Patent ID: 8156440

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a processor configured to generate a graphic user interface for a digital imaging and communications in medicine (“DICOM”) transfer configuration; a memory operably connected to the processor, the memory being configured to store configuration data relating to an origin node for a potential DICOM transfer; a display operably connected to the processor and the memory, the display being configured to display the graphic user interface for the DICOM transfer configuration, the graphic user interface comprising: a first image object corresponding to the origin node; a second image object corresponding to a destination node, the second image object including an indicator associated with a DICOM transfer; and at least one link image object between the first image object and the second image object, the at least one link image object indicative of the potential DICOM transfer between the origin node and the destination node, wherein the first image object, the second image object, and the at least one link image object are displayed in a user interface, the potential DICOM transfer operable to be configured via the user interface, wherein the processor is configured to change an appearance of the at least one link image object between the first image object and the second image object when an error in transfer occurs after the potential DICOM transfer is initiated, wherein the at least one link image connects the first image object and the second image object, and wherein the at least one link image object is operable to be selected in order to modify a transfer syntax of the DICOM transfer between the first image object and the second image object.
