Abstract Syntax; it identifies a set of SOPs which, when taken together, represent a logical grouping (see
Meta SOP Class)
A DICOM term for a logical grouping of Service Classes which all involve storage of images
A unique identifier for an element of information composed of an ordered pair of numbers (a Group Number followed by an Element Number), which is used to identify Attributes and corresponding Data Elements
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
A part of the DICOM Presentation Context which specifies a set of encoding rules that allow Application Entities to unambiguously negotiate the encoding techniques (e.g., Data Element structure, byte ordering, compression) they are able to support, thereby allowing these Application
Entities to communicate.
A globally unique identifier (based on the structure defined by ISO 8824 for OSI Object Identifiers) which is assigned to every DICOM information object as specified by the DICOM Standard (see Section
