General Instructions for Configuration of your DICOM Client Software:

You should configure your software to 'listen' on port 4006 or 11112, which are assigned ports for DICOM communications.

The ACVR's server must be added as a remote device in your DICOM software using the following information:

• Address: pacs.acvr.org
• AE Title: ACVR
• Port: 4006
• Description: ACVR Server (doesn't really matter).

You will need to open a TCP port in your router's firewall and/or your PC's firewall corresponding to the port you used in your preferences above (i.e 4006 or 11112).

If you are using a router (which is likely if you have a DSL, Fios, or cable modem for internet service), you will need to configure the router to pass traffic on your listening port (4006 or 11112) to the computer on which you are running your DICOM software. Every router is different; your ISP should be able to help you make this configuration change on your system.

If you can't retrieve files directly, you can always download them from the ACVR's website at the CT/MRI Society's Case of the Month page.
