Adding a DICOM Node To communicate with other DICOM-compatible modalities (MRI, CT, CR, Ultrasound, etc.), you have to add their properties (AE Title, IP, and Port) to each other's configuration.

DICOM requests from unregistered nodes will be rejected by the MeDiC PACS Server. Therefore, every modality that will interact with the MeDiC PACS Server must be added to the Nodes list.

Each DICOM compatible device has an interface for adding other DICOM Nodes to their allowed list. As an example, we gave the steps to configure Horos Viewer to work with PostDICOM MeDiC. These steps are given below.
