In general, NumaLink-3.0 discovers nuclear medicine image files in one OEM format that are placed in a 
configured input directory, and translates them to image files in another OEM format in a configured 
output directory. While performing this translation, it makes use of various directories in a work directory 
tree. This flow is shown in Figure 4.

Input files are removed from the input directory as they are processed. Input files are not deleted 
immediately; instead, they are moved to one of the following directories in the work directory tree: 
 

<work-directory>\cache

 

All files that have been translated successfully 

<work-directory>\trash

 

All files that could not be translated successfully 

<work-directory>\staging

 

Any files that are considered part of an incomplete translation set (for 
example, if GSPECT studies are in separate time bin files and one of 
the bins is missing; files in the staging directory are combined with files 
that subsequently appear in the input directory, in the hope that at 
incomplete set will eventually become complete and translatable) 

 
Other directories in the work directory tree are: 
 

<work-directory>\intm_1 

Temporary storage for intermediate format dumps before customization 

<work-directory>\intm_2 

Temporary storage for intermediate format dumps after customization 

<work-directory>\nifimg 

Temporary storage for pixel data
