AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H
Indications For Use and Safety Concerns
AquariusNET is intended to be used for review and analysis of volumetric medical imaging
data acquired by CT or MR scanners. AquariusNET is part of a Class II medical device
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.
NOTE: US Federal Law restricts use of this device to trained
physicians, or other suitably qualified and trained personnel on the
order of a physician.
This AquariusNET is part of a sophisticated medical device, and as such MUST ONLY BE
USED BY QUALIFIED AND TRAINED PERSONNEL. If you require training, please contact
TeraRecon or a suitably qualified trainer. Please keep this documentation readily available
near AquariusNET at all times, and please keep it updated with all corrections/addenda that
may be released by TeraRecon from time to time.
Please also be aware that patient information is restricted, private, and extremely
confidential, and subject to stringent legal regulations - you should control access to the
AquariusNET or patient data contained therein accordingly.
Devices attached to this product must comply with their own applicable safety standards.
Precautions Relating to General Use
The AquariusNET software may allow images to be generated in which parts of the original
scan data are obscured, removed (including but not limited to, through use of lossy
compression), hidden, or modified. Similarly, output images and reports can be produced,
saved, and annotated, with elements of the original acquisition omitted, obscured, modified,
or hidden. Hence, careful and responsible use of the equipment and its output images
requires that the user be aware of, and effectively communicate these important facts to,
untrained or uninformed observers or recipients of the processed information. Please ensure
that all processing has completed (including completion of any final stage subsequent to an
intermediate stage of processing) before formulating a final interpretative decision.
In certain situations, processing takes a brief time, but please ensure that all processing of
whatever type has completed (including, for example, completion of any final stage
subsequent to an intermediate stage of processing) before seeking to validate, or validating,
a final interpretative decision.
Precautions Relating To Display Hardware
Please be aware that AquariusNET display is limited in acuity and color or grayscale depth to
that of the display device used. Display hardware characteristics can vary widely.
The judgment of the medical imaging professional is essential to reaching the appropriate
conclusion from the results presented by the AquariusNET .
Precautions Relating To Interpretation
Please be aware that calculations relating to distances, volumes, centerline creations and
other physical properties performed by AquariusNET are dependent in accuracy upon the
correct information being supplied in the input DICOM images. It is the responsibility of the
operator to ensure that inputted DICOM images are correctly formatted and to heed any
AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H
ii
warnings that the software may display during operation relating to potential problems with
the information supplied in those DICOM images.
Note further that, in certain instances, even though there may be problems or
inconsistencies in the DICOM information, the AquariusNET will be unable to detect this, and
erroneous image display will be unavoidable unless the user properly ensures the correctness
of all input data in advance. Potential problems relating to errors in the DICOM information
include incorrect dimensional readouts, incorrect orientation markings, and incorrect pixel
value calibration. Three-dimensional imaging inherently offers a wide variety of different
imaging views of any given dataset; it is an important responsibility of the operator to ensure
that a proper visualization is achieved, and that a complete review of the data has been
performed before reaching any diagnostic or interpretive conclusion relating to the dataset in
question. Limitations present in the original input data (such as those relating to spatial and/
or temporal resolution, pixel size, and slice thickness) remain valid even when AquariusNET
processes the data, and these provisos should be considered when using the equipment for
image review.
The image processing and display techniques offered by AquariusNET Thin Client are only
intended as an adjunct to, and not a substitute for, conventional diagnostic review of medical
imaging data. All results should be validated by qualified physicians trained in the
subject matter.
The Aquarius products provide tools and protocols to quantify metrics and distances relating
to structures in the CT, MR or other scans or images which are based upon the dimensions of
the anatomy scanned or imaged at the time the images were originally acquired from the
patient, and based on the measurement calibrations provided by the acquiring device. The
suitability for any particular purpose, especially monitoring the progression of disease, or the
sizing or planning of a device to be implanted in a patient, is dependent upon many factors,
including, but not limited to, the accuracy of the original acquisition, the extent to which the
images acquired still represent the patient's anatomy, and the way in which the actual device
deployment may modify the anatomy into which it is introduced. TeraRecon does not
represent that the Aquarius products are suitable for such purposes - all such activities
should always be cross-correlated with other techniques to ensure a complete understanding
of the patient and contemplated procedure is obtained by the validating physician(s) in
charge.
Precautions Relating To Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machines
Components or AquariusNET , including this document and its packaging or binding, may
contain metallic or Ferro-magnetic components. Please ensure that no such component is
introduced into the influence of magnetic fields from devices such as Magnetic Resonance
Imaging Scanners, since injury or damage to equipment or property could occur.
Precautions Relating To Risk Of Loss Of Data
AquariusNET is not intended to be used as a primary archive for medical imaging data. This
means that a secure copy of any data should be maintained in a location separate from the
software, for example, in the scanner, in a PACS archive, or on archive media. Please do not
rely on AquariusNET as your primary archive.
In addition, do not rely on AquariusNET to convey data from its acquisition point to your
primary archive, because in this configuration, a failure in AquariusNET could compromise
iii
AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H
your primary archive. Your primary archive should be maintained in a manner independent
of, and not relying on, AquariusNET.
Precautions Relating to Computer Software and Hardware:
NOTE THAT THE INSTALLATION AND USE OF ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE
COMPONENT WITHOUT THE SPECIFIC DIRECTION AND APPROVAL OF TERARECON, MAY
IMPAIR THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRODUCT. HENCE, NO ADDITIONAL
SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE COMPONENT SHOULD BE ADDED TO AquariusNET, NOR SHOULD
THE CONFIGURATION BE CHANGED IN ANY WAY, EXCEPT UNDER THE EXPRESS DIRECTION
OF TERARECON PERSONNEL. DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE IF IT IS DAMAGED,
COMPROMISED, OR IF YOU IN ANY WAY SUSPECT THAT ITS SAFETY MAY HAVE BEEN
COMPROMISED. IN THIS EVENT, CONTACT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE
IMMEDIATELY.

AquariusNET Web Admin Guide
Chapter 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction
AquariusNET Web is a component of the AquariusNET product from TeraRecon, Inc. It offers
secure access for system administrators and users to perform remote configuration and
management of the system.
Each AquariusNET user has an account on the system with a user name and password. All
accounts belong to one or more groups. Groups are used to assign rights to groups of users.
AquariusNET has three built-in groups:
•
AqNET_Public - This is a special group that makes studies assigned to it accessible to all
users.
•
Administrators - This is a system administrator group that comes with a reserved user
account named as “scan.”
•
Shared - This is a special group with a reserved user account named “shared”.
AquariusNET Web has two types of admin pages, administrator and user. The administrator
pages are available only to users belonging to the Administrators group. The user pages
are available to all other users.
From the AquariusNET administrator pages, administrators can manage user accounts,
control the flow of DICOM images to and from AquariusNET, manage the sending image job
queue, view log files, manage the server’s configurations; manage DICOM images on the
server, control AquariusNET server services, reboot the server machine, send or download a
server snapshot, view an audit trail and perform similar administrative functions.
From the AquariusNET user pages, regular users can view which studies on the system are
available to them, can modify series’ reading status, and define the default login group.
All users can view the server status from the AquariusNET Web login page. Users can
download the AquariusNET Thin Client viewer, Aquarius iNtuition (AQi) Client viewer, the
AquariusNET client DirectX control, the Conference client and the report templates.
AquariusNET Web provides secure access by requiring user authentication with a user name
and password. In addition, AquariusNET Web supports https connections.
NOTE: Preferred browsers are Internet Explorer 7.0 or 8.0, or Firefox
3.0 or later.
Accessing the Login Page
You can access the Web Login page by entering the following in the address bar of your
browser https://serverName, where “serverName” is the name or IP address of the
AquariusNET Server node you want to connect to.

templates include two files (address.xml, and logo.jpg). Templates are used by the AQi and
Thin Client viewers to create reports. Default versions of these files are installed with the
viewer, so you do not need to download them unless you want to produce customized
reports. In this case, the administrator must obtain customized versions of these files and
AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H

Chapter 1
install them on the server so users wishing to create customized reports can download them
to their local computers.
Note: This function may not be available for AquariusBLUE.
Downloading the AquariusNET Thin Client
You can run as many Thin Clients as your AquariusNET server can handle, so in a multi-user
environment, this application can be very useful.
Click the Download Thin Client button. A dialog is displayed asking you to confirm. If you
are ready to install the Thin Client right now, click Run and follow the install instructions.
Otherwise, click Save to save the installation program to your hard disk for later installation.
Downloading the AQi Client (Optional)
If you have purchased a license for the AQi Client, there should be a Download AQi Client
button on the Login screen. Click the Download AQi Client button. A Windows dialog is
displayed asking you to confirm. If you are ready to install the AQi Client right now, click Run
and follow the install instructions. Otherwise, click Save to save the installation program to
your hard disk for later installation.

Managing User Groups
A user group is a collection of users with the same access rights. A user can be a member of
more than one group. There are three default special groups AqNET_Public, shared and
administrators under the built-in domain AQNet and the organization AQNet.
•
Administrators is a system administrator group that has the right to access all studies
and can maintain the AquariusNET server through the AquariusNET Admin page.
•
Shared group is a regular user group that has the right to access all studies. All studies
assigned to “AqNET_Public” group will be available to all users. When you log into a nonadministrator group, you can do the following:
•
•
•
•
View all available images.
Change their reading status.
Change their passwords.

administrators. "AqNET_Public" is a special group and will not be
displayed in the user group table.
CAUTION: Deleting a user account will disable web access for that
user, and remove that user’s ability to connect to the AquariusNET
server through the ThinClient Viewer.
Tips on entering user information
A valid email address is a string that contains one or more characters before and after @ with
no spaces.
The new password must have at least six characters and contain a combination of alpha [a-z,
A-Z, _] and numeric [0-9] characters. It should not be the same as the old password, or the
username. The format of password expiring date is mm/dd/yyyy. 01/01/1900 is a special
date. A password will never expire if password expiring date is set to 01/01/1900 or the
checkbox Never is marked.
NOTE: Inactive regular user accounts may be disabled automatically
depending on the inactivity interval defined in the web server
configuration. Administrators can enable the inactive user’s account
by resetting user’s status to "Enabled".

AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H
Chapter 4
3. Select the domain name from the Domain pulldown menu and click the Search button.
The list of all domain user groups on the selected domain are displayed in the left window
below.
Note: If this list is very long, you can shorten it by typing a portion of
the name in the Group Name filter field, so that only group names
containing the string typed in will be displayed. Click the Search
button to display groups that match the filter.
4. From the list in the left window, select the names of groups to be imported, and click the
right-pointing double arrow button (
) located between the two windows. Alternatively
you can double-click the group name to move it to the right window.
5. When all the necessary user groups are listed in the right window, click the Import
button.
Managing Special Domains
Some domains may be configured or structured differently from the typical domain, and
imported domain user groups may not work as you expect them to. In that case, you can use
the domain user group mapping logic provided in the AqNET Web Admin. Users will need to
be mapped to groups through one or more domain group map filters.
These steps should be performed in the following order:
1. Create the domain.
2. Create user groups.
3. Create domain group map filters.
AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H

Chapter 4
4. Create domain group maps.
Creating a Domain
The instructions for creating a domain are as described in "Adding a Domain" on page 4-2.
However, it is also necessary to check the Apply Group Map Filter box before saving:
Creating Domain User Groups
You can create user groups that do not exist on the domain. You can also use imported user
groups. However, user memberships in the domain will not be recognized if Apply Group
Map Filter is checked.

those used to configure user groups. For a description of each right, see Table 1, “User
Group Rights,” on page 3-3.
5. In the input box labeled Auto Logout Time (minutes), enter the number of minutes
the client is allowed to be inactive before the user is automatically logged out.
6. Click Save when finished.
Creating a Map Filter
A map filter consists of a group of rules, each of which compares the value of an attribute in
the user profile to the value specified in the rule. The filter can have as many rules as
necessary. If each rule is satisfied, then the user has passed the filter. If any rule is not
satified, the user does not pass the filter.

(&(objectClass=person)(samaccountname=smith))
You can also change other parts of the template if appropriate for your domain
configuration.
c. Click the Apply button. A list of the search results are displayed on the screen just
below the Domain User Attribute browser. The list includes all of the available
attributes in this domain that are associated with the username.
d. Find the required attribute in the list, and enter it in the User Attribute text box,
located in the middle of the screen (see Figure 4.5 on page 4-8).

Chapter 5
Chapter 5: DICOM Node Management
The AquariusNET server must be connected to a DICOM device in order to receive data. This
is referenced from within AquariusNET by the local DICOM node (which may also be referred
to as an Application Entity or AE). AquariusNET must also be connected to an remote DICOM
node to communicate with other devices. This section explains how to set up the DICOM
nodes.
Note: it is also necessary to configure the scanner or other modality
where the data originates, so that the device has the correct network
information for the destination device.
Managing Remote Nodes
The AquariusNET server uses the DICOM protocol to communicate with external (or remote)
devices (including other AquariusNET servers) about imaging studies. AquariusNET requires
four pieces of information to identify a node: Title, Hostname, IP address, and Port Number.
While either a hostname or an IP address is normally sufficient to identify a physical machine
on a network, AquariusNET needs both. The hostname is preferable because it is easier to
remember, but it is not always available, or it might be mapped incorrectly. The combination
of the AE Title and port number must be unique in order to distinguish among multiple
DICOM-aware applications that may be running on the same physical machine.
AquariusNET can do the following with remote DICOM nodes:
•
•
•
•
Query and retrieve series from external nodes (C-FIND/C-MOVE SCU)
Forward series to external nodes (C-STORE SCU)
Service query and retrieve requests from external nodes (C-FIND/C-MOVE SCP)
Service storage requests from external nodes (C-STORE SCP)
To add, modify or delete an inbound remote DICOM node, click on the Manage DICOM
Nodes link from the navigation panel. The "DICOM Nodes" page will be displayed (see Figure
5.1).

fields are required.
Optionally, you can select an AE Type and add a description of the remote node.
c. If you are adding this node so that you can push data to it, do the following:
1. Check the box labeled Host <hostname> can push data to this node (for Cstore). (See Figure 5.2.) A list of available user groups is displayed below this
item. These restrict access to the ability to push data to users who are members
of certain user groups.
2. Check the box for the user group (or groups) that need to have this access.
d. Click on the Save button when done.

Managing Local Nodes
The local DICOM node of the AquariusNET server can be inbound or outbound.
Inbound local nodes are offered as a solution to the workflow problem that exists when a
large number of images are sent to a single server using DICOM, but are intended for review
by specific groups of users or for further auto routing. Inbound local nodes can be used as
one of the DICOM Tags to set up tag filter. Tag filters can be associated with user groups,
integrated into a routing pattern, or integrated into a pre-fetch pattern. A more full
description of these topics can be found at the following links:

The AquariusNET server has two reserved inbound local nodes:
•
•
AUTOVOX (this is a reserved name, and is not for general use)
<HOSTNAME>_AE
<HOSTNAME> is the AquariusNET server’s hostname in upper case. <HOSTNAME>_AE
may be truncated if its length is more than 16 characters. If no other inbound local nodes are
created, images can always be sent to the reserved inbound local node. This name is
displayed in the Title field of the default local inbound node in the "DICOM Nodes" page (see
": The DICOM Nodes page" on page 5-1).
The default outbound local node of AquariusNET server is: <hostname>-AQNET, where
<hostname> is the AquariusNET server’s hostname in lower case. <hostname>-AQNET
may be truncated if its length is more than 16 characters. This name is displayed in the Title
field of the default local outbound node in the "DICOM Node" page (see Figure 5.1 on page 51).
The Outbound local node of the AquariusNET server is used to query/retrieve from external
DICOM servers. This outbound local node is required to be set up as the remote node in an
external DICOM server, if the external DICOM server is willing to grant the query/retrieve
rights to the AquariusNET server.
To add, modify or delete an inbound local node, click on the Manage DICOM Nodes link
from the navigation panel. The "DICOM Nodes" page will be displayed (see Figure 5.1).
Adding a new local DICOM node

NOTE: If you delete a tag, tag filters rules that reference this tag may

Tag Filters
A tag filter is a set of rules used to apply processing selectively to some, but not all incoming
DICOM data. The filter divides the data into two bins - those that pass the filter, and those
that do not. Only the data that passes through the filter will be processed.
Tag filters are used in five AquariusNET features: auto series assignment, auto filming, auto
prefetch, auto routing, and advanced processing. To use tag filters with these functions, first
create tag filters from the "Tags" page, and then go to the relevant sub-sections under
Manage Workflow in the navigation panel.
A tag filter rule consists of a DICOM tag, a comparator, and a tag value. There are four
comparators: “is”, “is not”, “contains”, and “doesn’t contain”. The tag input value is case
insensitive. The Logical operator AND will be applied between any and all pairs of rules
within the filter.
The steps required for setting up tag filter include creating tag filters and associating filters
with user groups. Filtering is accomplished by comparing the values of certain DICOM tags in
the incoming data with expected values as specified in the tag filter.
Default Tag Filters
The AquariusNET Server provides a number of default tag filters related to Advanced
Processing. These can be used to send studies to different DICOM servers based on the body
part, modality, or Clinical Protocol.

Assigning a Primary User Group to User Groups
This feature allows you to associate two or more user groups together, so that they can share
some of the same privileges automatically. This association would allow members of all user
groups in the assignment to access the same data. One of the groups must first be
designated as the primary user group. This group can then be assigned to other groups.
Once this operation is completed, all user groups that the primary group is assigned to will
automatically receive the same data access privileges as the primary user group. This
assignment should be made according to the needs of your institution.
Note that initially, the two lists (Primary and User Groups) are identical.

Auto Pre-Fetch
Auto Pre-Fetch is a feature of AquariusNET that is used to locate and retrieve related prior
exams automatically. AquariusNET can be configured so that additional studies for the same
patient (based on Patient ID) are retrieved automatically after a study is received.
Prefetch rules govern under which conditions, from where, and how much data to retrieve.
Each rule is shown on the Prefetch Rule list as a single row. A rule has two main parts:
•
Tag Filter
The Tag Filter applies specific DICOM Tag-based criteria to the incoming data. Only data
that pass the tag filter will generate a prefetch request. You must define the tag filters
before you can use them here (see The Tag Filter Manager on page 8-3).
•
QR Source DICOM Node
The DICOM QR Source Node list specifies the DICOM servers that will be searched to
locate and retrieve the additional studies. You must add the DICOM nodes before you can
use them here (see "Configuring Remote DICOM Nodes" below).
Configuring Remote DICOM Nodes
The QR Source DICOM Node list specifies from which DICOM servers to attempt to locate and
retrieve the additional studies. These AEs are chosen from a list of AE's previously defined.
The Post filters dictate how much (and what kind) of data to retrieve. They can be used to
limit the modality, age and number of studies retrieved.
To configure a remote device for prefetch, do the following:
1. Open the "DICOM Nodes" page (see Managing Remote Nodes on page 5-1), and add or
edit the remote device.
2. Check the box labeled "Host <localhost> can query/retrieve data from this node (for CFind/C-Move)" (circled in Figure 8.10 below).

Reclaim disk space
When a Delete Selected Data is performed, that data’s entry in the main database table is
moved to the deleted database table. However, the data itself is not removed from the disk.
Reclaim disk space removes the data associated with all entries in the deleted data table,
and also removes those entries from the table. This is a permanent deletion.
To peform this deletion, click the Reclaim disk space button. This function does not require
any other action.
Anonymize Studies
DICOM images contain private identifying information such as a patient’s name, date of birth,
etc. Anyone who wishes to publicly transmit or make available a patient’s images for any
purpose must take the responsibility of removing the identifying information from the images
to protect the privacy of the patient.
To anonymize and distribute images, do the following:
1. Click the Manage Studies link in the Navigation panel. Select Anonymize from the
sub-menu list below it.
The "Study List" page will be displayed (see Figure 11.1 on page 11-1). The Anonymize
tab (see below) is active by default, because you selected Anonymize from the navigation
panel.
2. Select the study or series to be anonymized by clicking on it in the study or series list.
3. Enter the new Patient Name. If you do not enter anything in this field, a name will be
randomly generated.
4. If you want to enter a new Patient ID, check the New Patient ID checkbox. A field is then
displayed for you to type in a Patient ID of your choosing.
5. Check New Study/Series/SOP Instance UIDs if you want new UIDs to be generated.
6. Select the function to perform. There are three functions available for anonymized
studies:
•
Download to Local Disk - A final .cab (compressed archive) file will be created that
may contain multiple sub-cab files. Please wait for the “File download” dialog to
appear. It may take a few minutes for the server to create the .cab files, depending on
AQ-NET-ADM-EN-4.4H
11-8
Chapter 11
the number and size of data sets you selected. You might miss the chance to
download this .cab file if you send another request before this dialog is displayed.
•
Push back to Server AquariusNET - All anonymized data sets will be pushed back
to the server as new datasets.
•
Upload to Terarecon - The default ftp site is “Terarecon”. Other ftp sites can be
configured by unmarking the checkbox and entering ftp address, username, password
and port (see the following figure). A dialog will pop up to ask if it is required to send
a notification email. Please do so to inform the site of the presence of and purpose for
the uploaded images.
7. Click the Anonymize button. The server will start anonymizing the selected studies, and
a progress bar will be displayed.
A single .cab file for each series will be created for downloading and uploading. The name of
the cab file is the combination of the server name, the current time, and the modality of the
data set. To open a .cab file, double-click on it.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not select too many data sets in
each operation. The more data sets you select, the more resources
(CPU and disk space) will be needed from the server.
Assign Studies
The only studies you can view are those to which you have been granted access. You can
obtain access to a study in one of two ways:
•
Images are pushed to a local AE Title that has been associated, through a tag filter, with
one of the groups you belong to.
•

Auto Deletion
There are two ways to delete data set from the AquariusNET server:
•
Manual deletion (please refer to the section Deleting/locking series or through the
Thin Client Viewer).
•
Auto deletion as described here.
Auto Deletion will start automatically, based on task scheduler (AQNetAutoDeletion). It will
try to delete all aged data sets (except templates and locked series) on the server based on
the configuration parameters: Age in days (Receive Time and Access Time) and High
Watermark.
Age of the data set is determined by the difference between today’s date and the date when
the data set was received or accessed (via DICOM). For example, if the configuration
parameter age is set to 10 days, Auto Deletion will delete all data sets (except templates and
locked series) older than 10 days when it starts, if the high watermark option is unselected.
If the high watermark option is selected, aged data sets (except templates and locked series)
will be deleted only if free disk space on RAID devices is lower than high watermark.
Default AQNetAutoDeletion task scheduler will be created when the AquariusNET server is
installed for the first time. Upgrading the AquariusNET server will not overwrite the existing
task scheduler. The age value in the default AQNetAutoDeletion task scheduler is 0, which
means no data sets will be deleted from the server when Auto Deletion wakes up. Default
AQNetAutoDeletion task scheduler will wake up daily at 4 am with the high watermark option
unselected.
To manage the "Auto Deletion" page, do the following:
1. Click on the link Manage Server Configuration from the Admin page.
2. Click on the Auto Deletion link. The "Auto Deletion" page will be displayed with the
