As of November 2017, the Hospital uses a new PACS system called Sectra.

To access Sectra directly, you can download the new Sectra IDS7 PACS client to your (UPHS-managed) office desktop device or home-read workstation:

(1) Be on a UPHS device.
(2) Connect to the Penn network (onsite or via the new F5 VPN).
(3) Type “pacs” (or https://sectrapacs.uphs.upenn.edu/ids7) from your web browser.
(4) On first use, approve the installation of the software and wait for it to complete.

That’s it! Contact SPOC (215-552-8110) if any problems.

Data can be transferred directly from PACS (or from scanners) to the cluster via DICOM SCP Receiver protocol (aka “AE Titles”) in two ways:

XNAT - CfN's XNAT system

Orthanc - If you don't need the full functionality of XNAT, there's a simple DICOM SCP server running on the picsl-xnat server that's useful for getting data to the cluster.

Please contact the admins for details.
