Routing Overview
Routing User Guide
determines if images at the destination are older than the number of days specified in
RETENTION PERIOD
. Images older than the specified number of days
are deleted from
the destination’s storage location.
For DICOM destinations, routed images are retained until they are deleted locally. The
routing software will not delete images sent to DICOM destinations.
 Routed images are copies. The original image files are retained at the site where they
were acquired.
The age of a routed image is based on the transmission queue entry for that image, not on the
date of the image file itself. Changes made to the date of the image file (such as those made by
some anti-virus packages) will not affect when the image is deleted.
