Das Problem

Die Problematik ist allen Ärzten bekannt und nimmt zu. Patienten bringen in die Sprechstunde eine CD mit, auf der sich die Röntgenbilder befinden. Man legt sie ins Laufwerk ein und es öffnet sich ein Bildbetrachtungsprogramm (sog. Viewer), von jedem Radiologen ein anderes, je nach Rechnergeschwindigkeit mit erheblichem Zeitaufwand. In die Bedienung jedes Viewers muss man sich erst einarbeiten, erneut zeitaufwändig. Häufig wird der Betrachter anschließend geschlossen und die jeweiligen Bilder werden in das eigene Verwaltungsprogramm importiert – und je nach Version muss auch hier Verzeichnis für Verzeichnis durchsucht werden.

Die Lösung

Gemeinsam mit der Praxis Teltow wurde das Programm DICOM Flat Copy (DFC) entwickelt. Es unterbindet den Start des jeweiligen Bildbetrachtungsprogramms und kopiert alle DICOM-Patientenröntgenbilder im Hintegrund von der CD auf den Rechner, sobald diese eingelegt wurde. Dort spielt erstens die Geschwindigkeit des Laufwerks keine Rolle mehr, Sie können die Bilder mit dem praxiseigenen Viewer mit dem vertrauten Handling schnell öffnen und darüber hinaus patientenzugeordnet speichern, so dass sie in Zukunft per Mausklick aus der Patientenakte heraus erneut an jedem Arbeitsplatz geöffnet werden können (wichtig z.B. bei Verlaufsbeobachtungen von Frakturen, Endoprothesen etc.).

Die Funktionen

Automatisch Bilder kopieren

CD/DVD einlegen und schon können ohne weiteres Zutun die Patientenbilder kopiert werden.

Automatisch Zielverzeichnis öffnen

Sind die Bilder kopiert, können die Dateien gleich angezeigt werden, um wertvolle Arbeitszeit zu sparen.

Automatisch CD/DVD auswerfen

Im Anschluss an den Kopiervorgang kann das Medium gleich ausgeworfen und dem Patienten wieder ausgehändigt werden.

Automatisch alte Bilder löschen

Patientendaten sammeln oder temporär zur Betrachtung speichern. Je nach Arbeitsablauf kann auch nach dem Einlege der CD/DVD aufgeräumt werden.

Autostart der CD/DVD verhindern

Keine Störenden Abfragen mehr und kein Wildwuchs an langsamen und inkompatiblen Betrachtern mehr. Rückfragen und der Start werden unterbunden.

Automatisch beim Login starten

Einmal installiert und schon kann gearbeitet werden. Auch beim Neustart des Rechners läuft die Software wieder automatisch im Hintergrund.

Beliebige Zielverzeichnisse

Die Patientenbilder können an beliebigen Orten gespeichert werden, z.B. auf einem geteilten Netzlaufwerk.

Automatische Updates

Damit neue Funktionalitäten und Fehlerausbesserungen Sie stets erreichen, ist eine Updatefunktion gleich mit eingebaut.

Die häufigsten Fragen

Können auch Bilder mit dem Programm betrachtet oder bearbeitet werden?

Nein, das Programm vereinfacht ausschließlich die Handhabung vorhandener DICOM-Bilder einer Patienten-CD-ROM/-DVD. Für die Betrachtung der Dateien existiert zum einen bereits frei verfügbare Software, zum anderen ist diese meist im Lieferumfang des Equipments für digitales Röntgen enthalten.

Ich habe die Dateien auf dem Desktop, was nun?

Je nach Arbeitsablauf in der Praxis, können die Bilder einfach betrachtet oder in ein Verwaltungsprogramm integriert werden. Zu dem letztgenannten Punkt hat ein Anwender folgendes Beispiel skizziert: "Wir nutzen das DFC-Program, um die Daten der CDs auszulesen. Sie sind dann auf dem Desktop gespeichert. Ich arbeite mit dem Viewer von Oehm. Dort kann ich über "Daten importieren" (F3) einen Pfad festlegen, also z.B. C:\Desktop\DicomFlatCopy. Dort liegen die jeweils zuletzt importierten Bilder. Sie werden dann dem Patienten zugeordnet und auf meinem Röntgen-Server gespeichert. Diese Prozedur ist von Praxisprogramm zu Praxisprogramm unterschiedlich."

Welche Systemanforderungen müssen erfüllt sein?

  • Unterstützte Betriebssysteme: Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP SP2 / 2000 SP3 / 98 / 98SE / ME / Server 2003.
  • Laufzeitumgebung: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8. Wird bei Bedarf installiert (erforderlicher Festplattenspeicher: 280 MB (x86), 610 MB (x64))
  • Erforderlicher Festplattenspeicher: 2 MB für die Installation. Weiterhin kann für eine Patienten-DVD bis zu 4 GB Speicherplatz erforderlich sein.

Ist das Programm mit XYZ kompatibel?

Dicom Flat Copy analysiert und kopiert die Daten von CD-ROMs und DVDs, die kompatibel zum DICOM-Standard sind. DICOM ist ein offener Standard zum Austausch von Informationen in der Medizin und wird von vielen medizinischen Anwendungen unterstützt. Es kann jedoch vorkommen, dass dieser Standard nicht richtig eingehalten wurde - einige dieser Ausnahmen werden bereits berücksichtigt.

Ist das Programm mit XYZ inkompatibel?

Bislang sind keine Programme bekannt, die mit Dicom Flat Copy Probleme verursachen.

Handelt es sich um eine zeitlich begrenzte Lizenz?

Nein, das Programm kann beliebig lange eingesetzt werden.

Ist die Sofware netzwerkfähig?

Durch die Verwendung von Netzwerkfreigaben, können die kopierten Daten auch über ein Netzwerk zur Verfügung gestellt werden.

Kann ich das Programm über das Netzwerk installieren?

Durch die Verwendung des Aufrufes dfc_setup.exe /verysilent kann das Programm ohne weitere Rückfragen eingerichtet werden. Dies ermöglicht eine Installation über das Netzwerk mit einer beliebigen Verwaltungssoftware (z.B. Microsoft Sysinternals PsTools).

Wie sind Programmupdates reguliert?

Updates können kostenlos heruntergeladen werden. Das Programm sucht alle 7 Tage automatisch nach Updates und installiert die neue Version auf Anfrage im Hintergrund. Feedback und Änderungswünsche werden gerne entgegengenommen und wenn möglich in die nächste Version übernommen.

Was kann ich nach einer Fehlermeldung machen?

Jegliche Art von Feedback hilft, das Programm zu verbessern. Bitte versenden Sie die Fehlermeldung (diese Option wird automatisch angeboten). Sobald die Datei analysiert wurde, erhalten Sie eine Mail mit weiteren Rückfragen.

Warum erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung System.UnauthorizedAccessException?

Das Problem kann auftreten, wenn folgende Kombination zutrifft:

  1. Dicom Flat Copy wird von Benutzern mit unterschiedlichen Rechten auf dem selben PC bzw. mit dem selben Zielverzeichnis verwendet.
  2. Die CD-ROM wurde bereits einmal von einem Benutzerkonto mit Administrationsrechten eingelesen und das Verzeichnis anschließend nicht gelöscht.
Das Recht, eine Datei einer anderen Person überschreiben zu dürfen, ist eine Sicherheitsfunktion von Microsoft Windows und die Lösung des Problems liegt daher leider außerhalb der Handlungsgrenzen von Dicom Flat Copy. Ab Version 2.6.3.0 wird auf diesen Umstand hingewiesen.

An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

  • b) Data subject

    Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

  • c)    Processing

    Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

  • d)    Restriction of processing

    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

  • e)    Profiling

    Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

  • f)     Pseudonymisation

    Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • g)    Controller or controller responsible for the processing

    Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

  • h)    Processor

    Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • i)      Recipient

    Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

  • j)      Third party

    Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

  • k)    Consent

    Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. Collection of general data and information

This website collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, we analyze anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

4. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

5. Rights of the data subject
  • a) Right of confirmation

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  • b) Right of access

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations grant the data subject access to the following information:

    • the purposes of the processing;
    • the categories of personal data concerned;
    • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;
    • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
    • the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing;
    • the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
    • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;
    • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

    Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

    If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  • c) Right to rectification

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  • d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

    • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
    • The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
    • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
    • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
    • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
    • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

    If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

    Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

  • e) Right of restriction of processing

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

    • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
    • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.
    • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
    • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

    If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. An employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.

  • f) Right to data portability

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee.

  • g) Right to object

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

    We shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    If we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to us to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by us for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

    In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

  • h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.

    If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee.

  • i) Right to withdraw data protection consent

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee.

6. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

7. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

8. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

9. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

10. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
