DocScanFx allows for multiple different archives and/or modality worklists to be used either in different modes or in the same mode. This example demonstrates using multiple archives in an a remote reading situation.
Scenario
A hospital sends after-hours studies to a remote reading service which requires additional background paperwork to be submitted with the exam. This additional paperwork is not needed in the hospital PACS archive so it only needs to be sent to the remote reader. In this example the imaging modality would have stored the exam to the hospital PACS archive and also to the remote reading service's archive. Using a mode like in the code demonstrated below allows the archive to only store the additional paperwork to the remote reading facility's PACS. The mode queries the local archive (QuerySource=Archive1) to get the needed study information to ensure the additional paperwork stores to the remote destination (StoreArchive=Archive2) with the same destination Study Instance UID of the previously stored exam. This ensures the additional paperwork is stored in the same study and isn't added to the local hospital's archive unnecessarily.
