I'm looking for a way to connect the OEC 9900 Elite to an external laptop to save the image file of last x-ray taken on the laptop (or an external storage)
Is there anyway to do this on this OEC 9900 Elite model?
Connecting to external laptop or storage device to save image file
RE: Mobile C-Arm Report Post

You can click on image directory on the control panel. Then select CD/DVD drive on the left. Then highlight the images you want and select copy.

Thanks for your reply,
I need to save the image on a USB thumb drive, to transfer to another PC/laptop.
But this model doesn't have any USB port for external storage devise.
Any hint?

Cant you burn the image to a cd on the workstation then convert to jump drive on your laptop?

the problem is that physicians need fast transfer of image file to laptop during operation they do on patients, So image should be transferred in less than a minute for use in a software they have on laptop, and obviously burning a CD and transfer to laptop will take more than 1 minute.
could you think of any other solution? maybe any module to connect the machine to network via LAN etc.?

Consider using Jdicom on your laptop. If you and the machine are on the hospital net, you want the laptop to be given a mac address reserved IP so that you only have to set up the destination in the C-arm once instead of each time the laptop ends up with a different address. (or if need be as I do in the shop, direct connect the ethernet ports) Jdicom will allow you to set up a DICOM SCP which can accept the images and store them on the laptop. Then you can use a DICOM viewer to see the images that have been saved. You can try out various DICOM viewers to see what one the doc will like. Some free, some not. I use this method to transfer images for image transfer testing.
Be careful if you download the jdicom to check it for malware since some download sites have borked it a bit. Also, I have not tried it yet, but there may also be some possibility with DVTK.

- Hello I have a solution.
- But you need to buy a special board. Are your client ready for that.

The transfer speed is relevant to the image size, Network card capability, cable quality, the recipient pc capability and so-on.
Expecting, downloading of 1min from/to 9900 software version is pushing it! Particularly when your not using a archive system/infrastructure.

Unless I am wrong, you should be able to hit the store button and capture the last fluoro image. Then it can be transferred as any other image provided you have the DICOM feature enabled. As I said before, the easiest method would be to use the DICOM transfer feature if on the unit to transfer to JDICOM or any other open or closed source DICOM communications program and viewer. There are a ton of DICOM viewers out there. If all you have is the analog output, then the alternative would be to use a MediCapture brand device to capture the images as one of our machines in research does. Or any other analog capture device which Zado seems to be suggesting. Some are not at all cheap. As to net speed etc, one frame or Dicom image should be an eye blink unless Fred Flintstone runs your IT /PACS departments. .

Get the Sewell Direct Luna BNC + VGA to HDMI converter. Connect it to the analog BNC output then input to your laptop. Signal capture is instantaneous. You can even record video loops if you want. Works great on the 9800 as well. Gets the job done for under $50 with cables.
