Product: DICOM Receive Completed Trigger for Workflow Automation
Overview
OmegaAI now introduces the DICOM Receive Completed trigger for Workflow Automation (WFA), enabling workflows to start automatically once a DICOM ingestion operation has successfully completed.
What's New
1. New DICOM Receive Completed Trigger
What changed:
A new Workflow Automation trigger is now available that executes after a DICOM ingestion session has been completed successfully.
The trigger fires when:
- A new study is received.
- Additional DICOM series or instances are added to an existing study.
- The configured Receive Timeout (default: 60 seconds) expires after the last received object.
- All study, series, instance, and ingestion metadata has been finalized and is available for workflow evaluation.
Benefits:
Supported Across All DICOM Ingestion Methods
The trigger works consistently regardless of how DICOM data enters OmegaAI, providing a unified automation experience across supported ingestion methods.
Asynchronous Workflow Execution Workflow Automation runs asynchronously after ingestion completes, ensuring image reception and ingestion performance are not delayed or interrupted.
DICOM Receive Completed vs. Study Status Triggers
| DICOM Receive Completed | Study Status Trigger |
|---|---|
| Fires after DICOM ingestion completes | Fires when a study status changes |
| Does not require a study status change | Requires a study status change |
| Supports new studies and incremental arrivals | Executes only when the study status changes |
| Ensures ingestion is complete before automation begins | Based solely on lifecycle transitions |
| Best for ingestion-driven workflows | Best for lifecycle-based workflows |
Important Notes
The DICOM Receive Completed trigger enables organizations to automate workflows immediately after DICOM ingestion, even when no study status change occurs.
This is valuable for:
- Automatically routing newly received studies.
- Triggering downstream integrations.
- Sending notifications after image reception.
- Processing incremental arrivals of additional series or instances.
- Building ingestion-driven workflows without relying on study lifecycle events.
