problem between dcmprscu and dvt

[yinhaoscu]

I want to validate the dcmprscu (dcmtk3.5.4) with dvt 2.1.6. However I encountered the following errors:
Warning: Expected DICOM Dataset - none received from Product
Error: DULP - Received unexpected association RELEASE-RQ - connection is closed.
Error: Failed to import DICOM command
Error: Failed to receive N-CREATE-RQ Basic Film Box - as expected in DICOMScript.

In this case, there clearly is a problem with DVTk (who tests the tester?)
As part of the N-CREATE-RQ primitive, a dataset may or may not be sent. This specifically applies to the Basic Film Session SOP Class, where all attributes are optional for N-CREATE. By default, dcmprscu will not send any dataset with the N-CREATE-RQ, unless there is something to send actually. Obviously DVTk does not handle that case - it always expects a dataset and bails out at this point.
You can try to have this fixed in DVTk, or you can just "force" dcmprscu to send a dataset with the N-CREATE-RQ, for example by specifying the command line option

Code: Select all

dcmprscu --copies 1
