DICOM @ OFFIS

Thanks for the reply. If I am right, compressing DCM or JPEG images leads to decrease in quality of the image. Also without compression , the load on the network is quite high while transferring the images from one machine to another on a low bandwidth connection. Hence I was wondering that to retai...

What is the command to compress the DICOM image using DCMTK? Can we compress XML DICOM data?

Thanks,

Hi, I am not able to access an archive if I set the peer to one of the entries defined in the hostTable in the file imagectn.cfg. My hostTable definition looks fine. If I set the peer to ANY for the same archive, I am able to access it. What could be wrong here? Below is an abstract from my imagectn...

Example 1: There is no SOPClassUID (0008,0016) starting with "MR". Maybe, you wanted to query for Modality (0008,0060)? The SOPClassUID was actually called "=MRImageStorage". So I reran the query with the correct value as : findscu -k 0008,0052="STUDY" -k 0008,0016=&qu...

Hi, Can you please clarify which part of the FINDSCU response tells that it has been successful in finding theimage matching our query as I am not able to differentiate betweena successful search and a un-sussessful one.

Is there no way to get a list of database entries that match with a specific query? Is there any other command that I can use. My problem is that I have a specific query which has information only about the image and not about the patient. For e.g my query consists of tags like (0008,1030)-StudyDesc...

Hi, I read through the DICOM specifications for query / retrieval class. I am still having problems in performing the query / retrieve correctly using DCMTK. I tried a command of the sort : findscu -k 0008,0052="PATIENT" -v -P rjynt 104 --call COMMON ( Note that I have not given any query ...

Thanks for your input.

Hi, I want to know what exactly is the difference between the options --call and --aetitle of the command echoscu? The man pages say : -aet --aetitle aetitle: string set my calling AE title (default: ECHOSCU) -aec --call aetitle: string set called AE title of peer (default: ANY-SCP) But I am not ver...

I just have a few more question: 1. Does the client make use of the imagectn.cfg file present in the client's database or is it only for the server to validate the clients? If yes, for what? 2. Is there a way for the client to find out what all repository servers it can access and at which port thes...
