• A DICOM-structured report needs to be sent to a system that only understands HL7 and also send a fax to the referrer. gateway4med converts the DICOM data into HL7 according to the appropriate configuration, and generates and sends a fax. At the same time, the transmission is documented and can be resent if necessary.
• A requesting system sends orders that need to arrive in both an information system for radiology and also for orthopaedics. gateway4med splits up the orders and expedites the appropriate request to the respective system.
• System 1 sends one single request code to system 2, which is to be used to order an entire series of examinations. However, system 2 does not yet support this type of communication. gateway4med adjusts the request message accordingly so that system 1 can continue to request only one service, while system 2 orders several examinations.
