Figure B.5.1-1. Application Data Flow Diagram for Media Storage
The Offline-Media Application Entity exports images and Presentation States to a CD-R Storage medium. It is associated with the local real-world activity "Export to CD-R". "Export to CD-R" is performed upon user request for selected patients, studies, series or instances (images or presentation states).
B.5.1.2 Functional Definition of AEs
B.5.1.2.1 Functional Definition of Offline-Media Application Entity
Activation of the "Export to CD-R" icon or menu entry will pass the currently selected patients, studies, series or instances (images or presentation states) to the Offline-Media Application Entity. The SOP Instances associated with the selection will be collected into one or more export jobs. The contents of each export job will be written to a single CD-R media.
B.5.1.3 Sequencing of Real-World Activities
At least one image or presentation state must exist and be selected before the Offline-Media Application Entity can be invoked. The operator can insert a new CD-R media at any time before or after invocation of the Offline-Media Application Entity. The Offline-Media
- Standard -

Application Entity will wait indefinitely for a media to be inserted before starting to write to the CD-R device. If no CD-R media is available the export job can be canceled from the job queue.
B.5.1.4 File Meta Information Options
The implementation information written to the File Meta Header in each file is:

B.5.2 AE Specifications
B.5.2.1 Offline-Media Application Entity Specification
The Offline-Media Application Entity provides standard conformance to the Media Storage Service Class. The Application Profiles and roles are listed below:

B.5.2.1.1 File Meta Information for the Application Entity
The Source Application Entity Title included in the File Meta Header is configurable (see Section B.5.4).
B.5.2.1.2 Real-World Activities
B.5.2.1.2.1 Activity - Export to CD-R
The Offline-Media Application Entity acts as an FSC when requested to export SOP Instances from the local database to a CD-R medium.
A dialogue will be presented allowing the user to modify the suggested media label and provides control over the available media capacity. If the contents of the current selection do not fit on a single media an automatic separation into multiple export jobs will be suggested that can be adapted by the user.
The user will be prompted to insert an empty CD-R for each export job. The contents of the export job will be written together with a corresponding DICOMDIR to a single-session CDR. Writing in multi-session mode is not supported. The user can cancel an export job in the job queue.
B.5.2.1.2.1.1 Media Storage Application Profiles
The Offline-Media Application Entity support the STD-GEN-CD Application Profile.
B.5.2.1.2.1.1.1 Options
The Offline-Media Application Entity supports the SOP Classes and Transfer Syntaxes listed in the Table below:

B.5.3 Augmented and Private Application Profiles
EXAMPLE-INTEGRATED-MODALITY does not support any augmented for private application profiles.
B.5.4 Media Configuration
All local applications use the AE Titles configured via the Service/Installation Tool. The Application Entity Titles configurable for Media Services are listed in the Table below:

B.6 Support of Character Sets
All EXAMPLE-INTEGRATED-MODALITY DICOM applications support the
ISO_IR 100 (ISO 8859-1:1987 Latin Alphabet No. 1 supplementary set)
ISO_IR 144 (ISO 8859-5:1988 Latin/Cyrillic Alphabet supplementary set)
If the EXAMPLE-INTEGRATED-MODALITY is configured for Cyrillic character set support, ISO_IR 144 will be used automatically.
B.7 Security
EXAMPLE-INTEGRATED-MODALITY does not support any specific security measures.
ItisassumedthatEXAMPLE-INTEGRATED-MODALITYisusedwithinasecuredenvironment.Itisassumedthatasecuredenvironment includes at a minimum:
a.Firewall or router protections to ensure that only approved external hosts have network access to EXAMPLEINTEGRATED- MODALITY.
b.Firewall or router protections to ensure that EXAMPLEINTEGRATED-MODALITY only has network access to approved external hosts and services.
c.Any communication with external hosts and services outside the locally secured environment use appropriate secure network channels (e.g., such as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) )
Other network security procedures such as automated intrusion detection may be appropriate in some environments. Additional se- curity features may be established by the local security policy and are beyond the scope of this conformance statement.

Table B.8.1-1 specifies the attributes of an X-Ray Radiofluoroscopic Image transmitted by the EXAMPLE-INTEGRATED-MODALITY storage application.
Table B.8.1-2 specifies the attributes of a Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State transmitted by the EXAMPLEINTEGRATED-MOD- ALITY storage application.
The following tables use a number of abbreviations. The abbreviations used in the "Presence of …" column are:
VNAP Value Not Always Present (attribute sent zero length if no value is present)
ANAP Attribute Not Always Present
ALWAYSAlways Present
EMPTYAttribute is sent without a value
The abbreviations used in the "Source" column:
MWL the attribute value source Modality Worklist
USER the attribute value source is from User input
AUTO the attribute value is generated automatically
MPPS the attribute value is the same as that use for Modality Performed Procedure Step
CONFIGthe attribute value source is a configurable parameter
Note
All dates and times are encoded in the local configured calendar and time. Date, Time and Time zone are configured using the Service/Installation Tool.
