1. Introduction 
 
 
 
 Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about 
anything, we ought to know a little about everything.” 
 
Blaise Pascal 
 
 
 
 
 
NumaLink-3.0 is an OEM-to-OEM nuclear medicine image translator that supports translation among a 
number of OEM data formats. NumaLink-3.0 also provides translation to the DICOM 3.0 standard for 
nuclear medicine as well as communication directly with DICOM 3.0 compliant applications (DICOM by 
Merge). 
 
A translation type is defined as a translation from one specified OEM format to another. NumaLink-3.0 
will support one or more translation types, as specified in a customer-modifiable configuration. Data 
paths are specified for each defined translation type; optionally, various translation and customization 
parameters may also be specified per translation type. 
 
Debug capabilities allow a translation to be divided into input, customization and output phases; the 
results of each phase can be examined. 
 
The NumaLink-3.0 Graphic User Interface (GUI) provides user-friendly configuration and control. 
Alternatively, a command line interface supports all features of the GUI as well as several extensions for 
debugging. 
 
Logging is provided to maintain a history of translations and any resulting errors. 
 
Caching is provided, which, in conjunction with debugging, allows translations to be re-executed without 
re-transferring the input files.
