Xtream Display Japanese Character Setting

Prerequisites

Overview

The Xtream Display can display a patient name in Japanese if patient data is sent in desired format from RIS server. This procedure describes how to use that functionality.

Limitations:

  • Only supports patient names from the RIS.

  • Only supports the double-byte character (ISO 2022 IR 87). Half-width character such as ISO 2022 IR 13 is not supported.

  • Japanese characters are not displayed on console.

  • Japanese characters are not stored in image data. Only English characters will be stored in image data as ISO_IR 100.

1 Patient Data Requirements to RIS Server

The RIS server needs to send the patient data to CT in the following format.

Procedure

  1. (0008,0005) Specific Character Set shall be set as “\ISO 2022 IR 87” (Japanese Character Set)
  2. (0010,0010) Patient Name shall be described as below.

    Roman alphabet=Kanji=Hiragana (or Katakana)

    Kanji and Hiragana （Katakana） can be omitted, but leave the “=”.

    Example:

    note:

    Some RIS server does not send Japanese Patient name to CT if “ISO_IR 100” (latin1) is used in (0008,0005) in C-FIND request. The “ISO_IR 100” is a default value set in (0008,0005) in CT. In that case, change the MWLCharSet in /usr/g/config/Dicom.cfg to “\ISO 2022 IR 87”.
