How do I setup my machine/equipment to work with Studycast?

Updated

What You Need

In order for a modality (ultrasound, nuclear camera, ABI machine, x-ray, etc.) to work with Studycast you'll need a few things.
 
  1. The Studycast upload application, CoreGateway, is installed on a Windows PC (laptop, workstation, or server) (see below for instructions)
  2. A DICOM-compliant imaging device
  3. A network cable to connect both devices to your office network (LAN), or a network crossover cable to connect your laptop and machine together.
  4. Studies to upload. For automatic population of values and measurements on the Studycast worksheet (primarily for ultrasound studies) you should prepare sample exams for each study type you perform. These studies should be comprehensive, with values captured using the calculation packages on your device.

It's also important that you have any administrator credentials or passwords needed to install software on your computer. If the computer is managed by an IT department in your organization, you may need their assistance or approval to install the CoreGateway application.
 

Step 1: Download CoreGateway

CoreGateway is the Studycast uploading application, which receives studies and securely uploads images.

CoreGateway should be installed on a device that is on the same network as your imaging device or connected to your imaging device via a crossover/ethernet cable.

Administrators and users with the Download CG permission can easily install CoreGateway right from the Studycast application. Just click the CG Download icon and follow the steps to complete the installation.

Note for UltraLinQ Clients: Once you install CoreGateway, you will not be able to upload studies to UltraLinQ. Please work with the Studycast Customer Success team to plan your transition from UltraLinQ to Studycast.

What you will need: 
Windows computer with administrative access

As part of the installation, you will see an option to configure this CoreGateway on Studycast. Click this option and select the division to which these studies should be uploaded.

Completing this step before your modality configuration appointment will help to expedite that appointment.

Ensure that " Enable automatic updates is selected

Step 2: Scheduling Your Appointment

Once you have the items above and downloaded CoreGateway, contact Studycast Support to schedule a time to complete the setup. When calling to schedule your installation and configuration appointment, the support team member will ask you for the following information:
 
  1. Your name and contact information (email and phone number)
  2. Your Studycast username
  3. The Division on the Studycast account for your facility that the studies will be associated with.
     
The appointment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes but varies based on factors like the number of devices being configured, and number of unique study types (echo, carotid, venous) you'll be sending to Studycast.
