# Gateway User Manual

## Overview

Gateway is the world's finest **DICOM study forwarder**. It is a secure communication platform that allows the transfer of DICOM study between medical systems and Qure's cloud server.  

Medical systems communicate via the DICOM protocol, whereas the Gateway application talks through REST over HTTPS. Therefore, it being a **DICOM protocol interface** that is understood by the medical systems as well as the REST API of Qure services, acts as a link between the two. 

### Use Cases and Workflow

The Gateway software can be used in 2 ways -  

1. PACS to PACS - Sending DICOM from PACS to Qure Cloud Server and receiving secondary capture back to PACS.  
2. PACS to Qure App - Sending DICOM from PACS, and viewing the secondary captures on Qure App, instead of receiving it back to PACS. 

For necessary cases, DICOM files can also be sent without PACS through a folder on Device. 

All PACS to Gateway communications happen through DICOM Protocol 

All Gateway to Qure Cloud Communications happen through HTTPS Protocol – Port 443
