Configuring Progeny Dental Systems with IDEXX Web PACS
When integrating a Progeny dental X-ray system with IDEXX Web PACS and Shepherd, you'll need to properly configure the Progeny Imaging PACS settings:
On the computer with Progeny Imaging installed, open the Progeny Imaging Configuration Utility
Select the P.A.C.S. option from the menu on the left
Configure the following settings:
Set P.A.C.S. Publishing to ON
Local AETitle: Enter a unique name for your Progeny system (e.g., "PROGENYIMAGING")
AETitle: Enter "DCM4CHEE_MAIN" (the IDEXX Web PACS server AE Title)
IP Address/Hostname: Enter "54.208.114.60" (IDEXX Web PACS server address)
Port Number: Enter "11112" (IDEXX Web PACS server port)
Click Apply to save these settings
Important Notes for Progeny Systems:
The modality type for dental X-rays should be set as "IO" in the IDEXX Web PACS configuration
Ensure the "Local AETitle" configured in Progeny matches exactly what's registered in IDEXX Web PACS as your modality's AE Title
Progeny Imaging only supports sending images to PACS servers; it cannot receive return communications
