![]() ![]() RadiAnt is installed on a PC where I have an iQ-VIEW workstation that I use as a temporary archive and reviewing station for new cases. I have a permanent PACS which is on a server in my network I didn't find another USB key to test but I seems I've found where's the bottleneck. I wonder if the temp files could be created in the SSD disk instaed of the USB key if these freeze/import issues could be resolved, this USB-portable database method would be an outstanding new feature. However, an optimization about a direct USB import of images should be considered. ![]() So in the current situation a direct USB based database is not technically functional.īetter to use the file sync indirect method I described. like freeze, incomplete import of some images etc. That way it would be just a question of file copy from SSD to USB and all the fuzz about temp files would be avoidedĪccording to my tests any time I tried importing a DICOM case into the USB key, something went wrong. Having a portable USB-based RadiAnt database would be a bless for moving cases from work to home and viceversa.Īnyone else tried to do this trick with USB? is very easy to create a new database so I'd appreciate other users feedback about itĪs temporary workaround I will do this trick.ġ- I'll create a classic dabatase on the SSD disk and load it with cases imported from the PACSĢ- then I'll create ad empty database on the USB diskģ- using a file synchronization software such as PathSync I'll mirror the content of the SSD database in the USB disk Maybe only the developer may tell me if my theory is right or wrong and if there's some workaround. There are no issue if the database is in the hard-disk but being on a USB stick probably disclose some performance issues. ![]() Probably during database import of a DICOM case, there's additional work needed to copy files and index them in the database at the same time while working on a USB stick (even if it's a 3.0) It seems that there's some bottleneck elsewhere. However in the limited tests I made it seems there's no relavant difference between the 2 USB policies option status. So I made some research in the web and it seems that turning "better performance" on should have a positive effect in speeding up file transfer I wonder if it's possible to optimize the transfer, maybe limiting the average speed of transfer to allow the computer to keep the pace and complete a 100% copy of the images.īasically I experienced the issue even when the "better performance" option was off by default. I came up with the theory that even if it's a 3.0 USB key, to number of files that are imported in a limited time causes a kind of overflow and freeze. I tried alto to "enable write caching on the device" but it was not supported by that thumbdrive.Īny idea how to improve the consistency and reliability of DICOM import into an USB-based thumbdrive database? The USB thumbdrive is brand new and has a exFAT formatting (some computer geeks told me that is the best formatting in terms of copy-transfer) and I've already set "better performance" in the "policies" tab menu of the Windows 10 disk management. I confirm the USB is a 3.0 version and that was correctly plugged into a proper 3.0 port. I wonder if anyone else experienced this issues as well. in some sequences not all the images were imported) In both cases I frequently experienced freezing of RadiAnt during the transfer and incomplete importing of some images (i.e. I tried importing DICOM cases either manually or using DICOM node transmission. The rationale is to have a portable database of DICOM cases that I can review both in my work PC and in my home laptop. Hello, I tried to set a RadiAnt DICOM database in a USB 3.0 thumbdrive. ![]()
