1Overview
The Modality Performed Procedure Step (PPS) function is an automated function that allows the
Senographe DS acquisition system to automatically inform a remote network host (typically located on
the Radiology Information System (RIS) or the Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS))
of the Radiology department about the completion status of the locally performed examinations. Typi-
cally, it enables the Senographe DS to automatically inform the other connected devices such as the
PACS, the RIS and the Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system (if available) whether a given sched-
uled or unscheduled exam is in progress, completed or on hold.
The activation of this function within a Radiology Department is subject to the following pre-requisites:
• An image archiving system (PACS) must be accessible for Auto Push of the acquired images via the
DICOM protocol,
• A DICOM Performed Procedure Step Service Class Provider (PPS SCP) must be connected to the
Senographe DS. In general, such a DICOM service is available from either the RIS or the PACS.
• It is strongly recommended that the Senographe DS also be connected to a DICOM worklist man-
agement SCP for automated worklist retrieval. For additional information on the worklist function on
the Senographe DS, please refer to Chapter 9 Worklist.
