Updated over 2 months ago

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:

  1. On the computer with Progeny Imaging installed, open the Progeny Imaging Configuration Utility

  2. Select the P.A.C.S. option from the menu on the left

  3. 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)

  4. 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

For help identifying modality codes, refer to this resource: DICOM Modality Definitions
