YOU MUST SIGN YOUR REPORTS EVERY DAY.

Please review and edit and sign your reports promptly. We lose large amounts of revenue due to late reports.

You can not sign other peoples’ reports

From UCSD Risk Management

"We also want to draw your attention to the recent national attention given to the potential malpractice liability inherent in proxy signature of radiology reports (Smith and Berlin, American Journal of Roentgenology, 2001, 176, 27-30). We endorse the policy of the Department of Radiology that prohibits the use of proxy signatures. Medicare Conditions of Participation specify that "The radiologist or other practitioner who performs radiology services must sign the reports of his or her interpretations."

Challenging From home via CWP    
Insanely difficult   From home via VPN/CWP From home

 

Signing reports from inside the hospital is highly recommended. Setting up the CWP access from UCSD is doable but will take you some time to get authorization from IT. Setting up the VA VPN so that it actually works can be a frustrating and demoralizing experience.

Easiest thing is to sign reports via Talktech

Sign your reports at the end of readout each day so that they are available for the faculty to sign.

 

Signing reports at UCSD/Thornton using GUI or IDXRAD

You will need to have codes for IDXRAD. These will be given to you by Kim van Leeuwen, our IDXRAD support person.

Clinical Musculoskeletal Fellow Rotations

2007 – 2008

This handout lists your responsibilities on the rotations you will be assigned to during the year.

On call (see separate on call handout)

There will be 2 fellows on call each week, one primary call person covering all evening emergencies and weekend readouts for UCSD Medical Center and Thornton Hospital, and one person on call as a backup.

The weekend morning call readouts are at 7:00 am both Saturday and Sunday and last about 3-4 hours. This weekend morning call will be with faculty. The afternoon weekend call is usually for 2 hours and will be done solo for fellows that are credentialed. The back-up fellow will need to help when the primary call fellow is a Canadian.

You are on call for a week at a time, from 7 a.m. on Monday until 7 a.m. the following Monday. Your pager must be turned on and with you at all times and you must be easily accessible. Beeper range is approximately 35-40 miles from the UCSD Medical Center.

Call during the week is very light. The resident or technicians may call you for advice. You may be called to provide a protocol for a CT or MR. Rarely, the resident may ask you to come in and review films they do not feel comfortable reading. The most likely reason for being called in is to do a procedure, such as an aspiration of a suspected septic joint. Please go ahead and perform a procedure by yourself if you are credentialed you feel comfortable. Otherwise, call the bone faculty attending on call for that week for advice or assistance. Please do not do a bone biopsy without discussing the case with one of the faculty.

If you trade call, it is your responsibility to notify the attending on call at that time, the front desk of Radiology at each hospital and the hospital operators at each hospital affected about the trade.

 

VA Hospital

There will be at least 2, and almost always 3, MSK fellows assigned to the VA hospital throughout the year. In addition, there will be an MRI fellow also assigned to the VA as well as a resident rotating on telerad MR. Our research fellows are also based at the VA. You will have the opportunity to interact with radiologists from around the world who come to visit and or do research at the VA.

The VA offers the largest MR experience of the fellowship as all our teleradiology cases are handled at the VA. Teleradiology cases come from multiple sites, with an average of 40-50 MR per day that you will read with faculty. There are busier days when there may be up to 80 cases, so be prepared!

In addition to MR, the fully credentialed VA fellows cover reading for our Mission Valley outpatient site, which only does plain films. You will be paid per case for all the films you read. (rate around $6/case – computer keeps track of who is reading but good idea to keep a rough record for yourself). These have to get read…..promptly.

VA Workload (residents) VA: Teleradiology (fellows)
VA x-rays Approx 40-50 MR cases/day
VA CT and MR protocols/readouts Procedures
Mission Valley x-rays (credentialed, $$)

There is a weekly conference at 7:30 am on Fridays with the orthopedic residents. All fellows should select and prepare the interesting cases to be shown. The majority of the cases come from telerad. The fellows discuss these cases and present the conference using PowerPoint.

 

UCSD Medical Center at Hillcrest

There is normally one fellow assigned to the University Hospital in Hillcrest. For the first several weeks of the year, 2 fellows will be there together to help deal with orientation and learning the hospital system. The hospital is a trauma center and serves a large indigent population. The workload consists of a blend of conventional radiographs and a moderate number of cross-sectional studies. There is a big CT volume, mainly related to acute trauma.

The bone service at UCSD covers the trauma unit all week. Trauma films must be read as soon as they are performed. Please notify the trauma service about any important findings immediately. You must be on your pager and easily accessible. Phone call are incessant.

Thornton

There will be one fellow assigned to Thornton hospital. This is a large volume rotation consisting of some plain films, some cross-sectional imaging and a lot of osteoporosis studies. Most of the MR arthrography for UCSD patients is also performed at Thornton hospital.

Films from Orthomed (our outpatient orthopedic clinic) are read at Thornton. The Orthomed clinic will be relocating to Thornton in the fall so volume may go up.

The Thornton fellow is responsible for dictating the bone densitometry studies done at Thornton, and there are lots of them. (4th and Lewis Osteoporosis will be read at Hillcrest). Dr. Hughes is in charge of densitometry and will give you a talk on how to interpret DEXA studies.

Scripps

There will be two fellows assigned to Scripps all year. We will have three fellows there for the first few weeks. It is a very busy rotation. There are numerous radiographs to read (average of 100 per day), plus several cross-sectional studies (approx 20 MR/CT), and an average of 2-3 arthrograms daily. The fellows should review the films and predictate them before reviewing them with one of the bone attendings. You can check with the attending radiologist what time they are planning to stop by that day (usually in the afternoon). After reviewing the x-rays with the attending, you must correct or addend all the films that have a change from your preliminary reading. You must devise an effective and reliable system for correcting your predictated reports.

The bone fellows at Scripps do the arthrograms, which consist mainly of knee, shoulder and hip studies. Please feel free to ask the Interventional radiologists (Harry Knowles or Mohseen Sayeed), or any other radiologist (Shelley Kleinman is very helpful) at Scripps for assistance until you feel comfortable. Many of the arthrograms are for MR arthrography.

Once every couple of months, there is a Thursday evening bone conference at Scripps. Radiologists, orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists attend the conference. The fellow assigned to Scripps for the week of the conference is responsible for putting the conference together. The fellow needs to gather up 8-12 interesting cases, select the images to be presented, and send them to Dr. Resnick.

Spine

Each fellow will have a one-month rotation with neuroradiology. This rotation is designed to emphasize spine MR, and provide exposure to spine procedures. The primary contact person for this rotation is Dr. Wade Wong in the division of neuroradiology. This rotation will take place largely at the Hillcrest and VA hospitals, though many of the fellows rotate around to the other hospitals depending on the procedure schedule.

Naval Hospital

One fellow will be assigned to attend MR readouts at the Naval Hospital near Balboa Park. They have a large volume of musculoskeletal MR, particularly sports medicine. You will not have clinical privileges for this hospital so you can only act as an observer. The MR readout takes place in the morning, leaving the afternoon free. Please be available on your pager in case one of the other hospitals needs your help.

Children’s Hospital

One fellow will be assigned to pediatric imaging at the Children’s Hospital. They have a large volume of musculoskeletal cases and an excellent teaching file. You will have clinical privileges for this hospital so you can and will dictate, once your credentialing is complete.

Research/Float

Christine Chung is the boss of our research program.

All of you that are interested in research will have some weeks of dedicated research time to work on projects up in the lab or to work on clinical research projects. Those fellows not interested in doing research will remain on the clinical schedule. Research time is an excellent opportunity to do some consolidated work on your projects. It is a good time to set up lab time with Debbie Trudell or to do some MR scanning. Please call Debbie in advance because she has a very busy schedule.

Research time is not meant to be a vacation or a week to do locums. You are expected to be at work daily, to come to the bone conferences and to be available in case you are needed to cover in case of an emergency. The research fellows are our floating personnel that serve as back up if we need help. You must be on your pager and in town and available. Please check your email regularly and keep that pager on in case we need you to work!

Vacation

The chief fellow is the boss of vacation.

You are allowed 20 days of vacation during the year. Vacation is mostly on a first-come, first-served basis, though I make some effort to make sure everyone gets some time off for the major holidays and meetings.

Requests for time off must be submitted by email, I do not accept scraps of paper or verbal requests!! If you can, try to take vacation in blocks of time rather than a day here and there! Single days are allowed, but are more difficult to schedule.

All vacation time you take needs to be on the schedule. You need to let Milton and the chief fellow (or myself until we have a chief fellow) know if you need to go away unexpectedly.

Patella Tilt Measurements

From: Tudor Hughes [mailto:kelly.tudor@prodigy.net]
Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 9:59 PM
Subject: FW: Patella tilt and subluxation measurements - updated

 

The sports medicine orthopedic consultant; Robert Afra would like patella tilt and subluxation measured as follows:

 

Two new sequences for knee patella tracking study.

 

1.  Flexion views:

 

Mid patella single 2.5/3mm axial view @ right angles to patella articular surface (will need to angle gantry) @ 0, 15,30,45 degrees knee flexion, toes pointing straight up.  The degree of flexion can be eyeballed with experience, or a goniometer may be employed.  The angle can be checked on the lateral scout. 

 

The following 3 radiologist measurements are made on 30 degree angle view only. 

 

Patella tilt:  Base line is line between posterior femoral condyles.  Line on lateral facet of patella.  If angle between these is less than 10 degrees then abnormal.

 

Lateral trochlear angle:  Same base line.  Line on lateral side of trochlear groove.  Angle greater than 11 degrees is good.

 

Subluxation:  Measured in mm.  Draw lines down either side of trochlear groove.  Draw bisector of this angle from its apex.  Measure distance of patella apex from this line.

 

2.  Gunsight views.  Perform whilst the knee is at 30 degrees in the middle of the above series.

  

Toes pointing straight up.  No movement between slices.  Knee 30 degrees flexion.  ) 0 degree angle gantry. Axial 2.5/3mm cuts from top of trochlea notch/top of patella to bottom of tibial tubercle.

               

 Radiologist to measure "Tibial tubercle to trochlear groove displacement":  Draw posterior femoral condyle line as above.  Draw line at 90 degrees to this from apex of trochlear groove.  Transpose parallel lines to tibial tuberosity.  Measure distance difference of the two intersecting points along the line of the condylar line to a fixed point such as the edge of the film and subtract.  In other words what is the lateral distance between these two parallel lines one from the tibial tubercle, one from the apex of the trochlea notch, both at right angles to the line between the posterior femoral condyles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fellow Travel Expenses Policy

UCSD Musculoskeletal Section

We have limited funds to help cover part of the cost of attending a meeting. These funds are available only if you are presenting work that has been done during your fellowship.

Only current MSK radiology fellows and UCSD Radiology residents will be reimbursed for expenses related to presenting at a meeting. Each resident is eligible for reimbursement for 2 meetings from the Radiology Department travel fund. The MSK section will only pay for residents if the travel fund from the department has been depleted or is unavailable. Medical students will not be reimbursed with section funds.

Fellows and residents will only be reimbursed for travel expenses for meetings at which they are presenting a paper. Each fellow will be reimbursed for only one meeting during the year. If you have alternate sources of funding (e.g. research grant, commercial support), these must be used because our funding sources are limited.

Only meetings held in the United States and Canada will be covered. We will only reimburse expenses for major meetings (RSNA, Roentgen Ray, AUR, SMRM, SCD, ASBMR). Do not assume any other meetings will be reimbursed. If in doubt, check with Dr. Resnick to see if the meeting is reimbursable.

The work being presented must have been done here at UCSD/VA Medical Center. You will not be reimbursed if you attend a meeting to present work done during your residency program at a different institution. Fellows who have graduated and are no longer in the section will not be reimbursed.

Reimbursement will cover economy class round-trip airfare, registration fees and 2 nights of hotel accommodation. We will reimburse additional hotel stay if you are presenting more than one paper and need to stay longer. Meals, taxi fares and incidental expenses will not be reimbursed.

2. A second call should be initiated using the UCSD paging system or paging operator (x36440) to contact the physician.

3. If no response after 15 minutes, UCSD’s Vocada reporting system will initiate a second page to the referring physician and a new page to the referring physician’s back-up.

4. If no response after 1 hour, UCSD’s Vocada reporting system will initiate a third page to the referring physician and physician’s back-up.

5. If no response after 24 hours, UCSD’s Vocada reporting system will notify the system administrator to contact someone from the referring physician group.

When communicating test results, reporters should document the following in the Impax workstation "iBox" and dictated radiology report:

Name and credentials of reporter

Name and credentials of receiver

Name of test or procedure

Interpretation of test or procedure

Date and time

 

 

 

 

 

Policy Regarding Communication of

Preliminary Radiological Findings

(Draft 10-23-04)

 

The UCSD Radiology Department has acquired the VoiceLink system in order to facilitate and document the communication of preliminary results study interpretations.

FOR NON-EMERGENT FINDINGS WHERE THE HEALTH OF THE PATIENT IS NOT AT IMMEDIATE RISK OR IMMEDIATE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS ARE LIKELY TO BE INFLUENCED BY THE RESULTS:

Radiologists should use the VoiceLink system as their primary means to communicate all significant or unexpected results to the referring physician. Radiologists should state in the final report that a VoiceLink message was sent to the referring physician.

Radiologists should use the VoiceLink system as a primary means to communicate results when a request for "stat reading" or "wet reading" has been submitted by a referring treating physician. Radiologists should state in the final report that a VoiceLink message was sent to the referring physician.

Radiologists should use the VoiceLink system as their primary resource to communicate and document the communication regarding a discrepancy between a preliminary and subsequent reinterpretation of results. Direct communication should be provided in the event that the referring physician does not receive the VoiceLink message in a reasonable period of time. Radiologists should state in the final report that a VoiceLink message was sent to the referring physician.

FOR EMERGENT FINDINGS, WHERE THE HEATLH OF THE PATIENT IS AT IMMEDIATE RISK OR IMMEDIATE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS ARE LIKELY TO BE INFLUENCED BY THE RESULTS

Radiologists should use the VoiceLink system as a supplementary resource when communicated emergent findings to referring treating physicians. In addition to direct communication, an immediate VoiceLink message that includes the preliminary results should be created. Radiologists should include a reference within the initial VoiceLink message that additional attempts will be made to contact the referring physician directly. Radiologists should state in the final report that a VoiceLink message was sent to the referring physician.

If the radiologist is not able to directly communicate with the referring physician or his appropriate designated alternative person, AND the Voicelink message has not been documented as received by the referring physician within a reasonable period of time, additional efforts should be made to communicate the emergent finding directly to the referring physician or his designate. In addition, under extraordinary circumstances, the findings may be communicated to the patient or responsible guardian. Radiologists should state in the final report that a VoiceLink message was sent to the referring physician.

Computer Info: UCSD Proxy Information

June 24, 2007

Why you want to use the proxy server

Using Library Resources from Off-Campus:

Many of the library's Web resources are restricted to allow remote use by UCSD faculty, staff, and students. There is an easy way for you to use UCSD resources from home. The solution is a proxy server, managed by Academic Computing Services (ACS). By changing one of the settings in your Web browser, your connection to our resources such as online journals and databases will go through this proxy server, which will "authenticate" you with the providers of these resources on the Web. ACS maintains a very helpful Web page with detailed information on how to set up your Web browser to use the proxy. There are instructions for various Microsoft Internet Explorer and several other browsers. It will take you about 2 minutes to set up the proxy.

Advantage of proxy server

Caches frequently accessed Web sites. This makes it much faster for you to load Web pages that another UCSD user (including you) has looked at recently.

Permits UCSD customers to access Internet services that are restricted to the UCSD community from non-UCSD Internet service providers (such as RoadRunner, AOL, Cox AtHome, etc.).

Web resources that become available include:

Library Databases (http://libraries.ucsd.edu/databases.html)

Electronic Journals (http://libraries.ucsd.edu/ejournals.html)

Reference Sources (http://libraries.ucsd.edu/refshelf.html)

WebBT 2000 UCSD Web-based Training System (http://www-cbt.ucsd.edu)

Among the many restricted resources that become accessible are all MELVYL system/CDL article databases (such as MEDLINE, INSPEC, MLA), hundreds of electronic journals from leading scholarly publishers, Academic Universe, JSTOR, and Web of Science.

UCSD username and password

You need to have a UCSD username and password in order to use the proxy server. Everyone at UCSD is assigned one and Kim van Leeuwen should have given it to you, but you may not have it or know what it is. If you do not know what your UCSD username and password are, or need other proxy-related assistance, contact ACS' Network Operations unit:

http://www-acs.ucsd.edu/

Phone: 534-4060 (10 am – 3 pm)

Walk-in Support Hours: 10am - 3:30pm, Monday thru Friday

Applied Physics & Mathematics Building, room 2113

Their website outlining how to find out what your UCSD username and password is

http://www-no.ucsd.edu/services/netusername.html

Here is their advice on finding out your information

"UCSD faculty and staff : Check with your local system administrator; if they don't know, or you don't have a local computing support staff, you may send electronic mail to postmaster@ucsd.edu, telephone (858) 534-3227, or come to our office (AP&M 1313, open M-F 8-4:30) with a picture ID (preferably your UCSD ID). . However, note that we cannot give out passwords over the phone.

Bottom line – go there to get your stuff!

Setting up the proxy server on your computer

If you are a techno-geek and familiar with proxy servers and do not want to read the instructions, all you need to know is that the proxy address is:

http://webproxy.ucsd.edu/proxy.pl

 

Otherwise, follow the detailed instructions for various browsers available at

http://www-no.ucsd.edu/documentation/squid/

It won’t take you more than a few minutes.

Computer Info: Using the Web1000

Mini Pathria

Introduction

PACS

Both UCSD and VA hospital systems use AGFA PACS

Web1000 is Agfa’s Web-browser

You can use the Web1000 to look at cases from home

Web1000 -- Starting up

You need a PC with at least 124 megabytes RAM

You need fast internet access via cable, ISDN, DSL, or T1 line

Do not try this with a phone modem, it is too slow to work

Minimum screen 1024x768 resolution

Minimum 16 bit color

UCSD/Thornton

UCSD/Thornton

Setting up for UCSD/Thornton is EASY, you should get this working in under 5 minutes!!!

UCSD/Thornton: Starting up

You need a 6 digit provider number (if you have a 5 digit number, just add a zero at the beginning) for UCSD and a password

You should get this number at orientation

If you can not find your number, contact person Ms. Kim van Leeuwen at 619-543-6760

UCSD/Thornton: Starting up

Web address is http://pacs.ucsd.edu/Launch

UCSD/Thornton: First time

The first time you log on, you will get a series of scary messages asking you to grant full security rights to Mitra Corporation

You have to hit the "grant" button or it will not work

Use the "remember" button so you don’t get them again

If you typed the right url, you will see a pink web1000 login screen

VA Medical Center

Setting up for VA is not as easy, because you have to track down one of our IT people to give you the software to install to set up the VPN connection to get through the VA firewall

Starting up VA

You need a VA provider number and password

This provider number is different than the one you use for UCSD

Contact person is Mr. Mike Olds VA x7576 molds@ucsd.edu

Setting up for VA

You must install VPN software on your computer to access the VA. There is no web logon across VA firewall without VPN running on your computer.

Installing VA software

Install software on the CD given to you by Mike Olds

Will install VPN software automatically to c:/program files

You should have 2 new directories on your c drive called VPN and VISTA

You should have an icon for VA VPN on your desktop

Once you have installed the VA VPN client

You have to be running the VPN software to be able to use the internet to look at VA cases

Run VPN and enter your VA username and password (the ones given to you by Mike Olds) until you are connected

You will have an icon in your tray telling you that you are connected

Web log-on VA

The URL for VA is http://vhasdcweb1000/

Same scary messages

You will get a series of scary messages the first time

You have to hit the "grant" button or it will not work

Use the "remember" button so you don’t get them again

If you typed the right url, you will see a pink web1000 login screen

 

Both hospitals: Once you have the pink logon screen

Enter your provider name/number and password in the appropriate boxes

They are different for UCSD/Thornton and VAYou have to hit the "grant" button or it will not work

Click on the connect button

Be patient. If you did everything correctly, a gray screen like the one below will open up by itself

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to actually use the webserver

First things first

The left button specifies patient location

Default is web cache, this is not the best choice

Click on location button

Make sure you have "All locations" selected

"Web cache" only holds cases for 60 days

Occasionally, new cases are not in the cache

You can modify the default in preferences so "All locations" is default

First things first

Make sure the "enable lossy compression" button is highlighted

This makes image loading and viewing much faster

It should be highlighted by default, can modify in preferences

Decide what you want to see

Specific patient, specific modality, specific date?

Narrow search by using either the quick access buttons or the search criteria boxes

Quick access buttons

Use should have quick access buttons to search by ID or name

Using search criterion boxes

Use these to look for specific range of exams

Must use these if you can not remember the patient’s name or ID number

Search criteria

You can search in a variety of other ways, though the body part and location criteria do not same to work on the web

The easiest ways to search are using the name or ID number, ID number is better because trauma patients at Hillcrest have 2 names

Parts of the name and initials do not work!!

Last name alone is fine

No advantage over quick access buttons

How to start search

Once you have selected criteria, click the search button (flashlight)

Wait…. The more you constrain your search, the shorter the wait.

Select patient from list

Single click name of the patient to highlight it

Then click thumbnail, image, or report buttons on top

Select patient from list

Right click name to access choices

Double-click name to go straight to images

Folders

Some patients with multiple exams done at the same time will be listed as a folder

Hit the + to the left of the folder to view study details

Do not double click the name or it will try to load everything, which takes forever...

Open folder

After you hit the + sign, the study details become visible immediately

To view study, click image mode tab on top

Select series

Blue box

Blue box is the series you have selected for viewing

Name of series listed above on MR exams

Can select one or all series

Hit OK button to view series you have selected

Moving through the images

Use sliding number bar to look at images by dragging or by clicking anywhere in the bar

Can also use cine mode to load everything in your cache. Hit cine icon, it will look jerky and be very slow while it loads each image. Go away for a few minutes. Once it has loaded everything, viewing and cine will be smooth.

Rewindowing the image

Hold left mouse button down and scroll across and up and down the image

If that does not work, right click and make sure you have windowing selected on the floating toolbar

Rewindowing all the images

Highlight the link button before you window, that way any rewindowing you do is applied to all the images in that series

Stupidly, the link button is not a default, you need to add it to your toolbar by going into preferences and modifying your toolbars

Saving images

You can save images by clicking the save icon (looks like a floppy disk)

Default save type is jpg

Average file size is 100 kbytes per image

Preferences

There is an icon that looks like this that allows you to set up all your preferences and toolbars

 

 

 

Conferencing

Marconi wireless network

Subject: Medical Center 802.11b/g Wireless Network Users,
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 07:34:41 -0700
From: "UCSD Healthcare" <ucsd-healthcare-l-relay@UCSD.EDU>
 

Medical Center 802.11b/g Wireless Network Users,

 

In order to add additional security to our wireless system, UCSD Medical Center will be changing its 802.11b/g wireless encryption method from WEP to the newer and more secure WPA-PSK.  By the end of the month we are asking all wireless users to reconfigure their wireless devices so they use the newer WPA-PSK encryption method when connecting to the wireless network. Guidelines on how to configure your laptop for both encryption methods can be found at

 

http://uhphone.ucsd.edu/Wireless/Procedures/procedures.htm

 

To obtain the wireless encryption key, please call the Helpdesk at 619-543-HELP.

 

The timeline and status of this deployment, as well as other wireless information can be found at

http://uhphone.ucsd.edu/Wireless/WiFi_home.htm

 

 

Regards,

 Wireless Support Team

 

 

From

http://uhphone.ucsd.edu/Wireless/Procedures/Dell-2kXP/Dell-2kXP.htm

   Wireless How-To Procedures

Note: Depending on what client software you use to configure your wireless card, WPK-PSK can be referred to by different names.  WPA-HOME, WPA-PASSPHRASE and WPA-PERSONAL are the synonymous with WPA-PSK.

Outline of Wireless Profile Configuration Information for WPA-PSK

WPA-PSK Configuration Screen shots for Dell Laptop Windows 2000/XP Systems

Wireless Connection Trouble Shooting Guide 

 

Outline of Wireless Profile Configuration Information for WPA-PSK  

The instructions below will provide you with the information you will need to properly configure your wireless client device for UCSD Medical Center's 802.11b/g wireless network.

1.        Using the wireless cards management program or the wireless network adapter management interface (for example, the Windows Network control panel icon for the wireless adapter) follow outline below when configuring the wireless card.

a. PROFILE NAME (Some client allow for a free text profile name): UCSDHC

b. NETWORK NAME (or SSID): marconi (case-sensitive)

c. ENCRYPTION / AUTHENTICATION: Use WPA-PSK Network Authentication with TKIP data encryption.(Call 3-Help for current encryption key)

d. NETWORK TYPE: Access Point (sometimes call "infrastructure mode"), in other words your Network access should be to Access Points only , not "any available network" or "computer to computer".

e. Do NOT automatically connect to non-preferred networks.

f. Your network IP address/DNS information should be configured to use DHCP.  In the Windows environment, select the Network and Dial-up Connections, then right click on your Wireless Adaptor and choose properties. From the General Tab, scroll-down the components window and high light Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Next choose Properties. Ensure the IP and DNS settings are: 

Obtain an IP address automatically (use DHCP)

Obtain DNS server address automatically (uses DHCP)

h. This completes the configuration. Your wireless client device should discover the "marconi" network

2.        When you connect to the wireless network you must authenticate (login) to the wireless network. You can use your:

a. AD login (its the same password you used to login to Weboutlook, Web PCIS and your Outlook client to get your UCSD email).

b. Campus RADIUS login.

To get to the wireless network login screen you MUST start your web browser and connect to any non-secure web site (in other words connect to a http:// website NOT at https:// website). You will be directed to the wireless network login screen automatically (if you are not getting redirected automatically you should close the browser and try one more time.  If this does not work see the Trouble shooting section below.

If your wireless device is not setup to handle interactive authentication and you require automatic authentication, your device’s MAC address (sometimes call a physical address) can be configured into the wireless network to auto-authenticate.

 

 

Example of DELL Truemobile wireless adapter WPA-PSK configuration:

How do I get to my Windows Wireless Network Connection dialog box like the one shown below?

1. Get to the Windows Control Panel: Windows 2000 and below: Go to START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL  Windows XP: Go to START > CONTROL PANEL.
2. If in Classic View mode (panel shows a bunch of icons): DOUBLE CLICK ON NETWORK CONNECTIONS ICON  XP View mode (State to Pick a Category): Click on NETWORK AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS > NETWORK CONNECTIONS ICON.
3. Find the icon that is used for your Wireless Connection, highlight it and right mouse clink.  Choose Properties.

1. Go to your Network and Internet Connection Control Panel Window and Select Network Connections.

 

 

2. Find your wireless network adapter, high light it and right mouse click. Choose Properties.

 

 

3. High light the TCP/IP protocol and click the properties button, In the ‘General Tab’ ensure ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ and ‘Obtain DNS server address automatically’ are selected.

 

4. In the ‘Wireless Networks’ Tab, Clink on the ‘Add’ Button.

 

 

5. In the ‘Association’ tab Configure the SSID, Network Authentication, Data Encryption as shown below:

  (Pathria note: Type Marconi for the Network name)

 

6. In the ‘Authentication’ tab, all items should be ‘grayed-out’ as shown below:

 

 

7. In the ‘Connection’ tab, select ‘connect when this network is in range’

 

 

8. Click on the OK button to save the profile, you should see Marconi as a preferred network.

 

 

9. Click on the Advance button in the preferred network section and verify the Network Type is infrastructure (or Access Point).

 

 

END OF SECTION

 

Wireless Connection Process and Trouble shooting Section:

This section is just meant to give the user a basic overview about what is going on when they connect to the UCSD Medical Center's wireless network and provide some trouble shooting guidelines to help locate the problem.

Phase 1: Association - The mobile device’s Radio Card and the UCSDMC Access Point’s radio card establish a connection. What effects this phase is the Network name (SSID), authentication settings and encryption settings and signal strength.

Let's trouble shoot this phase:

1

  Do you have the correct SSID (network name) in your wireless profile?  Remember it IS case sensitive.

2

  Do you have the correct authentication and encryption method?  The encryption key IS case sensitive and must be exact.

  Note: Depending on what client software you use to configure your wireless card, WPK-PSK can be referred to by different    names.  WPA-HOME, WPA-PASSPHRASE and WPA-PERSONAL are the synonymous with WPA-PSK.

3

  If the above settings are correct you should see a radio signal that is in the 'good' or better range and the signal strength should be at least 2 times greater than the noise signal on your dell signal strength meter.

 

 

Phase 2: DHCP Request - After successfully associating, the mobile device asks the network for its network IP address and other networking information by using a protocol called DHCP.  This request is normally satisfied in about 5 seconds after the radios associate. 

Let's trouble shoot this phase:

  You can verify your DHCP request has been satified on your Windows system by go to START > RUN > Enter "cmd"  > In the command window, at the prompt, type "ipconfig".

   You should see and IP address of 192.168.160.x, where x is any number between .2 and .254.  If you do not have an IP address in this range then "9/10 times" the you are not connected to the network because something is wrong with your wireless profile configuration (see Phase 1 above).   If you sure that nothing is wrong with your setup in phase 1, move to another area with wireless coverage that is a few hundred feet away and issue the follow command at the prompt, "ipconfig/renew".  This will force another DHCP request to the network.  

2

   If other wireless devices are not working in the same area, report the problem to 3-help and have a trouble ticket opened with the UCSD Medical Center's wireless support team.  You will need to provide location and room number, for example "Hillcrest radiology near room 1-121."

 

 

Phase 3: Authentication -  Before the wireless gateway system lets you on the network it will require you to authenticate. To get to the authentication website you will need to start up your web-browser. If your default home page is to a "http://" site (as opposed to a https:// site), you will be automatically redirected to the authentication page. If your mobile device can’t interactively authenticate through the web, it can be set up so it will auto-authenticate using your device’s MAC address (you will have to register this address with the wireless network).

Let's trouble shoot this phase:

1

  If your default home page is not and http:// website, you will not get automatically redirected to the wireless login page.  Change your default website.  On IE, it would be Tools > Internet Options > General Tab > Home Page section.

2

  Is your browser configured to use a proxy server, if so disable it.  On IE, you would go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN Settings button.  Uncheck "automatically detect.." and "Use proxy server...". 

3

  You need to have a valid IP address before this Phase will work, verify that you have a good IP address by referring to Phase 2 above.

4

 You can try and force a direct connection to the login page by typing the web address is http://192.168.160.1/login.pl

 

Phase 4: Bluesocket Role Assignment - If you successfully authenticate, you will be assigned to a role that governs what kind of access you will have on the UCSDHC network. This could range from no-restrictions (except for security restriction already imposed by UCSDHC network) to no-access at all.  Medical Center employees are given the same kind of access they have with their personal desktop computers.

Let's trouble shoot this phase:

1

  You can use your AD login (its the same password you used to login to Weboutlook, Web PCIS and your Outlook client to get your UCSD email).  For UCSD Medical Center AD password resets please call 3-HELP.

2

  OR you can use your Campus RADIUS login.  Support for Campus RADIUS account information and password resets can be found at http://acs.ucsd.edu/faculty-staff/password.php

 

Phase 5: Connected -You are connected to the UCSD Medical Center network governed by your wireless gateway role.

NOTICE: Wireless users are expected to maintain the UCSD Minimum Network Connection Standards when they have an active VPN account.  Details of these guidelines can be found at http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/networkstandards
(UCSD Policy and Procedure Manual, Section 135-3, Computing Services)

In summary, devices must:

1. Stay current with mandatory and security software patches.
2. Anti-virus Software must be installed and running with the latest virus definition file.
3. If a service is not necessary for the intended purpose or operation of the device, that service should not be running.
4. Host-based firewall software should be running on the system.
5. Passwords should not be trivial and treated in a protected manner.
6. Unattended devices should "lock" and require a user to re-authenticate if left unattended for more than 20 minutes.

Medical Center 802.11b/g Wireless Network Users,

 

In order to add additional security to our wireless system, UCSD Medical Center will be changing its 802.11b/g wireless encryption method from WEP to the newer and more secure WPA-PSK.  By the end of the month we are asking all wireless users to reconfigure their wireless devices so they use the newer WPA-PSK encryption method when connecting to the wireless network. Guidelines on how to configure your laptop for both encryption methods can be found at

 

http://uhphone.ucsd.edu/Wireless/Procedures/procedures.htm

 

To obtain the wireless encryption key, please call the Helpdesk at 3-HELP.

 

Regards,

Wireless Support Team

Once you get the wireless set up on your computer, start your web browser and a box will pop up requesting your UCSD network user name and password. After you enter that info, you will be logged on.

If you want to print out a detailed instruction guide, I have saved the info from the website in a file on your CD. The file is called

Dr. Bradley’s MR Course

Dr. Bradley's week-long MR course is held 4 times each year. The course is designed for general radiologists and contains a lot of useful and current MR physics information. The MSK faculty give 4-5 hours of lectures during the course. Please try to attend some of the course if you have free time during the weeks of the course. There is no charge for current fellows to attend (and there is free food!).

The course is held at UCSD Medical Center in the conference room adjacent to Dr. Bradley’s office, located on the 4th floor of the Multi Purpose Building (between the main hospital and the MR building).

Here are the dates for his course during 2007, the 2008 dates are not yet available.
