DICOM @ OFFIS

A concise documentation of these tools is contained in the corresponding docs directories, see wlmscpfs.man and storescp.man.

AE stands for "Application Entity", so the Called Application Entity Title cannot be recognized by the other system. The two systems, client and server, use symbolic, clear-language names to identify each other. When a client is requesting an association, it transfers a "called AE tit...

MPPS is indeed the way how to accomplish this task. Concerning the licensing question: please send an email to dicom /at/ offis /dot/ de in case you want to license the tool. To tell you some details about the application: the application is called ppsscpfs (MPPS-SCP based on the file system as a co...

It is not quite clear what you are asking for. Two interpretations are possible: 1. You want to know how to determine when a study has been performed/completed at a certain modality. 2. You want to know how to tell wlmscpfs to not use a .wl file any more, because a study has been performed/completed...

Ok, so I haven't misunderstood you earlier. This is possible with DCMTK. This is exactly what storescu does: send a DICOM object (which is available as a DICOM file) over the network to an SCP (server). Look at storescu's source code to find out how to do this. Look out for "ASC_initializeNetwo...

Yes, storescu and storescp are command line tools. All tools in DCMTK are command line tools. In case you need a piece of source code that will show you how to send a DICOM file to a Storage SCP, you need to look at storescu's source code. It is not that complicated. If that is not want you want, ex...

Use storescu to send a DICOM file via network to a server. Use storescp to receive a DICOM file via network and store it to a hard drive. By the way, in the context of the DICOM standard, a client application is called an SCU (service class user), and a server application is called an SCP (service c...

Regarding the LNK2001 error, see FAQ #27 (last paragraph, you have to add netapi32.lib and wsock32.lib in the Project/Properties/Linker tab/General category/Library modules entry field). Regarding the LNK2005 error, see FAQ #26.

What do you mean by "moveSCP"? C-Move request messages are used to retrieve DICOM objects from a PACS and send them to a certain destination/workstation. On that destination/workstation, you could have DCMTK's storescp application running which is able to store the objects which were sent....

The starting point for the things you want to do is the "IdxRecord" structure in dcmtk-3.5.3/imagectn/include/dbpriv.h, line 274. Each instance in the index.dat file is a binary copy of a variable whose data type is IdxRecord. Check DCMTK's source code for what is exactly done with IdxReco...

Your command line is missing a specification for the query/retrieve level. Try findscu -P -k "0008,0052=PATIENT" -k "0010,0020=1035" 127.0.0.1 5678 Are you familiar with DICOM query/retrieve? See the DICOM standard part 4 section C.4.1.1.3.1 for details about C-Find and the query...

A snipplet of source code that shows you how to extract certain information from a DICOM file with DCMTK is available here (see first example).

What you call a "shortcut to directories" is actually a "dependency": dcm2xml makes use of functions in dcmdata and ofstd, hence it is dependent on dcmdata and ofstd. When dcmdata and ofstd are compiled, the compiler result are the two libraries (containing machine executable cod...

We would be more than happy to read all of your experiences in detail. Your descriptions are very probably of help to many other people, so we could also move them to the FAQ if you dont mind. The amount of people switching from VC++ 6.0 to VS 2005 is getting bigger every day, so corresponding quest...

Maybe you want to try to use dcmmkdir from dcmjpeg/apps instead of dcmgpdir. That command line tool is more powerful when it comes to the creation of DICOMDIR files. Moreover, are you sure you want to create a DICOMDIR based on the STD-GEN-CD application profile? If you are dealing with XA images th...
