Example Windows Conquest dicom.ini fileΒΆ
Below is an example dicom.ini file, including comments describing the function of some sections. The file calls
various lua scripts - see the Conquest import configuration document for an example - Advanced Lua Conquest configuration (Windows).
The example dicom.ini file:

# node to some of your imaging modalities, or to your PACS, so that you can send data to OpenREM from these systems.

# used for DICOM traffic. You may need to configure your server firewall to allow network traffic on this port.
